Rare's 1997 Nintendo 64 demolition puzzle game Blast Corps has received a new fan-made PC port built via static recompilation.

Fans of the cult classic are celebrating the unexpected revival of a game Rare has never re-released.

Why now: The surprise release of a modern PC port for a beloved, long-neglected N64 title, with its explicit no-generative-AI stance resonating amid ongoing debates about AI in game development.
