Tradewest

By: SPMAN

    Tradewest was a division of the company now known as RARE. They produced a lot of Arcade Ports and racing games. They are most famous for the game Battletoads, a game that is loved by all (except me). Their game library includes:

Battletoads

Battletoads & Double Dragon

Double Dragon

Fast Break – Magic Johnson

High Speed

Indy Heat

John Elway’s Quarterback

RC Pro Am 2

Solar Jetman

Super Off Road,

Taboo

    All their games were programmed by RARE who also programmed games for other companies like Milton Bradley and Nintendo. RARE is now one of the leading developers in the world creating some of the greatest games on the Nintendo 64 such as Banjo Kazooie and Goldeneye.

Status: Still in business under the name RARE. They are notorious for delaying games years and years after there original release date.

Best Titles: Why people like Battletoads I do not know. Its sequel is fun though. Double Dragon is great, so is RC Pro Am 2. Taboo is...strange. Super Off Road and Indy Heat are fun. Everything else they made is garbage.

Grade: B+

Popularity of games: High

Rarity of the games: Average with Battletoads & Double Dragon, RC Pro Am 2, and Indy Heat being exceptionally rare.

Company Slogan: "Our name Guarantees a great game!"
