Jaguar Rayman is best Rayman, actually

Rayman on PSX/Saturn makes a wonderful first impression and a rewarding 100th impression, but impressions two-through-99 are a nightmare of punishing difficulty that forces the player to rogue memorize everything. Such is Rayman's reputation. What's curious is that a mellow version of Rayman does exist; it's just been ignored by the gaming community and the developers alike. Such is life on the Atari Jaguar.

So uhhhh, hi? I promise I never mean to upload one video per year; this video just took a lot out of me. I feel like I could never say the word "CD" again in my life and feel no sense of loss. I started recording gameplay in October, drafted the script in November, and began editing the video in March. Real-life also spared no expense in trying to keep me from making this, but it's finally done.

I've watched drafts of this video so many times in the past four months that I'm not even sure if I like what I made anymore. You know that phenomenon where you say a word enough times that it doesn't even sound like a real word anymore? This is that but in YouTube video form for me. I'm just glad there's finally a video out there vindicating the Atari Jaguar version of this game.

As always, this video is public domain. Use it however you please. I'm sure I'll need the publicity given I'm a bitter, old, hardened YouTube reviewer who refuses to let trivial things like "demonetization" and "sponsorships" keep me from swearing every other minute.
