Donkey Kong Country 2, Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark. Rare will never reach these heights again.

that's exactly how I feel, I still remember all the rumors about the ice key and the eggs in bajo kazzoie and those codes to get them

 

[worldrunover]

I'll remember them for 1997, the last year they were relevant in gaming. GoldenEye, DKR, Blast Corps, with the prospect of Banjo soon thereafter. They were king of the hill for one golden year.

After that they were plagued with delays, and oh yeah, no games. The "collectathons" thing is way overblown. Though it did wreck JFG.

Anyway, I'll remember them for '97.

By the toothmarks in the NES pad I was using when I hit the speed bike level in Battletoads.

 

[dog$]

As the company that made
RC Pro Am series
Wizards & Warriors series
Killer Instinct (nostalgia pick: arcade only, good music, gameplay is mostly feh)
Blast Corps.

and a bunch of other shit that I don't care about.

By the toothmarks in the NES pad I was using when I hit the speed bike level in Battletoads.

I played that level ENDLESSLY, it was so goddamn hard. But I did beat it.

Which is more than I can say for Snake Rattle N Roll. DAMN YOU RARE

 

[strikeselect]

I'll remember them for Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing.

The golden era for Rare IMO

They made the N64 a worthy purchase. Without Rare, N64= shit

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I think their the reason the N64 seems better than the GC most the time...it was if there was a whole 'nother part of Nintendo making fascinating games. Which I guess...there was. Unfortunately, their gone now and both parties seem to be hurting for it.

Hope one of their new games is decent. Don't really think they will be, but hope so.

 

[Gattsu25]

How will I remember them?

As the company that made good NES games (and Battletoads ARCADE )

 

[wandering goat]

Awesome N64 games (for the most part.) I'll especially remember them for Banjo-Kazooie, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark's multiplayer.

For these:

Looooonaarrrrr Jet Mon (I had a currah microspeech

 

[G-Fex]

failures. Giving up the bond license to EA was a stupid move, Rare. You don't even care about anything anymore, PDZero won't be that good huh you fuckwits.

 

[Ponn]

I will always remember them for giving us P. Diddy's (oops, I mean just Diddy now) famous "Grabbed by the Ghoulies YO!"
