Rare Replay Part VII

Well there you go, that was yer’ actual Rare Replay collection. What a long read (and write) that was, but I enjoyed playing and writing.

So here in part VII, I’d like to do a round-up and look at each game and give my view on how they play today. As well as talk about the Rare Replay as a whole product and ask: “is it worth it?”

RR banner

First off, I’s like to address a few problems the collection has.

1)Missing games.
Now I know some games are missing due to licencing issues, no Goldeneye as Rare no longer have the rights to James Bond, no Donkey Kong Country as Donkey Kong belongs to Nintendo, etc.
But what about the missing Sabreman games? Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde and Knight Lore are here…but no Pentagram or Mire Mare? Now I know Mire Mare was never released, but Rare (then Ultimate) have said the game was 100% completed and an employee at Rare has even said they had played it. There’s not even a mention of it in the featurette that covers scraped/unrealised games.
What about Killer Instinct? Only Killer Instinct Gold is included in this collection, No Killer Instinct (the original) or Killer Instinct 2?
Plus only Battletoads (NES) and Battletoads (Arcade) are present, Battletoads (Gamyboy) is not here, nor is Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, or any of the other Battletoads games.
Now I know Ultimate/Rare have around 150 games to their name, so yeah obviously they were never going to include all 150…even without licence problems. But it seems strange they only include a few games from a series instead of all of them.
Still, Rare Replay 2 I guess…

2) No remastering/originals/tweaking.
I know that Perfect Dark is the 360 version and not the original N64 one. But Conker’s Bad Fur Day is the original N64 version and not the remastered one. Pretty much all of the N64 era games seem to have at least been up-scaled or are the 360 remasters, but not all of them and it just seems a bit “uneven” overall.
Plus it would have been nice to have also included the original versions of the remasters for “purists” too.
But then there is the exact opposite problem with some of the older games, Knight Lore, for example suffers from some terrible slow down and it ruins the game. I can’t believe I’m playing on a cutting edge Xbox One and Knight Lore (a 30 year old game) suffers slowdown. Surely they could have tweaked and improved the performance of some of the older games to help them run smoother too.

3) Locked content.
I don’t mind unlockables in games…as long as they are done right. One of the reasons I really wanted this collection (other than the games) is for the behind the scenes stuff, the documentaries, the unreleased concept art, the cancelled game coverage, etc. There is loads of this kind of stuff on the Rare Reply disc…but it’s all locked and you have to earn stamps by playing the games to unlock them.
It’s just annoying, I want to watch some of this stuff but can’t until I earn stamps by killing 1500 aliens in Jetpack? Personally I don’t mind having to kill 1500 enemies in Jetpack as I enjoyed playing the game and will most probably do that anyway. But what about people that want to watch the documentaries, but do not want to grind through the games unlocking stamps?
Even more so, you can’t choose what you want to unlock. Content just unlocks automatically in a pre-set order. So you want to watch the making of Conker’s Bad Fur Day video? Well you can’t unless you unlock every other video before it first by grinding for stamps.
The video content, documentaries, etc should have been unlocked from the start for everyone to watch.

Those are my main niggles and they are only niggles onto what the collection does right.

1) Presentation.
The overall presentation is really well done. The idea of having everything happen in a theatre giving you the impression you are going to watch a show is pulled off convincingly. The transitions from menu to game to sub-menus is seamless thanks to the inclusion of vaudeville style posters of the games and characters.
Navigating the menus is also smooth and effortless, with 30 games, info on each game, a menu for each individual game too, a separate challenge sub-menu, a video section for the documentaries, etc. It would be easy to get lost in everything this collection has to offer, but the navigation has been implemented so well you wouldn’t believe how much content is on this disc.
You can go to a game, press A and be taken to another sub-menu for a particular game with all sorts of information, history of the game and so on. Then from this sub-menu you can explore screenshots and handy game hints, look at and adjust various in-game options, go to a help screen with tons of info that will pop up in a sidebar while you play, etc. Or you can just press Y from the main game screen to just go straight into the game. Tap the shoulder button to switch the the next game and so on. Its all just so well designed you never get lost in the huge amount of content the disc has to offer.
You can even press the right stick on the older games to change the screen to a classic CRT display and remember the good old days of low quality visuals, a nice little touch.

