Rayman Classic – A retro classic for a modern audience | The Outerhaven
Gary says: It was 1996 and I was four years old when Ubisoft’s spellbinding Rayman landed in my lap as a Christmas present. Rayman was the first game I’d ever played; the fact I’m still interested in gaming to this day is a testament to how central Michel Ancel’s floppy-haired limbless hero was to me growing up. I will always regard the classic Rayman as one of the true greats and while Rayman 2: The Great Escape (and the lesser known Tonic Trouble, while we’re at it) took Ancel’s ideas to daring, three-dimensional places – nothing will ever top that feeling of finally defeating the Space Mama boss after months and months of abject failure.
