So you got the Japanese version of Rayman 1, that's nice. :)

What I particularly like in it is the different cover artwork, but I still prefer the original one for us Europeans.

This brings up a question: does Joe owns a café franchising? Afterall, he is in a grassy area in that cover, while we only know he owns a café in the Caves of Skops. :P

If that's the case, there must be other Joes in the Valley, too! Or else only one can operate at a time. :P
He also appears to have one in the Dream Forest.

Joe is an alien with alien technology, there may yet just be one Joe, but his franchises are all connected to one major hub, via teleportation and the like.

Yeah :D
Also, if anyone wants to find good Japanese deals, http://www.gamebaz.com/ is better than eBay for that. Rayman 1 is even said to be bestseller there :mryellow:

Well, the Saturn Japanese version has same artwork Europeans got so it's nice to see that Ubisoft likes both artworks so they decided to show both artworks in Japan depending which version the one gets. I myself like a PS1 Japanese artowrk a bit better mostly because it is more colorful, and I always had a soft spot for stuff like that.

Well, it does makes sense since Japanese version is made later so they had time to improve it a bit like giving Rayman extra animations and better sound effects.

Thats exactly what I said in video and I even left link in description, so your reaction is quite funny :P
I am not surprised at all, since it is a PS1 game and PS1 games are old. You can see that modern stuff are much more expensive.

I think that 53€ isn't that expensive, there is MUCH expensive things in world like a Wii U (which I want to have)...

What would you recommand me?
PlayStation 1 with Rayman 2 custom design or Nintendo 64 with Rayman 2 design as well? The seller got them both:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PS-1-Konsole-Cu ... 58a65e27a6
http://www.ebay.com/itm/N64-Konsole-Cus ... 58a81c96c1

To be honest I'd take the N64 because I like the design more and I can already play PS1 games on my PS2.

In my opinion, the GBA is not expensive for that price.

I'm terribly not familiar with 1990's computers and games ran with DOS, but I didn't believe the original Rayman was distributed on a Floppy Disk alongside the CD version. It is introductory version of some sort, the seller claims it's rare. Not to mention the laughable spelling errors on that label.