2) It’s strong collection of games.
There are plenty of game collections out there and sadly most of them contain 2/3 good games and the reset is pretty bad filler. Rare Replay is definitely not one of those, as a Ultimate fan back in the 80s and a Rare fan in the 90s, this collection really gave me a lot of enjoyment and still has a ton of enjoyment to go yet. I was even surprised at how playable even the very early stuff like Jetpack and Sabre Wulf still were today…aside form some of the afore mentioned slowdown.

3) The Price.
I managed to get my copy for just £15, that works out at 50p a game. For me, this is amazing value for money as there is so much content here. Even discounting the games themselves, there are the videos and documentaries, the history of each game, the individual snapshot challenges, etc. Really one of the most packed and worthy classic game collections out there by far.

RR

So, about the games themselves then and did I find them playable today?

Jetpac: Its a simple game from a simpler time. Yet I still found myself just wanting to play “one more game” to try and beat my high score. The game-play maybe simple, but it’s still very playable.

Lunar Jetman: Took the basics of Jetpac and added so much more to it. Has very similar game mechanics as the arcade classic Defender, but with a few interesting tweaks and additions.

Atic Attack: You know, I really thought when I got hold of this collection that I’d see my childhood memories distorted and clouded. I honestly thought I’d play these games and realise they are crap. Well this game right here proved me wrong. One of the all time Spectrum classics that is still playable and fun today.

Sabre Wulf: I popped this one on thinking I’d give it 10 minutes and be bored…3 hours later and I was still exploring the jungle trying to avoid that sneaky wulf. I never finished it as a kid, but I intend on finishing it now.

Underwurlde: This was a game I used to play a lot back in the day and while I found it really frustrating today with the way the enemies bump you around, I have to admit to still finding this one’s has a lot of charm and gets you interested in exploring the castle.

Knight Lore: Great little puzzle/adventure game with plenty to do…just a shame about that damn slowdown that really spoils the game.

Gunfright: I didn’t really play this one back in the day and only glossed over it for this retrospective. But I have to admit to liking what I did see on the small amount of time I played it for. This is one I’m looking forward to playing more of soon.

Slalom: Didn’t really enjoy this one. It was too “simple” and just lacked that quality acotioated with the Rare name. It just seemed like a lazy game with not much to it at all.

R.C. Pro-Am: This was a tough one as it really didn’t do anything wrong, but it also does not excel at anything either. Its a fairly middle of the road racing game that just does what it does.

Cobra Triangle: Action packed and plenty of variety. This was a great little game and a return to form for Rare. Definitely one I’ll be playing more of later.

Snake Rattle ‘n’Roll: A classic then and still holds up very well today. A great little two player games with plenty of fun even if you are playing alone.

Solar Jetman: Tough game indeed, but tough does not mean bad. This was a poor seller when originally realised, but I think that was because it was ahead if its time and people were just not ready for it. This is another game I can see myself playing more of.

Digger T. Rock: I’m not sure what to make of his one yet. It seemed a little too “simple” and not really much meat to the game at all. But I’ll spend a little more time with it and see if it gets any better.

Battletoads: Often said to be one of the hardest games ever for the NES. Yes it is hard, but it’s also damn good fun with a great sense of humor and plenty of variety along the way. Yup, I’ll be getting some game play our of this one.

R.C. Pro-Am II: For me, a vast improvement over the first game. Smoother controls with more added to the game overall. I’d chose this one over the original.

Battletoads Arcade: Mindless button bashing fun. Much more bloody and violent than its NES counterpart. Its not a deep or meaningful game, its just fun. But with it being an arcade game, it is designed with a high difficulty curve as to eating all your spare change. Still at least with this version you are not paying to play.

