10 Video Games You Loved As A Teen (But Should Never Play Again)

8. Conker's Bad Fur Day

Conker's Bad Fur Day was one of the N64's most distinctive and irreverent games: an uproariously funny, jaw-droppingly crude and gloriously self-aware parody-platformer.

With its knowing send-ups of classic movies such as Saving Private Ryan, Aliens and Terminator 2 (to name just a few), and its likeably grizzled (and hungover) protagonist, the game stood out in a sea of more family-friendly Nintendo platformers, winning a legion of immature teen fans and becoming a cult classic for good reason.

But if you're tempted by the prospect of revisiting the game on the Rare Replay collection released back in 2015, here's some advice - don't.

Returning to Conker over 20 years later reveals just how far platformers have come since 2001. Between the awkward camera, imprecise platforming mechanics and frustrating difficulty, it's an experience more annoying than entertaining.

Also, given how commonplace meta humour is nowadays, its self-awareness doesn't carry quite the same charm it did back when that was so rare in video games. One of the game's antagonists being a giant poo will always be funny, though.
