'''''Rayman Gold''''' is a remake of the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']] that was released for the PC in 1997. It contains the original game, as well as 24 brand new levels, and a level building tool that is like ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. The 24 new levels are said to be much harder than any in the original Rayman.
'''''Rayman Gold''''' is a bundle of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' that was released for the PC in 1997. The ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' game which comes in this bundle is oddly enough called ''Rayman Gold'' although it is the same game as ''[[Rayman Designer|Designer]]''. Some copies also comes with 4 making of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' videos.

The 24 new levels are the levels that come with Rayman Gold. They are slightly different to original Rayman gameplay, as instead of having to free [[Electoon]]s and get to the end of a level, Rayman must collect all the [[Ting]]s in a level to make the [[exit sign]] appear. There are no cages, bosses, rising water, etc. here.

==[[Dream Forest]]==
==Issues with OS compatibility==
'''The Sky's the Limit''':
Both [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] and the ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' expansion kit are DOS applications. They usually run well under pure DOS or under Windows 95/98/ME, but may have issues with NT-based versions of Windows (2000 and later). If the game does not run out of the box, there are unofficial patches that can improve compatibility. Alternatively, the DOSBox emulator may be used.
This level introduces one of the new features of the game, the inflatable balloons. Rayman must use these balloons to get across large rivers and reach up to high areas.


'''Fruity Fun''':
However, the main installer, as well as the level editor (mapper) are Windows applications, which will not run under pure DOS. There seems to be no DOS-based installer for the ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' part of ''Rayman Gold'', but the files can be copied manually from the CD. [[Rayman 1|The original ''Rayman'']] shipping with ''Rayman Gold'' has a DOS installer, which can also be run from Windows.
A long, difficult level with lots of [[plum]]s and [[spiky fruit]]s.


'''Junglemania''':
==Issues with missing audio tracks==
Rayman gets to use the [[Magic seed|seed power]] here. He must plant the seeds to grow plants that will help him reach places he couldn't normally reach.
The Focus Multimedia / Revival Multimedia UK re-release (distributed on a CD with part number '''ESS254''' or '''REV023''') is missing all audio tracks, resulting in no music during either game (sound effects work fine). The copy of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] shipped with this release will still recognize [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] CD for music, but this workaround will not work for ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. The original big-box UK release is not affected by this problem. The Nordic version of ''Rayman Gold'' from PC BEST BUY #37, made in Denmark, includes all soundtracks.

Rayman Gold is a bundle of the original Rayman game and Rayman Designer that was released for the PC in 1997. The Rayman Designer game which comes in this bundle is oddly enough called Rayman Gold although it is the same game as Designer. Some copies also comes with 4 making of Rayman 2 videos.

The 24 new levels

Main article: Rayman Designer

The 24 new levels come with Rayman Gold. They are slightly different from the original Rayman's gameplay, as instead of having to free Electoons and get to the end of a level, Rayman must collect all the Tings in a level to make the exit sign appear. There are no cages, bosses, rising water, etc. here.

Issues with OS compatibility

Both the original Rayman and the Rayman Designer expansion kit are DOS applications. They usually run well under pure DOS or under Windows 95/98/ME, but may have issues with NT-based versions of Windows (2000 and later). If the game does not run out of the box, there are unofficial patches that can improve compatibility. Alternatively, the DOSBox emulator may be used.

However, the main installer, as well as the level editor (mapper) are Windows applications, which will not run under pure DOS. There seems to be no DOS-based installer for the Rayman Designer part of Rayman Gold, but the files can be copied manually from the CD. The original Rayman shipping with Rayman Gold has a DOS installer, which can also be run from Windows.

Issues with missing audio tracks

The Focus Multimedia / Revival Multimedia UK re-release (distributed on a CD with part number ESS254 or REV023) is missing all audio tracks, resulting in no music during either game (sound effects work fine). The copy of the original Rayman shipped with this release will still recognize the original Rayman CD for music, but this workaround will not work for Rayman Designer. The original big-box UK release is not affected by this problem. The Nordic version of Rayman Gold from PC BEST BUY #37, made in Denmark, includes all soundtracks.