Killer Instinct Gold: Never was a fan of the Killer Instinct franchise to be honest. This game plays well enough and seems like a perfect version if the game…but its just not for me at all.

Blast Corps: One of the overlooked classics from the N64. A simple enough game where all you have to do is clear a path for a constantly moving and runaway explosive device. Simple yes, but also hugely addictive and inventive. Of all the games on the collection, this was the main one I was looking forward to.

Banjo-Kazooie: After the release of the seminal Mario 64 for the N64 that showed the world how great a 3D platformer could be. Many, many developers tried to follow suit and most of them failed. Rare was one of the few that could put together a great 3D platformer and this was one of their best.

Jet Force Gemini: Another one I never really played back then. But I had heard this was a great game. I only played for about an hour to write this article and found the game rather slow. But I plan on going back and spending more time with this one.

Perfect Dark: its Perfect Dark…nuff said.

Banjo-Tooie: More of the same, only improved in every way. One of the best 3D platformer games around and age has not done it any harm either.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day: Probably the most infamous game in the collection. A classic Rare 3D platformer for an more adult audience, a great game and holds up very well.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies: This is one I also originally missed and only quickly glossed over it for this article. But it looked pretty interesting and I can see myself playing through this one.

Kameo: I did play this one on the Xbox 360 a while back but never did finish it. Glad it’s been included here as its a good action/adventure game and I definitely want to play through to the end this time.

Perfect Dark Zero: A downgrade to the original if you ask me, but still a pretty decent FPS with plenty of variety. I can see myself playing this one again.

Viva Piñata: Never played this one originally, but I like the look of it. I’m not sure I have the time to invest to see everything the game has to offer. But I think it’ll be great to dip into it for a little more play time.

Jetpac Refuelled: I really like the original Jetpack and this one improved on it in every possible way. A quick arcade style game with a simple concept, but a great game none the less.

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise: See my Viva Piñata comment above.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts: This one passed me by originally to. I enjoyed the first two games and I’ll definitely be giving this one more of a play in the future.

RR logos

So there you go, 30 Ultimate/Rare games from over a 30 year career.
But is the whole package any good?

Yes, a thousand times yes.
This really is an amazing collection of great (and a few not so great) games from one of the best and fan favourite games developers of all time.

Even with the games aside, this is still an interesting and in depth history lesson. The video content, documentaries, behind the scenes stuff is worth the £15 price tag alone for me.
The games are an added bonus.

But this collection is really worth getting as there are some simply amazing games included. Many people have been saying the price is with it for Conker’s Bad Fur Day alone…yup, it pretty much is.
If you are an old school gamer like myself and we’re also a fan of Ultimate and Rare, then this is a must buy, go and get it now.

The collection works as a great reminder of “the good old days”,it also works as a nice history lesson and insight to one of the gaming world’s best developers.

Best thing I’ve brought for my Xbox One…wait, I pre-ordered Fallout 4 yesterday.
Best thing I’ve brought for my Xbox One…until November 11th.

Thanks for joining me on this look at the entire Rare Replay collection.
Feel free to read my look at Ultimate/Rare as a developer while you are here.

Rare Replay Part I

Well it’s finally here, landed on the carpet via my letterbox this morning.

Cover

So following on from my Ultimate/Rare retrospective a few weeks back, where I said I’d cover all 30 games in this collection, and yes, I will be playing all 30 games too.

I guess I’d better get started…
30 games, 5 games per page. So a 6 part look at the Rare Reply game collection with a 7th part where I’ll cover the collection as a whole and offer my personal views and ask is it worth it?
You can read through all 6 parts as I look at all the games on the collection, or just “skip to the end” to the 7th and final part where I do a brief round up.

