Often regarded as one of the last golden age games made by Rare, Conker's Bad Fur Day is an acclaimed cult hit that shocked N64 users everywhere with its adult references, humor and mature disposition. Players take control of the alcoholic red squirrel known as Conker, embarking on a journey to cure his hangover and recover his girlfriend Berri. The game is now deemed an N64 classic, regardless of its small sales figures and overall unit shipments. Conker's Bad Fur Day's lack of sales can be attributed to a lack of acknowledgement by Nintendo, an absence of advertising and publicity, but ultimately it suffered most from a weakened demographic as the game didn't appeal to children, unlike most of the N64's game library. The fact it was released very late in the console's lifespan also didn't help sales, as the N64 was retired within a year of Conker's launch date. Amazon has copies listed at £100 onwards, while Ebay listings show the game being valued at £90-£200, depending on condition and if it's boxed with manual, or not. There are a surprising amount of copies still in circulation, showing how popular and sought-after Conker's Bad Fur Day still is over a decade after release.
