The primary gaming computer ...

The "golden era" of Rare games began with the 1994 release of Donkey Kong Country, which re-started the Donkey Kong franchise, not to mention employing pioneering graphics and sound that allowed the SNES to beat off the competition from the Sega Genesis. From that point on, Rare were seen as Nintendo's primary support, as they continued to produce excellent games for Ninten ...

| | | | 1980s - Video Games: Encyclopedia II - Rare video game company - Future The next generation of consoles is key for Rare. Xbox 360 is reliant on Rare games for its launch, including Perfect Dark Zero, a prequel to Nintendo 64's smash hit Perfect Dark, which had originally been planned for both the GameCube and Xbox. Rare's Perfect Dark Zero sold moderately well during the Xbox 360's launch, but was not the break away hit Microsoft needed. Rare's other Xbox 360 launch title, Kameo: Elements of Power, flopped in sales at launch. If the Xbox 360 sells poorly (as it is doing in Japan; see ...

| | | | 1980s - Video Games: Encyclopedia II - History of computer and video games - The 1990s If the 1980s were about the rise of the industry, the 1990s were about its maturing into a Hollywood-esque landscape of ever-increasing budgets and increasingly consolidated publishers, with the losers slowly being crushed or absorbed. As this happens, the wide variety of games that existed in the 1980s appears to fade away, with the larger corporations desiring to maximize profitability and lower risk.
With the increasing computing power and decreasing cost of processors like Intel 386, 486, and Motorola 68000, the 1990s saw the rise of 3D graphics, as w ...

| | | | 1980s - Video Games: Encyclopedia II - Rare video game company - Possible Origins of their media shy nature During the Ultimate years, the company gained a reputation for being media shy. It wasn't an intentional PR ploy, but it was simply that they were understaffed and spent nearly all of their time developing games. Thus they did not have time for interviews or trade shows. Though they often promised interviews, they only did so once they'd finished their current game. But then had little time to spare because they'd have started a new project. Tim Stamper said in a Crash interview thay the only time off they had during the Ultimate years was two Christ ...