Well lets begin with Ultimate’s first ever game…

Jetpack

Jetpack: Released in 1983 by Ultimate: Play The Game for the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20. It was later ported to the BBC Micro. Written by Chris Stamper and designed by Tim Stamper.
This was the first game in what would later be known as the Jetman series.

With you playing as a test pilot only known as “Jetman” who works for The Acme Interstellar Transport Company, delivering spaceship kits to various planets.

You are tasked into collecting and assembling parts of a spaceship and it’s fuel via the use of your trusty Jetpack in order to move onto the next location.
Each level filled with alien enemies to blast and loot to collect from jewels to gold, all to help bump up your high-score.

Jetpack was/is a simple game…but they all were back then, with all the action taking place on a single screen. However, it still offers a fun and fair challenge that’ll leave you wanting to beat your high-score.
The game was very well received upon original release and even won “Game of the Year” at the Golden Joystick Awards in 1983.

JP

Next from Ultimate was Jetpack’s first sequel.

LJM

Lunar Jetman: Released for the ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro in 1983 by Ultimate: Play The Game and again written by Chris Stamper and designed by Tim Stamper.

Jetman returns as the playable character. With Jetman’s poorly constructed rocket (from the last game) falling apart, he crash lands on a previously undiscovered world, which is inhabited by aliens that intend to destroy Earth.
Jetman must destroy the alien instillation signals to prevent the destruction of Earth.
This time Jetman is equipped with his trusty Jetpack once more but also with a Hyperglide Moon Rover which he can use to gather equipment and supplies to help him in his mission.

Using the same basic game-play mechanics from Jetpack, but now being able to scroll left and right. You can move around on the ground via foot, or take to the air (or space) with your jetpack. However, unlike the previous game, your jetpack now has a fuel gauge. You can also hop into the Hyperglide Moon Rover to traverse the terrain. Yet the rover can only navigate smooth surfaces, so any craters you encounter (which the aliens can create themselves) will need to be fixed by Jetman. The rover can also be used to refuel your jetpack.

The rover can also carry other items such as bombs which you use to destroy the alien bases, a cannon used to shoot down those annoying aliens and finally there is also the teleporter, which can be used for rapid transport around the planet.

Lunar Jetman took the basis concept of Jetpack and added a lot more variety and even a level of strategy. Where as the previous game was just about getting a high-score, Lunar Jetman added objectives and other tweaks to give the game an overall deeper concept.

The game again met with high critical praise upon release and Lunar Jetman was the only game to knock Jetpack off the top of the charts.

LJM

Ultimate’s next game is an all time classic.

AA

Atic Attack: The 3rd game relased by Ultimate: Play The Game hit the shops in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum, with once again, Tim and Chris Stamper being the creative force behind the game.

The game is set in a haunted castle and allows you to play as one of three characters. Choose from either a Knight, Wizard or Serf. Each character not only looked different, but they also had access to a secret passage unique and different for each character. Meaning that you could explore the castle differently dependent on which character you selected.

You are tasked into collecting the “Golden Key of ACG” of which several parts are hidden within the castle and use the key to escape. Along the way you’ll also find other items such as; colour coded keys to unlock doors, food items, etc. But there were also red herring items that might look intriguing, but did nothing.
As you could only carry three items at any one time, selecting what to carry and what not to carry became a bit of a puzzle in itself.

The game had a simple premise, but offered a lot of replay value as items would randomly generate each time you played, coupled with the three different characters meant that even though the castle layout itself never changed, you still could play a “different” game each time.

Atic Attack was (again) universally praised when released. Computer and Video Games said it was “the best yet from Ultimate”, while Sinclair User said that “the depth of plot and the graphics make it a superb game.”
The game was even a major inspiration for the classic Children’s TV show Knightmare.

Atic Attack was Ultimate’s third consecutive number one in the UK Spectrum sales chart.

AA

Their next game would go on to become fondly remembered as one of the all time greats.

SW

Sabre Wulf: Just typing the title put a smile on my face. This one was relased in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum by Ultimate Play The Game, with the Stamper brothers yet again being the writer/developers. The game is the first in the Sabreman series.

