BC Games

by Lerako on Dec 14th, 2013

Conceived as an early prototype for the Nintendo Entertainment System, BC Games was created by brothers Dave and Bob Thomas, a programmer and artist respectively. The title would have seen players competing in a 'Stone Age Olympics' facing off in a number of varied events indicative of the era, including comical Dinosaur Racing. BC Games, along with several other unnamed demos created would have been completed over the span of 18 months for appeal to Nintendo. Unfortunately, they never received a green light from internal Rare staff, leaving this prehistoric adventure squarely in the past.

Crackdown 2

by Lerako on Nov 7th, 2013

Developed internally by the Kameo: Elements of Power staff in 2008, Crackdown 2 served as the direct sequel to the original Crackdown title produced by Realtime Worlds. While a dedicated team at Rare had begun work on Crackdown 2, the title and intellectual property was eventually given to Ruffian Games to complete, where it released in 2010. While Rare's efforts in the production were never realized, they do share an interesting link to Ruffian Games, where save data from Crackdown 2 is used to unlock the protagonist as a playable multiplayer character in Perfect Dark XBLA.

Black Widow

by Lerako on Nov 7th, 2013

Mechanical spiders, alien invasions and an appropriately unsettling musical score by composer, Steve Burke - that much is certain with Black Widow; an abandoned first-person shooter with a clever jump-and-gun mechanic developed in part by programmer, Phil Tossell. Originally planned for release on the Xbox 360, Black Widow sought to appeal to its perceived mature audience. While this arachnid arrangement would hardly come to fruition, elements of Black Widow made further cameo appearances in several prototypes at the time, where it became something of a running gag amongst Rare staff.
