Rayman Symbian!

Post by syntheticgerbil »

Has anyone played Rayman for the Symbian phone thingy? Is it basically just Rayman for game boy color with different GUI stuff?

It certainly has much nicer color though, going by these screenshots: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Rayman.php

Either way, it's using the same sprites, graphics, and objects that the GBC version has, but I have no idea if the level design is the same. It's probably a lot easier to play with more screen.

I see a lot of screens of this show up on Google and always wondered what they were for. They look weird, like the GBC game with the shrunken Rayman sprite thrown in.

I looked around the Rayman Fanpage and it would appear the Symbian version is the same as Rayman for the Pocket PC or Palm OS, just with a different screen size:

They still all look like the GBC version to me though. Anyone have Rayman for the Pocket PC or Palm OS to confirm they are all just a big screen port of the GBC version?

If not, maybe I can find a rom and emulate these two.

Still working on finding working roms of Rayman Bowling and Rayman Golf as well...

Yeah, but it has no confirmation whether or not Rayman Symbian/Pocket PC is just a port of Rayman for GBC.

Yeah, haha, it definitely is a beautiful game, especially with the graphic limitations imposed on the original Game Boy color version (assuming that is the original) but I would still like to play it and see what it is exactly... or have someone play it and tell me, heh.
