  3. I really enjoyed this video, but people from the UK are going to immediately stop the video and never come back if you don’t learn how to pronounce “ZX Spectrum”.

  4. I remember how crushed I felt after reading about the buyout in Game Informer as a kid. And I felt like things went downhill in the years to come. But as an adult I realize that it wasn’t downhill, just up a different hill (on a console that I didn’t have lol). And I believe part of Rare’s massive success in the 90’s was a product of its time; being proficient in 3D visuals, programming and having composers who knew their way around sound chips propelled them to the front on the cusp of huge technological shift. If you look at the leaked build of Dinosaur Planet for N64 you’ll see just how much they could push the limits of the hardware. Most 3D felt impressive back then cause they were new, but lots of those 3D games failed to master the art of “good game-feel” like Rare did.

  5. This video came up in my recommended and I'm glad it did. I loved them from the Donkey Kong Country series and when I saw the release of Sea of Thieves being announced, I was very eager to play it and is probably one of my most played games ever while the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy are one of my favorite games of all time. Rare is my childhood and Rare is my today, I hope it'll be my future too (Everwild looks amazing)
