Conker began as a cute Rare platformer, Twelve Tales: Conker 64, before Rare rebuilt it into a crude, violent comedy full of movie spoofs and toilet humor. Conker's Bad Fur Day came out in North America on March 5, 2001, near the end of the N64's life, on a 64 MB cartridge, as big as N64 carts got. The ESRB rated it M, making it the second Nintendo-distributed M-rated game after Perfect Dark, and the box warns it's not for anyone under 17. Critics loved it, but it sold only about 55,000 copies in its first month. That short run is why it's now one of the scarcer N64 games and why collectors pay more for it. With that value, make sure a cart is genuine before you buy.

Before you plug it in
The version, the region and what it needs
Which one is it
There's one North American release, published by Rare in March 2001. The box front carries the line "ADVISORY: THIS GAME IS NOT FOR ANYONE UNDER 17." Conker: Live & Reloaded is the 2005 Xbox remake, a different game, and the 2015 Rare Replay collection on Xbox One includes the original.
RegionNTSC-U (North America)
This is the North American (NTSC) cart for US and Canadian consoles. The European release came later from THQ and is PAL, which a US console's lockout chip refuses.
Saves
Saves go to a 16-kilobit EEPROM chip on the cart board, which keeps data without power, and the game holds three save files. There's no save battery to die or replace.
Fakes and mods
Reproduction carts boot on a real N64 because they carry a clone of Nintendo's CIC lockout chip, so a repro can play fine and look right from the front. Nintendo closed its carts with two 3.8 mm Gamebit security screws on the back, and plain screws mean the shell has been opened. For a cart this valuable, ask for a photo of the board. A genuine one has Nintendo's CIC-NUS chip, while a repro has a clone in its place.
Should come with it
Complete in box means the cart, the box and the instruction manual
A loose cart is the usual buy and plays the same
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
What to check
The real risk is a reproduction cart, since it's one of the N64 games collectors pay most for. Genuine carts that won't start are usually just dirty on the contacts.
01Screws: Check the two screws on the back of the cart in the photos. Nintendo used 3.8 mm Gamebit security screws, so plain heads mean it's been opened.
02Board: Ask for a photo of the board inside. A genuine board carries Nintendo's CIC-NUS lockout chip.
03Label: Zoom in on the cart label in the photos. It should be flat and clean with crisp print and no peeling.
04Box advisory: On a boxed copy, look for the under-17 advisory line on the front. It's printed on the North American box.
05Manual: Ask whether the manual is in the box. A complete copy has the box, the manual and the cart.
06Region: Check the title and box for the North American release. The PAL version from THQ won't boot on a US console.
07Running: Ask for a short video of the game running on a TV. It should load straight to the title screen with clean graphics.
08Save: On arrival, start a file, play a few minutes and power off. The save should be there when you turn it back on.
We'd buy the loose cart titled authentic and tested at $132 delivered, because the seller photographed it opened with the board out, and that's the check that matters on this game. There are at least 48 for sale. Loose carts mostly ask $160 to $210 delivered, which is what the $170 to $300 band reflects, and complete-in-box copies ask about $300 to $650. Conker is one of the N64 carts reproductions copy most, and a repro boots and plays fine, so ask for a photo of the board showing Nintendo's CIC-NUS chip and check the back for the two Gamebit security screws. On a boxed copy, the North American box carries the under-17 advisory line on the front; skip the UK listing with a new box, which means a reproduction box.
