Conker's little known first adventure, Conker's Pocket Tales is a top-down Action-Adventure game for the Game Boy Color, developed by Rare, and released in 1999. This game is one of the black GBC cartridges, making it backwards compatible with the original Game Boy and the Super Game Boy adapter for the SNES (albeit with a reduced color palette). Unlike its more well-known sequel, it's kid-friendly and much more in-line with Rare's other games like Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie.It's Conker's birthday party, and Berri and friends have given him a mountain of presents. Before he can open them, though, Berri first whistles in a trolley bearing the biggest birthday cake he has ever seen. However, something is up, as she notices it's not the one she made. The fake cake then bursts open with a crash, as the Evil Acorn springs out of the wreckage, gathers the presents and kidnaps Berri before fleeing. By the time Conker made it to the door, he had already escaped, and it's now up to Conker to get his presents back and rescue Berri.The game was originally going to get a sequel on the N64 known as Twelve Tales: Conker 64, but that game was later cancelled and retooled for an older audience as Conker's Bad Fur Day, which has become far more known than Pocket Tales itself. |

The Wild West: Vultureville, the game's second world, is set in a western town. Early in the stage, Conker is accused of shooting the Undertaker and arrested by the Sheriff. After Conker escapes from jail and meets up with the Sheriff again, the Sheriff realizes that Honker is the real criminal, and makes Conker his deputy as a means of apology. He then tells Conker to go to the bank, which is being robbed by Honker, whom Conker must defeat in a shoot-out. Later on, Conker must fight Sol and Luxo, a pair of vultures. |

| | Conker's Pocket Tales (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 |
comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: This game was made and released when Conker was still being aimed at kids, so it's much more cartoony, kid-friendly and lighthearted than the game most fans know Conker for. Berri's design in particular is much different between the two games, looking like a Distaff Counterpart of Conker in Pocket Tales as opposed to her taller, more sexualized design in Bad Fur Day. Rare would later try to justify this in promotional material for Conker: Live & Reloaded as Pocket Tales taking place when Conker was a kid. |

Reformulated Game: A unique example done on the same cartridge. Unlike most games specifically designed for the Game Boy Color, this one can be played on an original Game Boy, but it drastically alters its title screen, layout, animations, save system, and even some events to fit the weaker system. |

In the second, Conker will need to beat Honker in a swimming race, pressing left and right on the D-pad to swim and A or B to breathe. In the third and final race, once Conker has built his boat, he will need to beat Honker to the finish line while staying on course. |
