Pros: A big adventure game for the little handheld, with cute music and fun minigames. Interesting little puzzles and challenges, all in a top-down 2D perspective. Also of course, this is Rare, so it was pretty to look at with its CGI ACM graphics. And another plus, this is actually two games in one! If played on a Game Boy Color, your adventure is different, some mechanics and minigames completely different as well, than if you play it on a regular Game Boy/Super Game Boy. Only bummer, is there's only room for saves for one way of playing at a time. So after you finish it on GB, play it on GBC, good for replay value.

Cons: It's a bit stiff, movement-wise. Some of the areas don't feel really well designed either... but, what did me in the most here, were the minigames on Mako Islands... God, one of them, I think it was a race, had you alternating pressing left and right, or maybe it was A and B, either way, I didn't know what blisters were until playing this game. Literal pain.

What it means to me: This game, was a game my dad bought for my brother and I... but before getting it, he gave us a choice, it was either Conker's Pocket Tales, or the new Star Wars game on N64, which was a more expensive game that was more popular for all the kids at the time... Nah, we're going with Conker, baby!! And never regretted that choice. Fuck Star Wars.
