The other thing that is great about Rare besides the fact that they make great games, is that they are based here in the UK! This means the we get their great games earlier than the rest of the world! Poor Japan had to wait over a year before Perfect Dark was released over there! & then they didnt even like it that much! Their should be more companies based over here so that we can get our games quicker instead of waiting months after the USA has had them!

There are quite a lot of developers in the UK, but most of the mass markets are over seas, so most games get released there. Also, to make a game for something like the N64, you have to send a copy of your game off to someone like Nintendo who then put it on millions of carts for you. Therefor the game usually ends up getting finished over seas, so the game then gets released there first!

True, but we still get them quicker than most other companies games! The only reason Conker might not of been introduced over here is because of the 'adult' content that the Americans moaned about! And there is more chance of it being released over here because it is made by a British company (with British humor)

Our survey says EH ER.

WRONG America got their hands on Conker and Banjo months before us, it was also likely at the time that Conker wouldn't even get a UK release.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
