We all remember Conker Bad Fur Day as one of the most original (at least conceptually) games ever released on Nintendo 64. But we also remember how it looked before, when it was called Conker: Twelve Tales or Conker’s Quest: the quintessential cute-looking platform. However, apart from the graphic style, the first version of Conker had some interesting features not found in released version. The overworld was probably bigger and there were more levels, like, as you can seen from the screenshots on this page, a Toy and an Ice stage, more bosses,more moves and gadgets (including vehicles) for Conker. Also, the game was slightly different if played with Berry, the cute friend of Conkey, because she would have had to raise monsters in order to fight the enemies. The most significant feature was however the co-op mode, which allowed two players to cooperate in the adventure mode. Unfortunately, only some places and characters were ported to BFD, although with heavy changes, like the Scarecrow, the Cyclops (that became the giant boss of the prehistoric world), the windmill, many locations and gameplay ideas of the phehistoric world, etc. We can only hope that in the future a proto of this game will be leaked for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks to Cubivore10 for the contribution!

Is there a working rom out for this? and if so is the rom compatible with the xbox version of the n64 emulator?

It’s just me or it also resembles a bit of Dinosaur Planet?

It would give a really nice sequel (or even the first game) for the released BFD.

It actually looks pretty cool. If they’re are roms, someone should release them to the public. It’d be nice.

Also, it would be really cool if someone took the existing roms and finished the game. It could be a prequel of sorts.

I dont know why they made such a 180 on this game. not that Fur day is Bad, actually its one of my favorites. But it seems like they had a nice working game that could almost have been released. so why did they change it…?

Captain N: I think it was because Rare was known for making little kid games and they never wanted to be known for that so they decided to make Conker 64 into an M rated game.

January 23rd, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Playtendo is right, that’s probably the main reason. A sad one. While Bad Fur Day was a fun game, it’s a shame that this version was cancelled. It was pratically a new game, not really comparable with BFD.

God I wish they would have released this. I want a ROM so bad. Unfortunately I’ve been looking for over a year, and still nothing =\

BFD wasn’t that bad, but this would be a great game. I wonder if Rare could simply release a kid series and adult series?

why are all you people asking for a rom? there is no rom! STFU!

BFD was one of Rareware’s last great games.

It seems from the details here that they made the correct decision to scrap Twelve Tales; it looks fairly awful.

May 11th, 2009 at 2:18 pm

i dont know, some modes from Twelve Tales (coop, monsters simulation) could have been interesting :(

i like roms

Wanna know why Bad fur day was so foul and vulgar, BLAME THE VULGAR TRASH KNOWN AS SOUTH PARK, it even says on wikipedia “Inspired by South Park” I HATE YOU STONE AND PARKER, AND YOUR SWEARING KIDS TOO!!!!!!!

conker bad fur day was a gem, and the peak of technology on the nintendo 64: perfect lip synch, great graphics, incredible sound, orchestral musics, wonderful textures and great gameplay ideas.. it was clearly a ripoff of a typical south park stiled cartoon, but at any rate it was great and very entertaining (the big boobed flower was top notch!)

This said.. i would like to play this version too.. a pic of the actual barry, the girlfriend of conker in this beta rom, can be viewed in banjo kazooie, on the Boat lvl (can’t recall the name), inside one of the cabins that can be accessed breaking the mirrors.

June 29th, 2009 at 2:33 am

In my opinion, conker bad fur day was the peak reached technically and on a gameplay base, on the nintendo 64… tho i would like to play this version of the game too, it shows quite a lot of great ideas! and.. to me, the polygonal engine is different. this one resembles more the banjo kazooie one.

A picture of the Beta Barry, the girlfriend of conker in twelve tales, can be seen inside the Boar level, the one with the poisoned sea (can’t recall the name), in banjo kazooie, inside one of the cabins that can be accessed breaking the windows.

gosh double post.. how embarassing! 8(

man i wish they came out with this game a long time ago it may have probably been better than banjo kazooie mabey…. but i dont realy get it when you guys say ROMs is it suppost to be a download? but if they did come out with this game i would have played it but at the time i was about 4 ….. i think rare needs to put this on either the nintendo ds or the xbox arcade. it would be nice.

Maybe, we could start a project? Maybe like the Mario 64 beta reconstruction? I’m on board if anybody else would be willing to help.

October 12th, 2009 at 1:56 pm

It would be interesting to see a “Conker Bad Fur Day” editor, but probably it’s not that easy to do

If Ppl Like Myself Want To Play This Game Rare Should Atleast Try & Put It On Wii. I hope They Do Make This Game For The Wii Because It Looks Like It Was a Good Game

October 25th, 2009 at 10:05 pm

Yeah…wishful thinking on my part. However, somebody (maybe me) should look deep within the bowels of the ROM and see if there are any leftovers from Twelve Tales.

October 29th, 2009 at 2:29 am

I Dont Remember But This Site had The Game But They Want Cash For It.

Look to who ever has the game, why don’t you stop being a little greedy hoarder depriving everybody of this awesome game and simply come up with a number… say 5 grand then create a website with a paypal account for donations.

Once the target is met and your investment protected you can keep your damn cart, just release the rom on the net.

I would happly contribute a few bucks to play this game and im sure thousands of other people would aswell.

If your reading this PLEASE consider what i said. You can count on my $5 :)

Well if it’s true that Rare didn’t want to be known as just some “kiddie” company (which is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard, their 64 games were incredible, save Conker, any age!) then that’s probably why they snuck all that perverted shit into Banjo Tooie.
