Who turned out to be some pink Loch Ness-looking thing. I just don't get how Sonic being resurrected by a human princess's magic kiss was so evil and unnatural, but no one batted an eye at Bonk's kiss from some pink lizard thing.
i was just thinking of how it could of gone if bonk followed all the other popular video game characters, like mario, sonic, link. where they all soon ventured into a 3D world, with there 3D selves. the up-coming bonk could fun, but would also be interesting if they later place him in a 3D world. though it could also go horribly wrong.
I first played this game only after recently splurging on Wii points, 20 YEARS after the game was made. And I loved the shit out of it, so I see where you're coming from.
I bought the T16 when it was 50$ and I returned it because I wasn't impressed. Sad that it didn't ship with a blockbuster hit game. It might of done better.
Everyone likes to think Sonic was the first to challenge Mario but Bonk clearly started it all Sonic just made it public.Bonk really deserves more limelight than he gets.
It doesn't really help that the TurboGrafix 16 had a much shorter lifespan and much smaller userbase than the SNES and Genesis/Megadrive. T-16, despite being a cool console, wasn't the console everyone owned. The majority or people had a Super Nintendo or a Sega Genesis.
Just another underappreciated gem in the realm of video games.
Great game, it's just unfortunate that it came out at the wrong time. Considering the popularity of Nintendo and Sega this didn't have a chance against the likes of Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog.
I bought the Japanese version "PC Genjin" today from ebay. Can't wait to try it out! ^_^
Oh if you are wondering about the title, "genjin" means "primitive man" or "caveman". The Japanese title is a clever pun of PC Engine which is what the TG-16 is called over there.
military madness on the turbo grafix 16, one of the best games ever

Turbo Graffx 16 is highly underrated. It had a lot of great titles on it.

i fount it romantic... but i guess i can see why others wouldn't.
poor bonk.... didn't ever get the great attention he deserved.
i don't know about you, but running around a 3D stone-age world hitting people with your beautiful high-def head, that sounds like a lot of fun to me.

You referring to Brink of Extinction? I thought that was a 2D side-scroller with 3D graphics.

it is.

it's also beyond hilarious to note that Bonk's Adventure originally came out on the NES.

Actually, the NES version of Bonk's Adventure came out three years after the TurboGrafx-16 version.

oh, really? anyway, it's still really ironic that he ever even appeared on a Nintendo console.
