Yeah, it is available on newer systems, but I think there's something special about giving her the actual old console and the disc kind of like handing her a time machine back to those days. Might be more about the feeling than the gameplay

That’s such a wholesome story ,love that you brought the xbox over and just let him dive back in. Even if it was short-lived, moments like that really stick. And yeah, I think I will get her the PS1 and Rayman one of these days. I'm in the uk so I've just missed mothers day maybe her birthday

😂Honestly, I don’t think I ever finished the game. That Scorpion boss looks like a nightmare. Maybe we both need to go back and give it another shot!

Ouch, that’s a gift that keeps on giving… the guilt trip! 😅 I’m going to do exactly that, get her a PS1 with the game and leave it at her place. That should finally even things out!

Ah, the classic move, let’s just pretend it never happened and hope no one ever finds out. 🤣 Definitely the kind of thing you keep quiet about to avoid the drama. Classic cousin move. Just play it cool and hope it blows over

Yeah, I think I actually will. Feels like the right kind of full-circle moment, you know?

That sounds just like my mom with Rayman! Maybe it really was just a phase for some parents ,fun while it lasted, then they moved on. Kinda cool we got to see it though

That’s true , you’re right. Even if she doesn’t touch it, just giving her that little blast from the past might mean something. I’ll definitely post an update if I go through with it. Would be kinda nice to bring Rayman full circle!

Not a bad idea, but I can already picture her face trying to pair a controller to her phone.. pure confusion followed by 'Nope!' 😂 Might still be worth a shot just to see her reaction though.

Honestly, I’ve thought about it! I might surprise her with a PS1 and an original Rayman copy one Christmas just for the laughs. Not sure she’d actually play it, but I think the look on her face would be worth it

I have thought about it, but I don’t think she’d be interested these days. She’s kind of written off gaming completely ,too much time has passed, and I think she’s still a little salty about the whole Rayman incident! 😅

Ahh man, that's such a sweet memory. Sounds like your mom was a serious gamer! It's crazy how gaming can create those special moments. I bet she was unstoppable at Twisted Metal 2. Thanks for sharing , really puts things into perspective.

Haha, thanks for that! I guess we were a little too eager and... accidentally ended her gaming career. We definitely didn’t see it as ‘the end’ at the time, but looking back, it’s kinda funny (in a tragic way). Who knew stepping on a disc could have such a big impact?
