I played it for a bit and gave up before getting into the main part of the game, then again I went in not knowing what to expect and ending up not liking the theming of the game so i only have myself to blame there.

Oh my God, the original Rayman has sound effects :shock: . I had the PC version as a kid and I'm realizing now that for some reason when I ran it on my PC (an ancient Cybermax with Windows 98) for some reason the background music would play but the sound effects wouldn't. I've thought that Rayman didn't have them for years and years...

The original Rayman has always given me trouble on PC. I think it's sort of like Sonic CD's PC version; poorly ported although still great fun if you can get it to work.

I actually had trouble with most games I tried to get to run on my oldest PC that weren't made by Humongous Entertainment. I also had Rayman 2, and for the longest time the graphics would always glitch (the textures were handled improperly and came out blurry), and the game would sometimes crash at certain points. I had no concept of PC specs then.

"Sex is a hybrid rhythm action and roleplaying game from the developers behind Fighting and Talking. You take control of one of two characters (though mods have enabled support for several more) and attempt to induce a paroxysm in your opponent through a mixture of theatre, gymnastics and button-mashing."

One of my favorite things was the "But thou must." dialogue. You could keep it going all day.

screen protecters are a godsend!

I let my friend borrow my dsxl and his 5 year old kid really pulled a number on that bottom screen. I'm glad for that screen protector.

I shudder to think what condition the screen would be without it.

It may be annoying pulling out all of those air bubbles, but in the end its worth it.

Too bad people didn't use screen protectors back in the day.

You should see the screens on my GBCs and Game Gear (all purchased used). Scratched as hell. I think the previous owners were cats.

I don't know where you could get replacement Game Gear screens (I know mine is scratched up too) but Game Boy is easy to find. Here's one place that has them.
