Conker's Bad Fur Day

Conker's Bad Fur Day is a game created by Rare, Ltd. for the Nintendo 64.

Production
Conker's Bad Fur Day, originally known as Conker's Quest and later Twelve Tails: Conker 64 was to be a game similar to Conker's Pocket Tales, a overly cutesy game geared towards younger gamers. It was only after Rare realised that the game would probably be ridiculed and ignored like Conker's Pocket Tales was, that Rare decided to heavily revamp the game, giving it an extremely large amount of adult themes.

Story
The opening cut scene of the game shows Conker, seated on a large, golden throne drinking a glass of milk. Inside Conker's throne room are several bizzare creatures; it is only after introductions are done that Conker tells his story.

After a night of heavy drinking, Conker, extremely drunk, ends-up wandering away into the night in the direction opposite of his house. Passing out, Conker wakes up later in a strange land, where he ends-up intangeled in a war between the Squirrel High Command and the Tediz, led by the evil Panther King.

The levels of Conker's Bad Fur Day are as follows:


 * Hungover: Waking up in a large feild, Conker finds himself dazed and confused and must deal with a scarecrow named Birdy and find his away past an annoying Gargoyle.

Ports

Controversy
