a5c7b9f00b The vulgar adventures and exploits of a squirrel with a hangover, trying to save the world. After a rough night of drinking beer, Conker wakes up stranded in a hungover. Conker meets new friends and foes along the way of getting to Berri his girlfriend. However, Berri has been kidnapped and Conker must find her and rescue her. Now the Panther King is crying over spilled milk, so he chooses Professor von Kriplespac to fix the problem, but the Professor is creating an evil army of Tediz to have both the Panther King and all the squirrels killed. So the Professor comes up with a solution that a red squirrel is the key to prevent the Panther King&#39;s milk spill over. So Conker must survive the day and get home. After two promising decent games in Diddy Kong Racing and Conker&#39;s Pocket Tales, Conker was to appear again in Twelve Tales: Conker 64 which is also decent. But before the third game could ever be released, the game developers were already getting vicious taunts from hecklers regarding them and the game. Apparently, the game developers listened to the hecklers, and therefore fell into what later turned into a trap. They changed the really nice Twelve Tales: Conker 64 into the utterly dirty Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day. I have seen a number dirty games in the past but none aredirty this one.<br/><br/>Why was listening to the hecklers such a trap? When the dirty game was released, sure it was given some thumbs up. But all those positive responses would be meaninglessthe number of buyers are less than inadequate. True, there are a handful of likers who embrace it in such an obsessed manner but that doesn&#39;t imply that the game is popular which it may never be. Nintendo might have taken a lost, considering how much it costs to make the game&#39;s cartridges.<br/><br/>But what if Twelve Tales: Conker 64 was released instead of its disgusting replacement? Needless to say that one might have been a super hit because it&#39;s suitable for all ages. Perhaps that explains the successes of nice games like Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo-Kazooie. Also, Conker might have stood on top of Nintendo&#39;s mountain alongside Mario and Donkey Kong. Sadly, that never happened. As a child I began playing video games regularly when I was in first grade. I then got familiar with famous video game characters like Mario and Sonic. Although I knew many characters in my day, I never knew Conker. In fact I only heard of him only about two months ago. Why is such a cute character that&#39;s been around for more than a decade still in the shadows?<br/><br/>Conker first debut in Diddy Kong Racing. Like most Nintendo characters, he was initially designed to be family-friendly. His next game, Conker&#39;s Pocket Tales, would be his last outing being suited for all ages. Then came an announcement of another family-friendly game of his which would be released on the Nintendo 64. While that N64 game was only days away from hitting markets, critics already gave their reviews. Game developer Rare took the criticism personally and decided to give the squirrel a bizarre makeover. If there&#39;s anything I hate, it&#39;s turning a nice friendly critter to a deranged sicko. If Rare needed someone to be aimed at the adult market, they could have created another character rather than corrupting one that&#39;s targeted at children.<br/><br/>Yes, Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day, which was aimed at mature audiences, got a lot thumbs up from reviewers. But all those praises would only matter a little when the game performed miserably in the market. Perhaps that other game Rare changed for this one might have sold better.<br/><br/>I wish Rare would bring back the nice family-friendly Conker. If Rare continues to present this deranged version of him, Conker will forever remain being an obscure character. He&#39;ll never even achieve half the star power of great characters like Mario and Sonic.
