If you ever get a chance to pick up the console version or download any subsequent versions, it is a must-play title. The unique ideas that were brought together to make this gem are just too good to skip over. Even with the release of follow-up titles, namely Conker: Live and Reloaded on the Xbox almost four years later, nothing has been able to come close to the N64’s original title. A fantastic story line, witty humor, amazing character interactions, fantastic music and sound effects, challenging platforming, high-grade graphics, and formidable enemies.

There just isn’t any likeness in the industry to this game and there might never be again.Ĭonker’s Bad Fur Day is full of all the things that could make a game great. Getting past a clock gear that is cussing you out, or getting caught in the middle of a squirrel army battle are things that I can honestly say can only be done in Conker’s Bad Fur Day.

Fighting a poop boss with toilet paper I’m sure is something that hasn’t been done before or since. The tasks in the title are part of what makes it fun too. There’s no way Rare would’ve known about their future downfall at this time, but it certainly seems like they used Conker to go out with a bang by making sure everything was perfect. Conker’s controls are tight and without fault. While it might seem like these moves are nothing special, back in 2001 they most certainly were. Conker also uses his tail like a helicopter to navigate the levels. He has the typical moves of any platforming character at the time which including running and jumping but when he faces an enemy head on his weapon of choice is an iron skillet to the dome piece which makes a satisfying “CLANG” as you knock bad guys out cold. Whether it’s a sleepy scarecrow, a premenstrual crying bee, or a never-ending pile of poop with a mouth the size of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, there is no end to the creative nature of these beasts and the flare that they add to the story line.Ĭonker takes on his enemies in hilarious ways too. Half of them are drunk bumbling idiots with a speech impediment who attempt to become heroes by assisting Conker on his adventures through the chapters. What really deserves a special mention here is the effort that Rare put in to store a full over soundtrack within the limits of a 100mb Nintendo 64 cartridge. The game follows an alcoholic, smoking squirrel on a quest to save his girlfriend through various titled and themed environments, and there is no end to the entertainment and hilarity that ensues.īesides the amazing story line the first thing one will notice in the title is the unique character lineup. Conkers Bad Fur Day was also a technological marvel for the N64 and was one of the first games to really bring its characters to life with lip synching.

Upon closer examination you might notice that the cartoon artwork was an overlay for a highly mature title. At first glance of the box art one might come to think they were picking up one of the many other family oriented platformers which were popular for the time. In March of 2001 they followed up their previous success with a bombshell title like we’ve never seen before. Back in the late 90’s and early millennium, developer Rare was at the height of all things video games.
