[GangBoxer]

was this your first time playing?

[jvgsjeff]

@GangBoxer: No, but it was my first time going back to it after not playing it for years.

The original Rayman was originally planned for the SNES and featured 2-Player

Co-Op but that version was cancelled.

[jvgsjeff]

@MamaLuigiBarrelRoll: Not true. Rayman originated as an Atari Jaguar game.

[MamaLuigiBarrelRoll]

@jvgsjeff I never said it wasn't planned for the Jaguar. There is a website entitled "Unseen64.net" with an article about the SNES one. I think it's one of the featured articles right now.

[jvgsjeff]

@MamaLuigiBarrelRoll: Hmm, I never heard that before (nor have I heard of that site before), so I don't know. But they do say that "Ubisoft decided to move the project to the new CD-Rom consoles," yet the first version was a cartridge game (Jaguar). And I don't know why they would release screenshots of the SNES game now when they didn't release any at the time it was in development. It's an interesting story if true.

I miss the pre-Rabbid days. Just fun platforming, none of this mini-game rubbish.

@nintendoboy17 if it makes it any easier, there's PS1, 2, Dreamcast, DS and 3DS versions of this game also or you could play it on the PJ64 emulator. And oh god @xxfuzzyyetixx this was totally my childhood game too ;__;
