The French born Rayman debuted as a 16-bit 2D platformer for the Atari Jaguar and later made his way to competing systems Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation. The stylized, jointless character featured a very unique, colorful look blended with jaw dropping background graphics and, to top everything off, rock solid gameplay mechanics. For its time, Rayman was one of the best games in its class and, not surprisingly, was very successful.