Playing as Sabreman you must navigate a huge (for the time) jungle maze of 256 screens and recover four pieces of a lost amulet. All while using your sabre to fend off the many foes you’ll find in the jungle such as scorpions, snakes and spiders, hippos and rhinos.
Right at the very bottom of the map is the Wulf’s territory, as the Wulf is not affected by your sabre, you need to avoid it…but seeing as most of the loot and the best way traverse the jungle is via the Wulf’s territory, it’s hard to stay away.

While you go on your adventure to find the pieces of the lost amulet, you’ll stumble upon various other items to collect along the way. Treasure for bonus points, jungle orchids that when touched will affect Sabreman in various ways.

The game map was really very big at the time and offered a good amount of exploration, the graphics were bright and colourful and really did give a jungle vibe.

Sabre Wulf (as with the other games…again) met with favourable reviews and high praise. The game became a best-seller on the ZX Spectrum. The game won the awards for best maze game and best advert of the year as well as being voted the 11th best game of all time by the readers of Retro Gamer Magazine.

The game really is a great little title, it’s offers nothing complex other than exploration. But it’s very rewarding and each time you play you advance just that little bit further.

SW

The final game in part I of this retrospective is the first sequel to Sabre Wulf.

U

Underwurlde: Hey, they misspelt “wolf” in the last game, so why not the same with “world” too? This game carried on with the adventures of Sabreman and was relased for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 by Ultimate Play The Game in 1984.

Once again taking on the role of Sabreman, with you now working around an even bigger maze of 597 screens that depict a castle and a system of caverns beneath it. Sabreman must escape the castle via one of three exits, each of the three exits actually being the next game(s) in the series.
Three different guardians…well, guard the three exits and each guardian is vulnerable to a different weapon. The location of the three weapons is hidden somewhere within the castle and caverns, leading to a lot of exploration.

Sabreman, no longer using is trademark sabre must navigate the maze while being attacked by various monsters. You can find various weapons to help along the way, starting with the basic slingshot. Unlike the previous game, contact with enemies does not cause damage, instead Sabreman is knocked backwards causing fatal falls by knocking you off the various platforms. Although Sabreman is tough enough to survive short drops, the maze is full of chasms deep enough for a lethal fall. You needed to down down these chasms to find items and the exit, so exploring them was a must…but getting down them could be troublesome. There were various ways to make it down a chasm without dying, one being jumping between the various platforms or even using ropes you would attach to the top so you could descend. Neither of them were “easy” due to the many enemies constantly harassing you.

Underwurlde was a welcome return for Sabreman and mixed things up enough from the last game to keep things fresh and interesting.
While not as successful as Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde still met with its own success. The ZX Spectrum version was number 18 in the Your Sinclair Top 100 Speccy Games.

U

Well, that about wraps up part I. But I’ll see you in Part II where we will catch up with Sabreman in his next adventure.

The Ultimate, Rare developer.

Growing up in the 80s and being a gamer, there are many games that instantly spring to mind…

Jetpac, Atic Atac, Lunar Jetman, Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde and Knight Lore are just a handful of games I fondly remember.
Great “old school” games and all made by one specific developer.
Ultimate: Play The Game.

U logo

I adored many of these games and this was also probably my first recollection of knowing the developer through their games instead of just knowing the games.
I recall often looking for that Ultimate logo and genuinely getting excited to play their next title.

Ultimate became infamous for their fan friendly approach and would often give away merchandise for free to anyone that wanted it, all they had to do was ask.

Ultimate were unstoppable in the early 80s and would go from strength to strength. But before I get too far ahead of myself, let’s just look back on Ultimate and their influence in the 80s.

Founded in 1982 by brothers Tim and Chris Stamper who were ex-arcade game developers. Most of their games were made for the big computers of the time like the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, MSX and Commodore 64.
The Ultimate name became synonymous with quality and many of their games were quite revolutionary.

