Windows 7 64-bit. I'm not using the Steam/GOG version because I already own the CD version, and I try not to buy games twiceAlyG: If he's not a joke account then what is he? He starts bandwagons on himself and insults other people.- UltimaAvalon

I've been to that wiki page and it is 0 helpful. I am able to install the game, so the mounting/installation instructions also isn't helpful. What happens is when running, it just says Program:INTRO at the top and I get a black screen of nothing happeningAlyG: If he's not a joke account then what is he?

In the installation, it gives several options for sound cards. I had no idea what to pick, so I went with ultrasound because picking soundblaster wanted IRQs and channels and I don't know what else. Changing it back to soundblaster with all the default options worked. ThanksAlyG: If he's not a joke account then what is he? He starts bandwagons on himself and insults other people.- UltimaAvalon

well thats the thing, I'm not "attached" to any of them because I don;t know what any of them are. The only reason I picked Ultrasound was because I only had to mash enter twice as opposed to 4 or 5 timesAlyG: If he's not a joke account then what is he?

Rayman Origins is probably one of my favorite platformers, and definitely one of the best games I played this year, but it doesnt really count as retro. Its a shame a lot of people put it on their backburner simply because of the timing of its release.
Rayman and Crash Bandicoot on PSX were both good, while on the N64, Mario 64 started a trend that moved what was traditionally platforming into something closer to Adventure, making it hard to classify games like Banjo-Kazooiee and Donkey Kong 64.
The SNES was mostly dominated by Mario and Kirby, but there was also a neat gem called Act Raiser that combined elements of town building and strategy with platforming.
For trying to get into Platformimng I'd say Mario Brothers 2 or 3 on the NES, Super Mario World or Yoshis Island on SNES, and I would go with Mega Man X on SNES rather than the Mega Man Classic on NES, simply because MMC has some very unforgiving moments and pixel perfect jumping, while MMX played a role in innovating the genre by introducing dashing and wall jumpingAlyG: If he's not a joke account then what is he?
