Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is a 1998 tactical shooter video game developed and published by Red Storm Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, with later ports for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Mac OS, Game Boy Color, and Dreamcast. It is the first installment in the Rainbow Six series. Based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name, the game follows Rainbow, a secret international counterterrorist organization, and the conspiracy they unravel as they handle a seemingly random spike in terrorism.
Rainbow Six was released on August 21, 1998 to widespread critical acclaim, though the console ports received relatively lower ratings than the PC version. For most releases, praise was directed toward gameplay, multiplayer, immersion, and the game's combination of strategy and action, while criticism mainly centered on AI issues, glitches, and the graphics and controls of some ports. The game sold over 200,000 copies in its first year of release and continued to sell hundreds of thousands more copies well into the early 2000s. Rainbow Six was nominated for numerous accolades and has been deemed one of the best video games of 1998. It is considered a milestone in the history of first-person shooters and made a lasting impact on the then-fledgling tactical shooter genre.[1][2][3][4]
By 1997, the game was very behind on schedule, and the developers began to crunch. Many developers slept in a spare room of the office, Upton's mental health deteriorated to the point that he had a nervous breakdown that prompted company restructuring to reduce his workload, and network programmer Dave Weinstein (hired as part of the aforementioned company restructuring) was once stopped by police on suspicion of driving under the influence due to his severe exhaustion from crunch.[17] Clancy's involvement in development was "minimal", only sending Red Storm an early manuscript of the novel to work plot details into the game (hence why the game's plot features different characters and a slightly different storyline).[16][17] Clancy would insist the developers add features his experts claimed were realistic, such as the fictional heartbeat sensor used in the novel that functions as a radar-like equipment item in-game.[17] In November 1997, the developers realized the game was becoming too demanding, only having single-digit frame rates on high-end devices, so a massive two-month overhaul was ordered.[16] Despite these setbacks, development managed to progress relatively smoothly overall, and a gameplay demonstration at E3 1998 that unintentionally displayed AI teammates rescuing hostages by themselves boosted the game's publicity ahead of release.[16][17]
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six was released for Windows on August 21, 1998 in North America and October 1998 in Europe. The game was published by Red Storm Entertainment in North America and Take-Two Interactive in Europe.[22] The other ports of the game were released gradually over several months between late 1998 and early 2001; the final release of the game, the Dreamcast port, was released on May 9, 2000 in North America and February 2, 2001 in Europe, published by Majesco Entertainment.[23]
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Rainbow Six for "PC Action Game of the Year" during the 2nd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, but it lost to Half-Life.[62] During the following year's awards ceremony, the Mac OS version received a nomination for "Computer Action Game of the Year", but it lost to the Half-Life expansion Half-Life: Opposing Force.[63] Rainbow Six was a finalist for Computer Gaming World's 1998 "Best Action" award, which ultimately went to Battlezone. The editors wrote that Rainbow Six "deftly mixed strategic planning with nail-biting action as it brought the world of counterterrorist operations to life."[64] PC Gamer US named Rainbow Six the best action game of 1998.[65] CNN, in partnership with Games.net, named Rainbow Six one of the "top 25 game downloads of 1998".[66]
In the United States, Rainbow Six's Windows release sold 218,183 copies during 1998, accounting for $8.86 million in revenue that year.[65] The PC version's Gold Edition release sold another 321,340 copies in the United States during 1999, and was the country's 12th best-selling computer game that year.[67] According to Gamasutra, Rainbow Six and Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear together sold 450,000 copies "during the first half of the 2001/2002 fiscal year".[68]

Commercialized in 1998, the Rainbow papaya produced immediate results. Within four years, the genetic improvement had not only stopped the rapid decline of the Hawaii papaya industry, but production actually returned to levels near where they were before the papaya ringspot virus invasion.
Q: When did Hawaii's farmers begin growing Rainbow papaya?
A: Papaya farmers began planting Rainbow papaya in 1998 after a thorough review and approval for food and environmental safety by the U.S. government. Other countries, including Japan, are also finalizing the approval of the Rainbow papaya.
Now, I could have just started with his first book, The Hunt for Red October. But, frankly, its Cold War-era plot sounded a bit dated to me, and besides that, I have a connection to Rainbow Six. It was written in 1998, concurrent with development of a video game by the same name. I played this video game on the N64. It was sophisticated for its day; as it focused more on tactical operational details than more arcade-like FPSes of the day.
We investigated the effects of stress over the final stages of sexual maturation on the reproductive performance of female rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Stress was administered over the period of early vitellogenesis (1.5 mo), late vitellogenesis-final maturation (1.5 mo), or during both periods (3 mo). Each stress treatment and control was triplicated, with eight females in each replicate (n = 24 fish per treatment). The eggs and progeny of each female were kept separate, and observations were made for 4 mo after transfer to rearing tanks. Fish that experienced stress during final maturation and those that were under stress during the whole experiment ovulated on average 2 wk earlier than the control group. In contrast, fish stressed during the period of early vitellogenesis ovulated at the same time as controls. Absolute fecundity and fertilization were not significantly affected in any treatment group, but significant differences in relative fecundity were found. Stress applied early in vitellogenesis resulted in smaller eggs and swim-up fry. No significant differences were found in juvenile weight 8 wk after hatching. Furthermore, we found no differences in survival of the progeny or resistance to the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum. Thus, mild acute stresses applied to rainbow trout females may affect certain reproductive performance parameters such as timing of ovulation and relative fecundity; however, the progeny of such stressed females perform as well as controls with regard to juvenile growth and disease resistance.
As I read, I was a little distracted by the font of the chapter titles and the cloudy rainbow, which in some parts made me forget it was a Rainbow Magic book. When I read, I have a clear mind and don't become critical until the end. Despite the little things, I continued through the whole book and I really enjoyed it. Some parts were a bit 'meh' and one chapter I found gripping. I now claim it as one of my new faves.
Additionally, Mothra Leo, including all of his forms, are given the subtitle Guardian Beast (守護神獣, Shugoshinjū).[2] The 1998 video game Godzilla: Trading Battle also gives both the larva and imago forms of Leo the subtitle Guardian Deity of Greenery (緑の守護神, Midori no Shugojin).
For Rebirth of Mothra 3, two new Rainbow Mothra props were constructed to replace the previous ones. Concept art for the new Rainbow Mothra design gave it various different color schemes and a more streamlined appearance, while the finished prop had more pronounced white fur with the rainbow colors on its wings replaced with a blue and orange color scheme. One prop was accidentally destroyed during filming of the scene where the Primitive Mothras encase Rainbow Mothra in a cocoon. The thinner used to create the Primitive Mothras' silk ignited during filming and set the Rainbow Mothra prop on fire, requiring the filmmakers to retrieve a new prop and film the scene again with it.[10]
Mothra Leo takes on many different forms and appearances over the course of the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy. In his larval form, Leo looks very similar to Mothra's larval form from Godzilla vs. Mothra, however he is lighter in color. After transforming into his imago form, Leo resembles his mother's imago form, but has several distinguishing features. His wings are somewhat more triangular and have different designs and color schemes. His abdomen is more rounded and less defined than Mothra's. Leo also has green eyes, three beads on his forehead, and feather-like antennae, resembling those of a male moth. After transforming into Rainbow Mothra in Rebirth of Mothra 2, Leo's wings change from orange and green in color to all of the colors of the rainbow. As Aqua Mothra, Leo's appearance is more streamlined, and he lacks fur. Leo's wings are replaced with four fins, and he also gains fins on his tail.
