Did Rayman 1 ever receive a Windows port?

Post by headcleaner »

I know it had plenty of DOS releases but was a native Win32 binary ever released?
Just curious.

I'm afraid not. If there were, people wouldn't have had to spend the 2000s mucking around with DOSBox to get it to run on Windows XP and newer.

There were a few educational games in the universe of the first one that were Win32, but they involved the use of a mouse and weren't platformers.
