Dinosaur Planet: Inside Rare's Cancelled Zelda Clone

Описание: In 1994, Nintendo would buy a majority stake in British developer Rareware. On the Nintendo 64 the team would develop Dinosaur Planet, an Ocarina of Time-inspired adventure game with two protagonists, Sabre and Krystal. At Nintendo's request the game was reworked into Star Fox Adventures, and shortly after release Rare would be sold to Microsoft effectively ending their golden-age and one of gaming's most important partnerships.

NOTE: A clip was removed at 16:44 regarding a false claim by a Rare developer that DK64 included the expansion pack because of a game-breaking bug.
