Conker VS . . . the Evil Acorn? xD

Description

Come on, you have to admit that's laugh-worthy. xD

So in Conker's Pocket Tales for the GBC (remember, this was BEFORE Conker's Bad Fur Day), Conker had to embark on a quest to rescue his Chipmunk Girlfriend, Berri (yes kids, that's Berri) and recover all of his scattered Birthday Presents that were all stolen by that dastardly villain with the usual sexy evil goatee, The Evil Acorn. If Conker doesn't act soon . . . HIS BIRTHDAY WILL HAVE BEEN RUINED!!

OH NOES!! :iconohnoesplz:

. . . Cheesy Plotline & Slightly Generic Villain Design aside, Conker's Pocket Tales was sort of Rare's answer to Zelda, in that Conker roamed in a psuedo Overhead view, traveling from place to place as you solve puzzles, recover your Birthday Presents, and find useful items such as keys.

The most significant means of combat in this game was a Slingshot, which you obtained early in the game (thankfully . . .). To use the slingshot, you had to collect conkers (round British nuts) as Ammo. Yes kids, Conker got his name from somewhere. This comes in handy, as your other means of attack, Stomping, is pretty tricky to judge. Though it's usually more powerful than the Slingshot. Conker also can dig through dirt to reach otherwise unreachable areas.

To be fair, Conker's Pocket Tales is one of those games you really have to dig deep into. It's understandable if you're not satisfied with the game on your first try, because it's hard to judge what to do, where to go, whose your friend, and whose your enemy. Even the map you find at certain buildings is a bit hard to decipher correctly. However, if you can get through these quirks, Conker's Pocket Tales is actually a pretty good game for the system it was launched on (the Game Boy/Game Boy Color).

Anyhow, that is all. :)

They were so adorable as little kids, it's a shame Conker became the drinking, swearing anti-hero we know and love/hate, and Berri somehow mutated into a Chipmunk.
