Conker's Pocket Tales is a game released by Rareware in 1999. It was an overhead action game, starring Rare character Conker the Squirrel in a dual-format cartridge that served as both an original Game Boy game and a Game Boy Color game. While the two versions both co-existed on the same cartridge, only one could be played on the appropriate system. There were actually several differences in the layouts of worlds, so it was actually two games in one.

[edit] Gameplay

The game was lighthearted in nature, and designed to appeal to younger gamers. It was intended to serve as a precursor to the planned N64 title Twelve Tails: Conker 64, however that game ultimately ended up being massively re-tooled into Conker's Bad Fur Day, an "adult" title featuring profanity and scatological humor. Conker's Pocket Tales can thus be seen as somewhat of an oddity in the Conker franchise, as it represents an intended direction for the series which has since been abandoned.

[edit] Plot

Berri (who was tall as Conker and had red fur with brown hair) decides to throw Conker a surprise birthday party. However, the Evil Acorn jumps out of the cake and kidnaps Berri and steals the presents. Conker has to save Berri and get his presents back. In the end, Conker rescues Berri and the Evil Acorn gets away, claiming that he'll be back.
