Conkers Bad Fur Day - Garage Sale Find

in #gaming7 years ago

So I was garage sailing recently and I picked up an N64 lot and some other miscellaneous games on the cheap. In the box was a pretty cool game. It's from Rare the same people who made Donkey Kong Country and other really spectacular games for the SNES and N64. I tried this game out and was pretty surprised when it flashed a warning about being "for mature audiences only." As a kid Nintendo was always afraid to have violent games on their console. I remember street fighter 2 being modified to not have blood in it.

This game is much different. It is about a vulgar profane red squirrel who drinks heavily and is violent. Kind of a cool change of pace from most of the N64 games I remember playing as a teenager.

I'm always looking for classic video games at good prices. As you can see from the picture my N64 came from the goodwill for $9.99. Works great! I was shocked when I looked up the price of Conkers Bad Fur Day. The game sells for as much as $100 on eBay. Or even more of it is still sealed or comes with the box. I got this at a great bargain. :)

If you are interested in me doing a review of this other classic games let me know in the comments. I just wanted to share how you can find some awesome stuff at garage sales.

Sort:  

Yard sale finds like this are great to hear about. There are plenty of opportunities like this just not many people looking for them. I find good stuff at yard sales more often than I do at pawn shops or Goodwill anymore (the management has figured out Ebay pricing for instance).

Congrats on that Conker's game. It is definitely a sought after game.

Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback!

Great post bro.. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up..

Thanks! I appreciate it! I'll try to do some more gaming posts soon

Me and my wife spend nearly every Saturday morning looking for garage sales. That's a great find, and one of the most expensive N64 games on the system.

It was pretty controversial when it came out. It was originally going to be a harmless Banjo Kazooie/Super Mario 64/Donkey Kong 64 style platformer with a cute hero, but at some point the game did a 180 and became a profane and vulgar experiment for Nintendo. Take a look at this old commercial for this game:

Somehow I missed that commercial! Haha. That's pretty crazy for a Nintendo game! Thanks for showing it!

I love going to garage sales. You never know what you will find. I always end up with something cool.

I absolutely love garage sailing!! So many treasures and wonders that a person has found over their life. ❤️❤️❤️