In 1985, the Stamper brothers sold the Ultimate name and back catalogue to game publisher and developer; U.S Gold. This was a darker time for Ultimate as the game’s quality was dropping and they would often overuse the same gaming concepts over and over. The high standard and quality just was not there anymore.

In some of the later Ultimate games, you would often find the name Rare Ltd. appearing in the credits. Rare Ltd. was another company Tim and Chris Stamper had set up to develop for under the Ultimate name, but not be subject to any Ultimate takeover. Meaning that even with the Ultimate name being sold to U.S Gold, the Stamper brothers had another company of their own to fall back on and using the Rare Ltd name, they started one of the most successful partnerships in gaming history…

Rare LTD

Rare Ltd began developing games for Nintendo’s NES system and released their first title for the NES, Slalom in 1987. Teaming up with Nintendo proved to be a great success and would span 3 generations of gaming consoles.

Rare Ltd. would continue developing for the NES and even produce Gameboy ports with games like; Wizards & Warriors, R.C. Pro-Am, Captain Skyhawk, Snake Rattle ‘n’ Roll and Battletoads.

Then in 1989, Rare Ltd. bought back all the rights previously sold to U.S. Gold.
With the release of Nintendo’s SNES, Rare Ltd. cut back on their development for the machine initially and only produced a few Battletoads games. But they were not busy developing for the SNES as Rare Ltd. invested their profits made from the NES era into purchasing expensive Silicon Graphics (SGI) workstations.
Rare Ltd. impressed Nintendo with their progress of 3D graphics on the SGI systems and in 1994, Nintendo bought a 49% stake in the company which turned Rare Ltd. into a Nintendo second-party developer.
At this time, Rare Ltd. had another alteration.

Rareware

Now developing under the name Rareware.
By this time, Rareware had such a strong relationship with Nintendo that Nintendo readily offered up any of their existing IPs for Rareware to make a whole new game on. The Stamper brothers asked for Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Country is what we got. The game showcased Rare’s 3D graphics advancements thanks to those SCI workstations and went on to become a huge success, in fact Donkey Kong Country became the second best selling SNES game of all time.
Donkey Kong Country spawned two sequels and various spin offs.

But Rareware did not just stick to Nintendo’s machines and in the late 90’s they developed a CGI based beat em’ up; Killer Instinct for arcades.

Soon after the release of Killer Instinct, Nintendo relased their next home console, the N64.

Rareware would continue the successful partnership with Nintendo on this machine too with; GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Blast Corps and even build on their Donkey Kong games with Donkey Kong 64.
Rareware also made a spiritual successor to GoldenEye 007 with Perfect Dark as well as release sequel Banjo-Tooie.
Rareware and the N64 was a perfect match…but it was not to last.

As they year 2000 began, Microsoft visited Rareware and eventually paid $375 million to own 100% of the company which became a first party developer for Microsoft and another new name and logo.

Rare

Now just called Rare and releasing their first game for Microsoft’s Xbox in 2003; Grabbed by the Ghoulies. In many fan’s eyes…this was the start of the decline of one of our favorite game developers.

Rare’s relationship with Microsoft just was not as successful as it was with Nintendo previously. Releasing remake; Conker: Live & Reloaded for the Xbox along with launch games for the Xbox 360; Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero and Viva Piñata relased a year later. These games were just not up to standard and met with fairly low sales.

By the end of 2009, Microsoft “restructured” Rare and they started to develop games for the Xbox 360’s Kinect, with their first game being; Kinect Sports and later the sequel; Kinect Sports Rivals.
Under Microsoft, Rare had been put on the back burner and have become a shadow of their former self.

Nowadays, Rare “rarely” develop games anymore, but they do have a new title called; Sea of Thieves for the Xbox One which has yet to have a release date.
Can this be the game that gets Rare back on form? We will have to wait and see.

But before then, there is something coming from Rare very soon…
August this year sees the release of this.
