Hey folks, please support for a good cause www.instagram.com/reel/DE7mVMu...

Happy New Year everyone. It’s funny but this time a quarter of a century ago people were fearful of the possible consequences of the Y2K bug, social media wasn’t a thing and you had to take roles of film to a shop to get your 24/36 pictures. Good luck with the next 25

Going from a playable demo that i knocked out in a few hours in 1999 to it’s final “release” 5yrs later (with other stuff happening in between) was tortuous but I’m glad we did it. Rare; bringing the world games it doesn’t have. The folks who worked on this are very proud of it. Happy Birthday Pants

Happy holidays, whoever's seeing this! Hope you're closing the year out in style and, as it's the day of fine gifts and finer food, here's our offering - a delicious png for you to enjoy! Right, we're off to eat a Patagotitan's hypothesised weight in sweets. 'Til 2025!

Go for it folks. I did my best here but it’s getting harder to recall stuff we did a long time ago. Retro Gamer is a great mag so please go and support

Hi, I'm Kev Bayliss. You don't know me, but you probably DO know... #DonkeyKongCountry #DiddyKongRacing #StarfoxAdventures #KillerInstinct, #Battletoads. I've been a video game artist & voice actor since 1987s creating DONKEY KONG, DIDDY KONG, PRINCE TRICKY, JAGO, WIZPIG & more! NICE to MEET YOU!

Some of the good & great send Batman off with donuts

It’s #RareHenge on a sunny day. I haven’t tried to have meetings and sit on these cold stone things for any length of time yet

So now that I’m in a bluer place, and despite being a bit useless on social media generally in terms of engagement, I’m going to attempt at having a go at the tricky subject of “how to enter the video games industry as a teenager in the 1980s”. Anyone interested?

A bit more sunny @rare.co.uk lunchtime action yesterday

Lovely chilly lunchtime walk at Rare yesterday in between meetings. Great to see the team and plan some things for the future

Sunny snowless scenes @rare.co.uk this morning
