7 Video Games You Didn’t Realise Were Sequels

7. Conker’s Bad Fur Day - <span Style="font-size: 17.55px;">Conker’s Pocket Tales</span>

It's easy to forget that Conker's Bad Fur Day was originally going to be a child-friendly game like the rest of Rare's platformers.

It was worked on throughout the majority of the N64's lifecycle and it wasn't until quite late in its development that it became the mature game that we know it as today.

The thing is, if you want to take a look at the child-friendly equivalent of Conker, you don't even need to look at early builds and behind-the-scenes videos, you can just play the actual first Conker gam: Conker's Pocket Tales.

On Game Boy, Conker's Pocket Tales was in development alongside Conker's Bad Fur Day (at the time known as both Conker's Quest and later Twelve Tales: Conker 64). Unlike its home console counterpart, it wasn't delayed and came out on time, long before Rare decided that Conker should be something for adults.

It's probably good that Conker's Pocket Tales is forgotten. If it was a hit then imagine the confusion on kids faces as they went to pick up the next adventure starring their favourite animated squirrel only to be met with a sunflower with boobs.
