lwelyk of The Gaming Dungeon takes a look back at an older 2D platformer: the original Rayman in his Retro Acquired column. Back before the game series was taken over by crazy rabbits.

I love a good 2D platformer, and it’s a shame that those seem to be going by the wayside for, what I see as, their inferior 3D counterparts. 2D platformers do come back occasionally, and the upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks amazing; but if I want my fix I generally have to turn to older titles. One I recently returned to was Rayman. I owned the PC version of Rayman and played it like crazy as a kid, but hadn’t really thought of it in years until I saw it on the PlayStation Store. I quickly downloaded it and remembered why I loved the game so much.
