Rayman for Atari Jaguar

A look at the original Rayman for the Atari Jaguar. Includes a look at the bonus Breakout mini-game that's not in any other console version of the game. (Although the PC version has it too).

what was with the numbers at the end? 1 3 6 4? is that some sort of passcode?

also I notice apart from the lil mosquito thing shooting instead of you swining your fist there are some other differences to the PS1 version like sound effects and stage music ect.

@MegaMizfit: The 1364 is the code you use to unlock the bonus Breakout mini-game.

was thet Up 3 6 4 a code?

by the way this game could've been more fun if they had that mostiqo fire ball in the ps version and that mini game

[jvgsjeff]

@AMD7thS: It was 1364, and yes it's a code. If you entered it on the title screen, that's how you got to play the Breakout mini-game.

PS1 version's music was much better, IMO.

@MegaMizfit the jaguar version was the first version of rayman ever. So yeah, the music is different and the sound effects are too. Even some of the levels are different! XD

@finly42 Eh, you're right. I'm young anyway, right? haha

[finly42]

@johnfotus716 patience is a virtue my friend i dont know what country your from but on ebay uk, yes only a handful of all atari come up a month but when they do fuck all people bid on them, i got mine for £7 complete including postage which is around $12 if the exchange rate is the same when i last checked. That was only 6 months or so ago and i have seen about 5 raymans since and that just from typing atari jaguar into the search engine

[johnfotus716]

@finly42 eBay? What's that? haha Nah, it's just never on eBay! At least when I look.

[finly42]

For The Jaguar Version,Ubisoft Really push the system to it's limit to get the graphics and animations very simlar to the PS1/Saturn Version! O.o I asume that it would have been missing some animations and whatnot due to the Cartridge Format and Memory,But as soon as I saw this version,Boy was I wrong!!

Wow that is awesome, I grew up thinking this was first released on the Saturn, ha I always loved the Saturn version. Very funny hearing the midi sounds for music. To me what I loved so much about this game beyond how it looked was the music and sound effects. At the time, CD quality music was still ground breaking. I like hearing the differences.

I used to have this on my GBA! Now I know where it comes from haha.
