Former developer at Uncommon Chris Seavor has been sharing online game historical past on Twitter. And at this time’s little tidbit is a fairly enjoyable one — Seavor has discovered the first-ever drawing of Conker the Squirrel.

Seavor teased his followers earlier at this time about “some ‘curious’ outdated scribbles” that he discovered, and as promised, he later shared images of the sketches that he created from again within the day. Uncommon followers will know that Seavor not solely designed the squirrel, however he was additionally the voice of the mischief-maker

Conker appears drastically totally different from what we’re used to from Uncommon’s foul-mouthed squirrel — who might be most well-known from Conker’s Dangerous Fur Day. In actual fact, the sketch Seavor has is from a time when Conker was going to be the star of a family-friendly platformer, generally known as Conker 64.

The design displays that, too — Conker has a lot greater ears and a pointier tail, and he is even carrying clogs in a single doodle. It is means nearer to a crimson squirrel than what we ultimately ended up getting in Diddy Kong Racing (although his ears are nonetheless barely pointed there) and subsequent appearances. One other huge distinction is that the unique Conker appears to be carrying overalls or dungarees. Finally, the squirrel would swap this out for a easy prime, and ultimately a zipper jacket.

One keen fan requested whether or not this design was impressed by Snarf from Thundercats, with Seavor admits that he has “no reminiscence” of what he was considering when he created these doodles.
