The Bonk Compendium - Pithecanthropus Internetus

Bonk's Adventure
This game is an abridged version of the TurboGrafx-16 classic. Fewer levels, fewer colors, smaller sprites, lesser control, and tinny sound plague this port. Whether it was to make more money from the NES userbase or prove the TurboGrafx's superiority, this was the lowest quality Bonk game made.
Story
The cave boy with the head of stone is back in this new chapter of his amazing adventures! Join Bonk as he travels through Dinosaur Land in search of the beautiful Moon Princess! But it looks like Bonk's old enemy King Drool is ready to take over! He's captured the princess and demands to rule Dinosaur Land. Now Bonk has to use his head (literally!), to blast King Drool's fools off of the map and bring peace back to the realm. Explore the wild world of our hard-headed kid an always keep an eye out for hidden items and bonus zones!
