But more specifically for me, since I was born late in 1997;

For those of you born 1987+, what is the RareWare/Rare game of YOUR birthyear?

Or, if you were born 1983-1986, you could also list an Ultimate Play The Game game, since that was what Rare was originally.

Doesn't seem necessary since he probably doesn't care or seen this thread.

Criminally underrated game. One of my favourite games of the 7th Gen, I almost got a 100% completion rate on it.  :D

Yeah and I'm saying that as a huge fan of the original Banjo-Kazooie games. People were expecting a Banjo-Threeie and comparing it to their expectations. I got the game in 2011 or so, so I knew what I was in for but it completely blew away my expectations. I wish we got more creative and innovative games like this more often.

Why though? Are you SkittlesCat?

This seems very random. Hmmm... http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/jbhmmm.png

Not to mention SkittlesCat was more than likely lying about his age.

Slalom, which was the NES version of the first game ever made by Rare. Also, Wizards and Warriors for the NES. These games are so old I've never played either of them.

What are some of your guy's favorite Rare Games? For me, my top 3 Rare games of all time are Donkey Kong Country 2, GoldenEye, and Banjo Tooie.

My top 3;

1. Donkey Kong Country 2
Achieved 2D Platforming perfection, was the best sidescroller of all time for 18 years, until Rayman Legends came out.

2. Banjo Kazooie
Vibrant, colorful, great music, great levels, and it still holds up today, this is probably the second best aged game on the N64, after Paper Mario.

3. Killer Instinct
Achieved fighting game perfection, much better than any Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter game for me.

As for the others, I also like the other DKC games.
Conker's Bad Fur Day is also great, we need more edgy mature platformers like that.
Diddy Kong Racing is fun, but damn is it challenging, especially once you get to the Silver Coin Challenges.
Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Tooie are good, but the backtracking in those games can get atrocious, and the former does suffer framerate issues.
GoldenEye and Perfect Dark haven't aged very well, in fact the former ranked first on Watchmojo's list of games that didn't age well.

2004

There was a GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 2

Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Donkey Kong 64 and Kinect Sports GoldenEye 007.

The only RareWare game I've played is Banjo Kazooie. I'd totally get the Rare Replay if a had an Xbox One.
