Rayman himself

Has anyone ever wondered why he's refered to or named Ray MAN (aside from Raytracing which Im not referring to here), when clearly there is nothing 'man' or human about him at all? When I was young I used to think Rayman was actually a type of dog O.O
 
Besides that software thing, a "rule of cool" probably, him being named Rayboy or just Ray for an example wouldn't have had the same effect.
 
Wasn't "Rayman" itself the name of a piece of raytracing software they were using? Maybe it was internally-developed software since otherwise they surely couldn't have done that because of trademarks.

Of course, that doesn't really answer the question, since "man" makes even less sense in a software package name! :fou2:
 
'Ryman' (Spelt exactly like that) is a stationary shop here in the UK ....thats a funny one XD
 
Come to think of it, "Pacman" makes even less sense than "Rayman" too – I guess it was just a trend back then in a male-dominated industry :confus:

Just the term "Ray Man" makes me think of those "official " t-shirts! :lol:
 
Yup absolutely, people hate them so much! I on the other hand just find them absolutely laughable. :lol:
 
These t-shirts are such a joke :lol:

How was something like this even approved? :paranormal:

Yeah man! Burn them all and then celebrate with more tshirts drinks and more games woohoo!
 
Burning T-shirts because of what's printed on them? Isn't that like burning flags or books? :mefiant:

Heh. My mother still calls him "Raymond'.
 
You don’t understand, these flawless shirts are filled with so much magic. By burning them, you release their essence into the air which will slowly fill the world with Rayman’s spirit.
