Spiral Mountain - Banjo-Kazooie

Also, happy 20th Anniversary to one of the greatest games of all time: Banjo-Kazooie. Hopefully Rare will fucking get their act together and make a new one someday. Anyway, I think most will agree that song should be played if you need a pick me up. It makes you happy.

Banjo-Kazooie Boxart (North America)
Who would've thought an adventure game starring a honey bear with his red bird friend in his backpack as they venture to many worlds to stop an evil witch while collecting music notes and jigsaw puzzle pieces would become one of the greatest video games of all time? To Rare's credit, they did when they launched Banjo-Kazooie on June 29, 1998 on the Nintendo 64. To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary to one of video game's great masterpieces, we'll take a look at the original game as well as the history leading up to it, and the aftermath as the game's success would spawn a series.
