Rayman 1

[PluMGMK]

Glad I played such an important though small part in the progression of your Rayman experience!

Tbh I'd love to own it some day, although I don't think I'll ever be able to justify to myself the expense or the clutter of a whole new (old) machine for one game…

[Steo]

I don't blame you. I had to pay like 120 including postage for the game, though I got the console for 30 as untested and got really lucky

I just have so many consoles that I want to have all of them to finish a collection. About clutter though, yeah I have a very cluttered room due to all of the stuff I have but I guess that's the downside to collecting stuff

[Steo]

Doesn't Picture City look weird when it's red and not pink

[Aaron]

Yeah it does

[The Jonster]

I quite like it actually

[Steo]

The Jaguar version is just so different. Part 3 of Eraser Plains is completely different and I kept dying at that part since it's so weird compared to what I'm used to.

Did Ubisoft delete Rayman Classic? I searched it on the App Store and nothing came up. Good thing I already have it downloaded...

[Steo]

It's gone on the play store too actually, I just checked. I already have it downloaded too anyway.

[Birds858]

It’s also gone on the App Store, very strange because Rayman Jungle Run, Rayman Fiesta Run and Adventure are still here ?

[Steo]

It's just called Rayman on my phone now too instead of Rayman Classic.

[The Jonster]

I should check it out I dunno if it’s still on the app store

[Steo]

CheesePudding and Birds said it isn't. It's weird to be gone from both the App Store and Play Store and also be named Rayman. I thought it was always labelled Rayman Classic.

[SunsetTheStupid]

Maybe they just don't want any ports as apps? Maybe that's why Rayman 2 was deleted as well? Also it is weird that it's just called Rayman Now. Noticed that.

[Steo]

So do you guys know that the Jaguar has 2 cages in part 2 of Eat At Joe's and one of them is the PC versions cage location? It's there instead of being on part 6. I was actually missing a cage and looked up a video of Eat At Joe's real quick since I couldn't find it and had played through expecting to see it on part 6.

Of course the search brought up a video from Haruka Tavares

So the PS1 PAL version of Rayman vs NTSC has more differences than I would have expected. The PAL version has these spiky balls up high enough to duck under like I always do, but in the NTSC version you can't get under them, it kills you.

[PluMGMK]

Interesting. I wonder if it's related to the 576i resolution…

[Steo]

Interesting. I wonder if it's related to the 576i resolution…

I think you'd be right about it having something to do with that because the screen itself is taller on the PAL version too.

PAL 720x576:

NTSC 720x480:

Notice the PAL screen is taller and you can see how the HUD is up higher too.

EDIT: The Ting placement at the top is also a key giveaway.

[PluMGMK]

Ah yes. This must be where I got the idea about punching Moskito again and again at the top of the screen…

[The Jonster]

It sucks though, that there are these differences that can change the way a game is played in different regions. It bothered me so much when I couldn't make that jump over the Knaaren in Rayman 3 when PAL users can. And it's rare for stuff like this to bother me...well ever!

[Steo]

If I notice anything else I'll report it too but I was really surprised when Rayman yelped and flew into the water on the NTSC one when I played it

The Knaaren can be jumped on other NTSC versions too. I have tested that and GameCube NTSC was the only one that you can't if I recall correctly. Even the PC version worked in my tests.
