Huge interview/coverage of Rare and its history in Retro Gamer

The December 2010 issue of UK magazine Retro Gamer featured Rare on its covered and included a full 15-page-long interview with four of its members (sorry, the Stampers aren't any of them). If anybody wants a copy of the section to look at in which to expand and cleanup the article, let me know, and I can work a way towards providing you one. –MuZemike 01:56, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also have an interview (and brief history) of Rare and the Stampers in Nintendo Power's September-October 1988 issue if anybody is interested. –MuZemike 21:55, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rare

We should write: Rare, Ltd. (1984-2010) is a British video game [...]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walecs (talk • contribs) 09:17, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About renaming the article to Rare, Ltd.

I will intend to improve this article heavily, but first and foremost, I think the article's name should be changed to Rare, Ltd. I know this was already mentioned before but the current title is unclear and contradictory with the way the article begins ("Rare, Ltd. is a British..."). I suggest we move the article to Rare, Ltd. and then start the article like this: Rare, Ltd. (also known as Rareware or simply as Rare) is a British... <--Niwi3 (talk) 18:57, 08 March 2011 (CET)

Good idea. Drop the comma though, it should be Rare Ltd.. Miremare 18:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I will move it right now. <--Niwi3 (talk) 11:14, 09 March 2011 (CET)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Just don't ask me to do it again - there are fifteen different variants on the name that redirect here, that must be some kind of record! JohnCD (talk) 19:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rare (company) → Rare Ltd. — The name Rare Ltd. is used in most video games websites and magazines, and it is much more specific about the topic. --Niwi3 (talk) 11:22, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me. The formal name is shorter than the parenthesis! —Tamfang (talk) 18:29, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I miss the old Conker and Banjo

I want Nintendo to bring Rare back! Microsoft makes Rare make stupid games now!(99.114.169.92 (talk) 01:26, 3 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]
