I really have enjoyed most of Rare's games over the years, was curious if anyone else was a fan of this company and their stuff? I think the only game they have had out that I did not like was conker...

Jetpack is a classic favorite of mine... Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Blast Corps, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, Jet Force Gemini, Star Fox Adventures all fun games... more recent ones such as PDZ(not quite as good as the first one... from what I know, some of the PD/Goldeneye team left to Free Radical, which made the Timesplitter series if I am correct) Kameo and Viva Piñata. I can't wait for the new Banjo game on the 360...

Kameo was and is a lot of fun... one of my first 360 games and I still like it lots. I was shocked when I played Viva Piñata, it is really a lot of fun... I think Rare is still doing a good job with their games, I can't wait to see their future stuff!

I miss the ol' Rare/Nintendo combination.

 

[MysteriousDisciple]

Yeah, the glory days... lol the game quality was a lot better back then... but they still do a good job. I don't know how many of them are the original Rare guys though...

You forgot to mention Grabbed by the Ghoulies!

Not that you forgot a gem, mind you.

 

[MysteriousDisciple]

Oh yeah... oops! I never got a chance to play that one, forgot about it... one of the few Rare titles I have yet to beat. How was it?

I wish they would have made a sequel to "Jet Force Gemini"....... I still haven't found all the space ship parts on the final leg of the game..........

Blast Corps................. by far the most overlooked game ever made, next to "Jet Set Radio Future". Good times blowing stuff up. I still get rocked to that banjo!

Ahhh, Banjo Kazooie.......... So many hours spent searching for music notes and Jinjos. A buddy and I sat down, started a new game, and found every last darn thing!

 

[MysteriousDisciple]

Haha, good times indeed... enjoyed every last one of those games. I too wish JFG would have had sequel. Blast Corps would be pretty sweet on updated consoles, and I can't wait to see the new Banjo... I hope it is as fun as the N64 ones... I really hope so!

Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Blast Corps...

those are the only games i've played by them that i can remember

 

[MysteriousDisciple]

I'd say out of them all, I have the most hours logged on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark... endless amounts of fun playing multiplayer with friends!

 

[serephim02]

Man Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were like the best games on the N64 and DKc for snes rocked! but I havent seen any of there newer releases...BTW I still pull the ol' N64 and dust it off just to play GE and PD but the whole expansion pack thing was kinda annoying..

 

[MysteriousDisciple]

Good times... still play those games too when I have time too, which is not a whole lot, but you just feel like going back sometimes. I would love an updated Graphics version of GE and PD on the newer consoles... I wouldn't even bother with newer games haha... smooth framerate and whatnot... that would own.
