The decision to have the cutesy platformer design juxtapose the raunchy and violent content is the core identity of the graphics. Storing sixty-four megabytes of data, this rivals early Xbox games in how expressive the characters can be. PresentationĬonker’s Bad Fur Day was Rare’s last game on the Nintendo 64. It might sound cluttered on paper, but in execution the narrative is unique from both the platformers at the time and story driven games today. But without this, we might not have the likes of Rick and Morty traveling to different dimensions relying on the same improvisation. Admittedly, it’s not as risque compared to modern adult animation that has since pushed the boundaries of what it can get away with.

Coupled with parodies of films like Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this is the kind of story that doesn’t care about demographics and just wants to run wild with whatever comes to mind. These include fire demons that operate a boiler with a brass scrotum, a grim reaper with an animosity towards cats, and the highlight of the adventure, a giant mountain of opera singing feces with googly eyed sweet corn as teeth. Throughout the story, so many characters leave a lasting impression with their off-color personalities no matter how short their screen time. But his goal is easy to grasp, unlike the world he inhabits that’s always out to get him, but that’s what makes it so hilarious.

It’s a classic tale of Alice in Wonderland that’s more about the journey than the destination. After crying over spilt milk, he calls upon his German weasel scientist to fix the matter, which in this case he concludes is a red squirrel. Meanwhile, the panther king is enjoying a drink until it falls off his broken table. One night of drinking with friends ends with him lost and hungover as he tries to find his way home. Conker the squirrel is begrudgingly king of all the land, reminiscing how he came to be in his current situation.
