Rayman can also be found on the GameBoy Advance, under the title of Rayman Advance. It is also available on the US and UK Playstation Store and can be purchased for $5.99 and 3.49 (Euros) respectively.
Rayman lives in a peaceful world where the magical creatures and nature coexist with one another. It's not until Mister Dark, a cloaked villain claims the Great Protoon for himself and destroys the balance and harmony in Rayman's world. The electoons that orbited the Great Protoon were scattered across the land and locked in cages. It's up to Rayman to free the electoons and reclaim the Great Protoon stolen by Mister Dark so the world can live in harmony once more.
At the beginning of the game, Rayman can't do anything besides walk and jump, but at certain points in the game he is given new abilities by Betilla the fairy. He will eventually be able to use his fists to punch at enemies, hang onto ledges and grab onto various objects, including swinging from floating loops in the air. He can also learn to fly for a short amount of time and also run when a button is held down.
As Rayman explores each stage, he is able to collect small blue objects called Tings. He can offer them to the Magician, who can give Rayman access to special bonus stages. Collecting one hundred Tings will also award Rayman with an extra life.
The main aim of the game is to collect every single electoon in the stages throughout the game. Every stage has six electoon cages hidden, which need to be found in order to access the final stages and the final boss battle.

Updated Versions
Rayman Gold
The game was released on the PC on 28 September 1997. Along with the original game, this package contained Rayman Designer, allowing to players to design and create their own levels and then share them with others via the internet. The game also contained 24 new, original levels; these had the same gameplay, but featured some new concepts: 100 blue Tings have to be collected before Rayman can finish a level. Other features were added such as event-triggering Tings, addtional objects and a level timer to see how fast the player finishes the level.Rayman Forever
Around a year later a second PC version was released. It was the same as Rayman Gold, but it came with 50 or so new levels over the original and a fridge magnet. Various sections of the soundtrack were erased to save space on the 500 MB disc.Rayman Collector
A final version was released with sixty levels. Nothing else was different from the other versions.PC Requirements
