#003 - What happened to Rare?

from Almost Single

We go down memory lane and talk about how much the games from Rare's golden era has meant to video games, and us personally. Was being acquired by Microsoft in 2002 the key event or could the reason for the fall of this game developer giant be found elsewhere? We can't promise any definitive answers to either of those questions, but hope our nostalgic talk can trigger you to brush the dust off that old N64 and invite your friends over for a competitive round of GoldenEye, or Perfect Dark.. or Diddy Kong Racing!In the second part anger runs high as we present our top three games we regret buying. With some rather controversial choices and opinions, we hope that this will push our listeners to send us some feedback, or leave a rating. Although it's most likely to be death threats and 1 stars after this episode!If you enjoyed this episode please leave a rating, and if you have any questions, comments or feedback reach out to us on [email protected] or on our Facebook page facebook.com/AlmostSinglePodcast Hosted on Acast.
