Developer based in Twycross, England. Although they were popular in the early 80s as Ultimate (or Ultimate Play the Game), their true claim to fame was the massively popular Donkey Kong Country series. They are also often credited for being largely responsible for the Nintendo 64's success, by being a 2nd party to Nintendo, and developing N64 classics like Banjo-Kazooie, GoldenEye 007 and Jet Force Gemini. In late 2002, the Stamper Brothers sold their shares of Rare to Microsoft, which then prompted Nintendo to do the same.
Since being bought by Microsoft, Rare has released few games, none of which has had the success of their Nintendo 64 efforts, until the release of the remake, Conker: Live and Reloaded.
