Summary

One of the best Platform games on the TG-16

The Good

It is a basic platform action game that is put together very well. The characters main attack, his big head, is different from all others in the same class. The cartoon graphics are original as well as the story line. The music is good and will get stuck in your head. Nothing really stands out but the game as a whole is worth it.

The Bad

Some of the power-ups change your attributes and sometimes they don't make much sense. Only the invincibility power-up is immediately understood.

The Bottom Line

Ok, you are a little big headed cave boy. You must bonk everything with your head. You have big old teeth that allow you to climb walls. You eat meat and go berserk. You swim through a dinosaurs gut. All the things a cave boy can do on an alien planet. The TG-16 did come with a platform action game but it was not very playable and Bonk was NEC's answer to Nintendo's Mario and Sega's Sonic. Bonk's Adventure and it's sequel Revenge are two must-have games for the TurboGrafx owner.
