Daily Easter Egg #22: Conker's Bad Fur Day's Connection to A Clockwork Orange

The resemblance is terrifying

Conker's Bad Fur Day is a rated M game, believe it or not, released for the Nintendo 64 in 2001. This seemingly kid-friendly game had to have disclaimers saying it contained mature content so parents wouldn't buy it for their children! Some of this mature content included an opening cut scene that was inspired by the movie A Clockwork Orange, in which themes of violence, dystopia, and psychological unrest are represented.

To see the both scenes played out side by side, click here!

Daily Easter Egg #15: Donkey Kong 64's References to Past Games and Future Consoles

Who knew apes could have decent interior decorating skills?


As the title implies, this egg is from Donkey Kong 64. A gramophone, a steel girder, and a painting of a dolphin can all be seen decorating DK's cabin. All but the painting of the dolphin are references to DK's past escapades. The painting is, however, a reference to the Gamecube which was in early development at the time and codenamed "Dolphin".
