I can relate to that, but more so the zombie chickens than the Knaarens for me. :P

When I was a kid I didn't play Rayman 3 for a good while because of the Knaarens. 'x) Let's say I was easely frightened at this time.

I noticed a discussion a few pages back about the camera in Jano's mouth during the chase. I can definitely see why that might be scary, but I think I was too frustrated on my first playthrough to bother being scared. Either way, good Nightmare Retardant would be to play in a 16:9 resolution - his jaws are built in 4:3, and when the edges are revealed, they are weirdly off-centre apart from everything else.

Hmm, isn't the Dreamcast version widescreen compatible? As in proper widescreen, I'm curious to see how Jano's jaws are in that version when in 16:9 mode.

I think the Sega Saturn was also widescreen compatible, because I have that option in the emulator.

We're talking about Rayman 2 here. Rayman 2 did not have a Saturn version.

I know. Rayman 2 is only avaiable on Dreamcast, PC, PS1, N64, PS2, NDS, 3DS, iOS and did I missed a version?

So essentially you just dedicated a whole post to pointing out that the Saturn can do widescreen for absolutely no reason whatsoever?

It would seem so, anyone played through the Eig chase in widescreen on the Dreamcast? I'd like to know if there's any blatant issues with the jaws, given, like Plum said, they're tailored to 4:3, not 16:9.

On my horrible 5:4 resolution, there's pieces of the screen to the sides that aren't being covered. It's a little bit sad to see as it really really breaks the immersion.

Wasn't there a Genesis version?

No, I was being serious. Wasn't there a version of Rayman 2 that came out on the Sega Genesis? Or am I thinking of something else?

Nope. Maybe you're thinking of Plok? Dynamite Headdy? Ri-star? :O

It's okay. But I'm sure Rayman 2 was ported to more than just what Omar listed.

AFAIK the only version he missed was the GBC version.
