Bonk's Adventure (TG-16) Review.   Eddy88
Headbutts!
Turbo Grafx-16... If you're into retro gaming and his consoles, you should have heard about this console. If not, let me talk a bit about it: This console (named PC-Engine in Japan) was the result of the UNION between Hudson Soft (who was looking for financial support for the making of a console) and NEC (who was looking for a way to enter to the lucrative Video game industry) Even if the console was a big success on his beginnings... With the time (and with the apparition of the Sega Genesis and the SNES) the console started to lose terrain in sales, until it ended being forgotten. Fortunately, This console left us a bunch of pretty decent games, between those: Bonk's Adventure. The game I'm going to review today... So, As usual, sit down and start with the reading!
Story: Back in time, when the Dinosaurs used to live in the Earth, there was a Kingdom, which was Ruled for the Princess Za. Everybody on the Kingdom used to live without any problems... Until, one day, the evil King Drool kidnapped the Princess and took the control of the same. And like if that wasn't enough. He also washed the brain of some of the inhabitants of the Kingdom... And the only one who can defeat Drool is Bonk, a Cave boy with a really big head. So, that's how he decides to start his Adventure to defeat the evil King and save the princess. (5/10)
 
Graphics: In two words: Pretty good... The Backgrounds and enemies in general have many color and details...  Just look at their Facial expressions and the decoration of the Stages. Animations are decent and fun to watch. Nothing bad about these. (8/10)
Sound: This game counts with a great soundtrack. Full of catchy and memorable songs. You'll be humming them in less than you except! SFX is good also. Simple, but good. The sound that Bonk makes when walking, or the sound that is heard when an Enemy is defeated are nice to hear. Sounds crazy... But those give the game it's own identity. (8/10)
Addictiveness: An addictive game, that's what we're having here. After playing it for the 1st. Time, you'll be coming for more of it. I'm sure of that. His simple Gameplay and concept are what make the title really enjoyable and fun to play. (8/10)
Depth: This game is, also, very deep... This is how you play: Like in every plat former, you can move Bonk to the left of to the right, also, you can make him Jump. The only way to get rid of the enemies, is by head butting... yes, by using headbutts. You can attack them in the ground, or by jumping and then head butting. That's not all... Bonk also can climb walls by using his teeth. Through the game we can find some helpful items (such as the Meat pieces, that give our hero temporal invincibility and the ability to freeze enemies, the vegetables and Hearts, that fill part of our health, the Smilies, that are like the Mario's coins... With the difference that the smilies doesn't give extra lives, just points, and the Heart Containers, that extends our Life bar) all of these can find inside of Flowers. Every stage is divided into different parts. At the end of the last part, we'll have to fight a boss. If we succeed. We'll go onto the next stage, and so, until finishing the game. (8/10)
Difficulty: High... Yes, high. Since the 1st. Stage, the game will try to stop you as soon as possible. And as long you progress, it becomes more harder to beat. Even some Bosses are capable of killing you in one hit! (9/10)
Final Rating: 8
Bonk's Adventure is one of the most decent platformers out there... For something it's the most sold game of the console. So, if you have the chance... Play this game, you shall not regret it.

O.H. Original Headbanger   gamer-dad-79
 Bonk is a caveman who uses his head, literally. He bashes through walls, enemies, and bosses on a quest to restore peace to his homeland. The story is the basic "hero saves the day" but is very appropriate for the title. The music is catchy and fits very well with the game.When I was a child, I spent hours upon hours playing Bonk, I would have been perfectly content if it was the only game I owned for the turbo graphix 16. As Bonk makes his way through his adventure, he find meat to eat, which alters his appearance and performance. When you eat a small meat, you gain grey hair on the sides (but the top stays bald), your attack power doubles, and if you head butt the ground, nearby enemies temporarily turn to stone. Eat another meat (or eat a large meat) and Bonk temporarily gains invulnerability, turns reddish brown (with a scar above his eye) his attack power doubles again, and can turn enemies into stone for a longer periods of time from farther away. Once you make your way through the level, you use a dinosaur skull to get to the boss of the level. Bosses are actually friends of Bonk's that are wearing mind altering helmets, break the helmet and you free your friend. The replay value is very high, and I strongly recommend this game.

 Wow I think the apostrophe, in the game's title, glitch thing affecting highscore uploads is finally gone! Feels like Christmas in spring to me. Also, Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater work as well.
TanookiJosh 12-05-12 - 06:18 PM
 supersonicracing123 it is no.you need to get more than 3 levels in or it will be starting on 1-1
supersonicracin.. 10-22-12 - 05:11 PM
 The only bad thing: CONTUIE IS THE SAME THING AS START!
jerryaberry 05-25-12 - 06:27 PM
 rcarter2: Got it, thanks.
little toby 05-25-12 - 04:54 PM
 I had all the games on this website and more on a CD for the PC but i lost it.
rcarter2 05-24-12 - 05:56 PM
 jerryaberry: the only games you cannot make screenshots with are games with an apostrophe in the title like this one.
jerryaberry 05-24-12 - 05:42 PM
 Correction. I meant does not upload the screenshot, not save.
jerryaberry 05-24-12 - 05:40 PM
 Even with the new plugin this game still does not save in compete for high score mode. I believe this is the same problem that cut the actual competition short.

 scout was promised bonk
jerryaberry 03-20-12 - 06:42 PM
 Pressing shift and enter at the same time resets the game. Found that out the hard way.
jerryaberry 03-18-12 - 03:40 PM
 ZAD-Man: I hear you. Some games finish rather abruptly. Always take some safety shots just in case.
dagedude 03-16-12 - 01:05 PM
 try changing your controls (double click the game screen)
imabeast69 03-15-12 - 02:42 PM
 i press run all the time and it still goes to the computer playing by itself
dagedude 03-15-12 - 12:42 PM
 @ZxCvBnM7792721 that depends how you set them up. If you are using the RGR plugin, then its S D F X(bash) C(jump) and V + arrow keys to move. Double click on the game to change the controls. Enter is the "run" button.
ZxCvBnM7792721 03-15-12 - 07:47 AM
 wat are the controls
dagedude 03-14-12 - 10:43 PM
 the highscores/RGR Plugin link are missing!!! :/

 NOOO! I forgot to take a screenshot until half a second after it was too late...I only got a black screen...T.T
