www.hardcoregaming101.net/bonk/bonk.htmHudson's caveman mascot, who started off on the PC Engine/TG-16, and eventually graduated on to other platforms. I've had the first two games for like a decade, but never really sat down and played them until I started to write this a few weeks ago. Bonk's Revenge and Super Genjin 2 in particular are excellent, and I love Air Zonk too.

i used to know the original like the back of my hand. every little secret, and i'm usually not the type to go hunting for every little thing.

It gets cut off there on the end.
Any comparison pics for this?

This is one of those series that I've been interested in seeing here for ages. Air Zonk is completely badass.

There are like four or five games in this series. It would be great to see it at HG101. |

If I hadn't read this, I would have continued to think that Super Bonk was an amalgam of the TG-16 titles instead of being pretty much Bonk 4. I really want to play the SNES/SFC ones now.  |

I absolutely need to pick up a real copy of Super Genjin 2. I'm really surprised at its quality, it looks completely fantastic and has a lot of the hilarious stuff that was in the first two games but missing in the rest.
I also need to stress how awesome the first level of Bonk's Revenge is. It's so strangely relaxing, except for that random boulder at the end...

I just looked into this. It seems there are only two games. I had thought that Polaroid Pete and Gekisha Boy 2 were different games. The other release is The Cameraman, a port of the first title for PlayStation. I had mistakenly assumed that these were all four completely different titles. |

found it and tried it, same thing with a baseball field added in as the final stage. kinda worth it for the new stage, but you have to go through everything else you're already familiar with on the tg16/pc engine version to get there.

The only Bonk game I've ever played is the first in its BC Kid Amiga incarnation.It's really a great game and perhaps one of the best platformers for that machine.And if I'm correct the music was rewritten by Chris Huelsbeck.
After having read the whole article I feel like playing Air Zonk though.

Picked up a typo on the second paragraph of Air Zonk. Something like:
"... Bonk stands out due to the INCREDIBLY arsenal of weaponry."
It's a typo I make frequently, though, along with confusing "Honesty" and "Honestly." Plus, you should probably call him Zonk in that sentence to be consistent with other instances.
Also, Bonk/Zonk has ten different friends (two for each level in Auto mode), not nine as it says in the article.
