Rare co-founder Tim Stamper has been digging into his archive again of late, promising to reveal “more secrets” from the studio’s vault, and his latest helping of retro treasure comes in the form of new footage from Rare’s cancelled N64 game, Dream.
Announced back in 1995, Dream was to be Rare’s take on the role-playing genre, with a dash of LucasArts thrown in, following the fairy-tale-inspired adventures of a boy named Edson as he battled the nefarious Captain Blackeye and his band of pirates.
Originally planned for release on the SNES, Dream was later retooled for the N64, switching from isometric visuals to more ambitious full 3D. As time went on, however, technical issues and several rethinks caused some dramatic changes in direction, with Edson eventually being dropped in favour of new protagonist Banjo and the original RPG elements making way for a more straightforward Donkey Kong Country-esque platformer.
