I doubt there are millions of people out there willing to pay $100 for Bad Fur Day , which they have to own the 64 too to play it, instead of just downloading the 5mb rom or so in 2 min.
If they want to play it they will. Conker is one of the few N64 games that is not worth emulating due to system issues.
Is it worth keeping $100 in your pocket and just fiddling with an emulator? I think it is.

Unless I am mistaken, Conker is nigh unplayable in n64 emulators. I would love to be proven wrong though.

Oh ok I thought you could get anything to the point of being more or less playable if you knew what you were doing. Emulation stuff isn't my forte that was just my impression.

I never liked CBFD. I rented it when it came out and just didn't like the humor or the gameplay. I tried the Xbox version later and still don't like it. I had only recently found an N64 copy, which I got in a $40 N64 lot locally. I'm not ashamed to say I sold it on ebay for $99 shipped. I don't think it's worth that price but people bid it up so it must be to someone. I can't imagine it's anything close to rare or even all that uncommon. I have a small group of local collector friends and I swear there are at least 2 copies found amongst the 4 of them every month.
Gosh I remember in 2003ish walking into my local Toys R Us and seeing ample copies on clearance of both Conkers Bad Fur Day and Zelda Majoras Mask for 10-20 bucks each. Never bought either because at the time I didn't have an N64. Sigh, if only, if only.
I remember going into a GameStop and being asked by one of the employees if i wanted to buy brand new N64 games for $20, they had CBFD and like 3-4 other games for $20 brand new.
Ill admit the game hasnt aged well, then again i dont think any N64 games have really stood the test of time, but was great when it was current.
There is probably less than 10 N64 games worth replaying for me.
