26 Years Ago, Rare Designed a Dinosaur RPG That Actually Became Star Fox Adventures

By the time Star Fox Adventures launched on the GameCube in 2002, it already carried a strange anomaly: it was an action-adventure title in a rail-shooter franchise, developed by a studio that was on the brink of being acquired by Microsoft. But the real surprise is that this title began life as something entirely different. Before Fox McCloud and long before transitioning the game to GameCube, Rare was developing an ambitious dinosaur-themed RPG for the Nintendo 64.
