Description

Unlike every other Nintendo game ever made, Conker sees his first outing on the N64 with an M15+ rating attached. But don't let the violence get in your way of playing this title, which is much like other Rare platformers including Banjo-Kazooie, with a twist.

In this case, Conker has had one hell of a night, and when he wakes up not only does he have a huge hangover, but something just doesn't feel right. So it's up to Conker and his many skills to clean things up.

Conker goes through plenty of wild and wacky levels, most of which are based on classic movies including The Matrix, Jaws, Aliens, The Terminator and even Eyes Wide Shut. A multiplayer mode is also included, allowing 4 players to battle it out in many different styles of multiplayer gameplay.

Trivia

Conker's Bad Fur Day was originally announced way back in 1998 as Conker's Quest. It was then changed to Conker's Twelve Tales. The Rare decided it was too much like all other 3D platformers and decided to go with the whole mature feel with Bad Fur Day.

Conker in his original cutesy form can be seen on the Game Boy game Conker's Pocket tales.

Here are some of the parodies included in the game (possible spoilers):

The Matrix: the lobby scene complete with bullet dodging and slow motion moves. Almost exactly as done in the film.

Saving Private Ryan: The Beach scene done almost identical to the film with limbless man looking for severed arm and the underwater scene walking up the beach.

Jaws: 2 parodies here. One parodying the girl being pulled around from the opening sequence and the chasing up the pier sequence.

Bram Stoker's Dracula: The whole Dracula sequence. "Aah the children of the Night, vat sweet music they make".

Terminator: The terminator ending part with the eye and the terminator coming out of the flames. "Buff you ***hole!"

A Clockwork Orange: The opening sequence with Conker on the throne

Eye's Wide Shut: Password from club same as in the movie

Indiana Jones: The rolling boulder

Wizard of Oz: When you flush The Great Mighty Poo, he says almost the same thing that the witch says when Dorothy dumps water on her.. y'know.. ''something something.. what a world, what a world''

Star Wars: the name of the caveman Bunga the Knut (like Jabba the Hut)

Jurrasic Park: Raptor Eating the cave man just like Jurrasic Park

Lost in Space: The chase seen where the spider mines chase him down the hall and one gets his leg cut off when the door closes.

Conan the Barbarian: Whole opening sequence like Conan

The Untouchables: Weasel boss beating one of his cronies to death with a baseball bat

Blair Witch Project: Bloody handprints on the walls in Conkula's castle.

Gladiator: The whole gladiator colliseum fight scene

Reservoir Dogs: In the multiplayer game. "here are your names......mr. red, mr blue etc etc.

Exorcist: The little girl twisting her head
