Developed by Rareware, Conker's Bad Fur Day arrived on the Nintendo 64 in 2001 as a platformer.

It landed about 5 years into the N64's life. Other notable N64 releases from 2001 include Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Dr. Mario 64 and Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage. Among the 34 N64 platformers in our database, it ranks #6 by legacy score.

It is part of the Conker series. The series also appears on other systems with Conker's Pocket Tales (GBC). Rareware also made GoldenEye 007, Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie for the N64.

Conker's Bad Fur Day supports up to 4 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives

What playing Conker's Bad Fur Day is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
