I should love this game… I’ve been trying for years to get in to it, keep thinking it will get better just round the corner but… It’s so damn tedious!
I’m at a point near the start where I’ve just fed the mouse/rat 3 bits of cheese and now I’m trying to climb up and…? Jump in some water? I just keep falling and dying over and over.
Just having a rant! Really want to like this game as much as others seem to…
Hell, Leisure Suit Larry came out in ‘87.
Leisure suit Larry is not really a parody like Conker was though, was it? I thought it was just a point and click adventure game with dirty jokes.
Forgive me, if I’m wrong on that. I actually have not really played the leisure suit Larry games. 
I think, Conker not only makes fun of platformer games and game mechanics in general, but directly references movies like Saving Private Ryan, the Alien franchise, and the Matrix. 
I think it had a mix of dirty jokes and parodies. It’s been ages since I’ve played it.
Hopefully someone who remembers it better can chime in, otherwise I guess I know what my weekend downtime plans are.
