Conker's Bad Fur Day - Two-Player Colors Mode (Actual N64 Capture)

[Note: This video and description were originally posted on Youtube on January 2, 2017.]

This is a capture of me and a friend playing the Colors multiplayer mode in Conker's Bad Fur Day on the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Conker's Bad Fur Day cartridge. I'm player one and Drew is player two. We're playing on the Squirrel side on Bastard difficulty with a 5 vs. 5 team setup.

Drew and I have this tradition dating back to 2001 where we play Conker whenever he visits because the multiplayer is so damn awesome. Over the past few years we started regularly recording our gameplay to see if we'd end up with any amazing new footage. We recently managed to record some awesome new Colors footage, so I'm replacing the old video with some higher-quality stuff.

Colors is simply a capture the flag mode in a general war setting. It's actually much harder to play on the squirrel side, but Drew and I still tend to do that. Squirrel teammates tend to be idiots and they're slower to run back the opposing team's flag (you take fall damage when you drop off the Tediz base with their flag, but the same is not true for Tediz falling off the Squirrel base).

The AI can also be a real son of a bitch in this mode by camping in hard-to-spot areas and then sniping with the one-hit-kill magnum. The computer's accuracy with that weapon is absolute bullshit. Even on bastard difficulty, Drew and I have a tough time securing flag captures, and we frequently die in the middle of the battlefield without a clue as to who shot us. If you want to have a better chance of winning at this mode, play on the Tediz side.

Despite these flaws, this mode is really fun, even if you're playing by yourself (since you can at least have AI teammates). In this match we managed to secure two flag captures before the AI went batshit crazy and decided to shoot our heads off while we were still in our base. I hope you enjoy the new footage.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

We're using standard Nintendo 64 controllers.
