Across its four decades of excellence, Rare has established itself as one of the most iconic names in video game development. Undercover shooters, merciless fighters, ursine platformers, swashbuckling treasure hunts…if you can dream it, Rare’s probably made it, with all the commitment to quality and whimsy that only a studio of their caliber could muster.
At iam8bit, they stand in awe of their impressive pedigree. They've had the pleasure of working with their friends at Rare on several projects over the past several years, but they're humbled to present this pièce de résistance, a true celebration of Rare and their impact on gaming as a hobby, an art form, and a world of endless possibilities.
This is the Rare 40th Anniversary Box Set 4xLP. Within its finely-constructed grooves, you’ll find an assortment of sweet-sounding tracks from a slew of incredible musicians and composers: David Wise, Grant Kirkhope, Robin Beanland, Mark Waithe, Akil the MC, David Clynick, Alistair Lindsay, Jamie Hughes, Graeme Norgate, and Steven Burke, they’re all here.
And those aforementioned grooves? They’re pressed on 4 Shades of Rareware Gold and Blue vinyl, a nod to the color of the legendary studio’s ever-evolving logo through the decades. It’s our way of calling back to those nostalgic boot-up screens we all remember so fondly.
Now - Let’s talk album artwork, because this one’s a certified doozy. iam8bit collaborated with the amazing Lewy Jones to create a collage of Rare’s unforgettable heroes, villains, and goofballs, bursting with hidden secrets only the sharpest of eagle-eyed fans will be able to find. Likewise, each sleeve is adorned with a collage of Rare icons and legends, from talking piñatas to great and mighty poos and more.
The whole package comes wrapped in a premium full-cover box set, ensuring it’ll all but demand to take center stage in your vinyl collection.
This box set is a Rare delicacy, a true celebration of one of gaming’s most historically important studios. Treat yourself to this momentous musical legacy.
