'''''Rayman Gold''''' is a bundle of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' that was released for the PC in 1997.

==The 24 new levels==

''Main ~~article: [[~~Rayman Designer~~]]''~~

The 24 new levels come with ''Rayman Gold''. They are slightly different to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]'s 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 [[cage]]s, bosses, rising water, etc. here.

==Issues with OS compatibility==

Line 22:

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.

==Issues with ~~the UK release~~==

==Issues with missing audio tracks==

The ~~UK release of the game, distributed by~~ Focus Multimedia / Revival Multimedia ~~has~~ a ~~major fault: the~~ audio tracks ~~were omitted from the CD~~, 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~~, so that can be used~~ for music, but this workaround will not work for ''[[Rayman Designer]]''.

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.
