Bonk's Revenge 1991

Is it still worth playing?

Bonk, a large headed caveman, sets out to recover half of the Moon, stolen by King Drool III, in this 1991 platformer for the TurboGrafx-16. Each stage has several areas, from outdoors to trains, space and underwater. One button jumps and the other bonks, a headbutt that kills most enemies. A jump followed by a bonk slams his head into the ground for a shock wave, and holding the button in the air makes him spin and hover. He can also climb walls, and some flowers let him fly. Hidden flowers open bonus rounds, and the smiley faces you collect decide the bonus area at the end of each stage. The stages are larger and more open than in the first game, and boss elevators drop you into the middle of the arena. Smileys that decide the bonus at the end of every stage still give the levels a reason to be searched.
