That reminds me of a funny anecdote about the PC version, if anyone cares.
First time I'd ever heard of Rayman, my older brother and I were about 7 and 6 I think, and we'd always watch our cousin play Rayman. None of us could get past Band Land, though, so that became the world I remembered most from the game. (I'd fallen in love with it instantly, of course.)
Well, years had past before we'd had any more contact with Rayman games, and while my love for it never subsided, and my bro and I would amuse ourselves with Rayman Rush, it was never quite the same without Rayman 1.
Then, one fateful day, about 5 years later, a different cousin of ours had been giving away his stuff, and our mother had it all in a big box and was pulling stuff out to give to us. She'd pulled out a game and asked us if we wanted it, and she said it was called Rayman. At that moment we both rushed over to her, leaving dust clouds in the shapes of our bodies behind us. My bro let me have it, but since it was on PC, we couldn't play it yet.
As childhood memories came rushing back, I'd finally gotten back into Rayman. Unfortunately, my bro was mad at me one day, and he SCRATCHED THE DISC TO DESTRUCTION!!!!!! Thus severring my ties to Rayman for another 6 years!
But 6 years later, and surprisingly this was only a few months ago, I'd gotten back into Rayman yet again. And I went and bought the PS1 version, having not found it anywhere else, let alone even remembering it was on PlayStation at all. And I've been playing the crap out of it ever since, drawing Rayman and Mister Dark nonstop, writing Rayman fanfictions, and joining this forum!
The point of this story is that I'm REALLY not a PC person. My heart and talent are with PlayStation. So it was for the best that my bro destroyed the PC game. Because, I love it to death, but Rayman is the most difficult game I've ever played (and the funnest)!! I would never, EVER, in a MILLION YEARS, be able to even get past Pink Plant Woods on a PC let alone beat the game on PC. If I'd started on PC, chances are Rayman would have been ruined for me.
