I've seen these screens before, they were also in Rayman's English/French/Math learning games here in NL. Some art and cutscenes might be of interest to Rayman 1 fans, but the games themselves aren't really that interesting unless you know a child loving platformers who wants to learn some English/French or basic math. The level design is usually based more on trivia than actual platforming where you see a question, line, or sum and have to enter the right platform or pathway (each containing an answer) to continue. Taking the wrong path/platform will result in death by a group of red Antitoons and/or spikes.
However, I remember some art and gameplay elements that strongly relate to Rayman 1 but haven't been used in any other games. Like red Antitoons, Betilla's Garden intro art, or those Picture City palette platform (the same as Skops UFO platform instead here it's a palette riding a different line). I think most of the worlds contained some random elements and details that weren't used in Rayman 1 and Designer.

That’s what I’m using. You just need to run the Track 01.bin file like you would any PS1 disc image. This particular game takes a while to load for some reason.Haruka said:

I've tried that but it just keeps giving the same error that it can't read the CUE file even though I've checked it and there seems to be no faults 
EDIT:
Just tried this and got more possitive results...litterally the colour black. I don't know if this was the game attempting to load or just nothing but explorer crashed and I had to close the emmulator before I could continue
Is the black screen to be expected?

The black screen is normal. For me it goes to the language-selection screen after about ten seconds of blackness.Electoon said:Just tried this and got more possitive results...litterally the colour black.

I know Electoon has got the game working in the PSX emulator, but for anyone who would like to play it in ePSXe, try these video plugin settings:Haruka said:

Well this is definitely English with Rayman, not Rayman Junior. If anyone wants the same game for PC or a similar one to learn French, I got those in Dutch. 
They probably made the mistake of calling it Rayman Junior because that is also called "Maths and English with Rayman". This is definitely just English with Rayman though. I had no idea it also existed on PS1.

Aww, the most adorable Spanish accent ever. 
I can make out most of what he's saying, but the gnome/bulb/garlic acid sequence sounds as trippy as it looks. Superlooooool~
Oh. And electoon, that's not queen's English. Andrew's from South London! Yay!

Ahh, interesting. The most DASTARDLY spell he could cast.
And Andrew's accent is constantly changing. Halfway through the first stage, he goes Kentish. Then in the second stage, he's posh.

I was going to make pretty much the same video, but I couldn’t be bothered fiddling about with FRAPS until it decided to start working for me, and I was having difficulty understanding what the hell I was supposed to do in the next level (the one after the level shown in your video), so I just uploaded the game and wrote a description with some screenshots instead.Electoon said:
Are you playing the same copy of the game that I uploaded? The world map in your video looks quite different to the one I’m getting – the most noticeable change being that they’ve pasted a big green hill where the World Trade Centre used to be, for obvious reasons. While they were editing the map to censor the twin towers, I think they also took the liberty of making several other alterations, such as Raymanising the Statue of Liberty.
Is it possible that the PS1 version of English with Rayman is titled ‘Rayman Junior’? That would explain the apparent discrepancy with the filename.Drolpiraat said:Well this is definitely English with Rayman, not Rayman Junior.

Well, I'm European, so I can help you to clarify this question.
This is the normal Rayman Junior, the one with "The Book of Knowledge":
This is the "crazy French version" we're talking about:
Simply the 4th version of Rayman Junior.
It's weird because I never saw this version in Italy :S
