Did they call you up themselves or was it an external agent?

 

[moon]

An agent.. are you going to let me down gently?
I declined anyway..

 

[mwgdrwg]

Find out if they're making a new Perfect Dark, or a proper Banjo Kazooie sequel!

Rare are a top development company. Their 1st game was Jetpac for the ZX Spectrum. Doubt anyone left in there that had their hands on that, was a while ago.

 

[Ax^]

how can you work or have an interest in gaming and not have heard of rare

 

[moon]

Because I only started playing video games last year..

 

[Ax^]

fair play then

buy a n64 on fleabay and play donkey kong and golden eye

Do they head hunt by pulling your head off in an CGI-heavy explosion - how many lives do get?

 

[moon]

No, I think it was a sniper rifle with precision scope, cryo ammo, high-velocity barrel and added Omni-blade, just in case they missed the head shot..

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I declined anyway..

Why did you decline?
I don't even like computer games but I would definitely play them for money

 

[moon]

Because I already have a job that I enjoy..

 

[dervish]

Who's your agent, I'll happily work for lots of money for one day a week!

It's confidential plus they were looking for someone with niche skills, not necessarily related to the gaming industry..

Although there's been a name change and takeover.
