Disturbing Video Game Music 212: Windy Graveyard - Conker's Bad Fur Day
41One of the more iconic games of 3D platformers on the Nintendo 64, which is saying something, though personally I always found behind all the juvenile humor the game had to offer it was all just kinda okay.
But enough of my controversial opinions: Made purposely to be a satire of most of the cutesy games they were making, Rare's Conker's Bad Fur Day is what happens when you a take a 3D collectathon platformer and the make protagonist a selfish jerk rather than the usual selfless hero or compassionate antihero. Conker the squirrel has but one goal: make money. He goes across the land to find big living wads of dollars he can use to become a millionaire (as well as get gifts for his girlfriend Berri, the one person he actually cares about). As his crusade for cash goes along, he eventually comes across the castle of one of his rich ancestors. The good news is the ancestor is dead so Conker is the inheritor, the bad news the ancestor is a vampire. Being undead still makes Conker the inheritor, but as expected the vampire is not giving up his wealth without a fight and has a legion of zombies to help him. Conker first encounters these literal deadbeats in the graveyard. Despite the game being decidely not for kids, Conker still fulfills the classic "surprise terror in something cutesy" trope we've come to know and the music in the graveyard is amongst the creepiest you will ever hear in a Rare game.
