"Bonk's Revenge" - Turbo Views 28 (TurboGrafx-16 / Duo game REVIEW!)

[@spida1a]

@CyborgNinja7 Ha ha. Well, I appreciate your support and comments. As for the 'Thumbs down' person....eh, I think I'll live! Ha ha. :)

[@spida1a]

Should be up in the next day or two. I wanted to review part 3 close to 2....you know? :) Thanks!!!

[@spida1a]

I get where you are coming from. But, I have to be honest.......I don't think anyone was confused here in the States about the order. There was enough time between games that people knew when the next one was coming (and since the third had a "3" next to it, it was pretty obvious Revenge the sequel). Plus, Turbo wasn't popular here......so nobody cared. Ha ha! :) Thanks for watching!

[@spida1a]

I liked the third game. But man, oh man......this one just raised the bar so high. You know? Whew. :) Thanks for watching, as always my friend!!

[@spida1a]

Oh shucks. Stop it. LOL! P:) Thanks for watching!

[@spida1a]

Woho! Thanks for watching!!

[@spida1a]

Eh....it aint bad. LOL! :) Thanks for watching!

[@spida1a]

You'll enjoy this one I think. I really do! I'm not sure about converters for US games. But, I'm sure someone else here has. :) Thanks for watching!!

[@spida1a]

Yes, that is true. Funny enough, if I pull out my original "script" for the review, I actually mentioned this (as I found it the case in pretty much all three games). But, it ended up on the cutting-room-floor for some reason. Lol! :) Thanks for watching!

[@ZorakTheGreat]

Bonk's Revenge AKA best Turbo Grafx Platformer. And you gotta love the soundtrack included in the Gate of Thunder 3 in 1 pack.

[@spida1a]

UGH! I know!! When I capture the footage into my computer and "make notes" on things I want to mention, obvious goofy things like that always tend to stand out. I had it in BIG type so I'd remember it. Hee hee. Thanks for watching!

[@crt82]

as a newcomer to the PC Engine (I got my Duo RX in the post yesterday!) your videos have been absolutely amazing! Many thanks!!!

[@spida1a]

Same here. I love this one and still had a blast playing it again all these years later. You know? Thanks for watching!

[@spida1a]

@MrRetroGamer96 Thanks for writing and commenting. :)

[@spida1a]

@stonforcebassbohab Ha ha. I smell a new reality show! :) Thanks for watching.

[@spida1a]

I definitely agree with you. There's nothing wrong with games that are pick-up-and-play...when they're great. The Bonk series is just awesome. You know? Thanks for watching!!

[@spida1a]

Thanks for watching!!!!

[@spida1a]

F'n A man. :) Thanks for watching!!!!!

[@spida1a]

Oh......you're one of "THEM" Hee hee!!!! Thanks for watching, as always my friend!

[@metalmat3651]

Best game on the system and one of the best video games of all time imo

[@spida1a]

Well....shucks!! :) The Super CD and Chip games don't really have much to talk about in order to split them into two reviews (and they get the same rating anyway). So, they will be condensed into one review. In fact....coming up next......

[@spida1a]

@barber747 Totally. Both excellent games!!!!!!!!! Thanks for watching!

[@spida1a]

Wohoo! Swag rules! Thanks for watching!! It's nice to meet a new YT friend. :)

[@1982Mattyb]

I had this back in the 80s, has anyone else played devils crush for the turbo grafix 16? I wish I never sold mine back in the 90s.

[@spida1a]

@MrLukecov Thanks for watching!

[@VecTron5]

I was lucky enough to be able to get both this, Bonks adventure, and keith courage when I bought a TG-16 last year. Unfortunately, TG-16 games are worth their weight in gold where I live, so the only other games I've bought since are final lap twin and ninja spirit.

[@spida1a]

See? I knew someone would come to the rescue of this ole' American TurboGrafx guy. :)

[@spida1a]

Agreed. Definitely!

[@spida1a]

It's coming.....eventually. LOL! :) Got a few other import reviews to dish out first. UGH! So many, so little time. Hee hee. Thanks!!

[@yokoyonku4549]

Great review! Bonk's Revenge is my favorite game. "PC原人2"は良いゲームだ。

[@spida1a]

I agree. I love this one!!

[@spida1a]

Thanks! Have fun with your Turbo my good friend!

[@bongo870]

I love my TG-16. I have 50 games with the add on cd player for the back of my system. but i loved all the bonks... air-zonk and all! I loved this one game.

[@spida1a]

Ha! Thanks man! As always!!

[@BigBossMan538]

Its funny when Bonk crawls up the fishing line. The characters are really expressive. I like it!

[@spida1a]

Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you did!!!

[@Barber747]

This was, hands down, my favorite Turbo-Grafx game out of all of them. Even better than Ninja Spirit, though that game was very good also.

[@DarkMikaruX]

Never did get my hands on Bonk 3! I remember my friend had it and i got to borrow his, but never did get around to buying one of my own. Great review... brought back great memories!

[@spida1a]

Oh man...me too. I love it and still find it a blast to play. :)

[@alexanderrow7565]

Just picked this game up the other day for wii, and it is an excellent platformer. However, I suck at it! Decades of playing Mario games have conditioned me to jumping on enemy's heads, "bonking" (not boinking) is an unfamiliar concept I've yet to master.

[@ScrewAttackEurope]

Most excellent review sir!!! When it comes to Bonk III are you going to compare the CD and cart versions or are you going to review then individually?

[@spida1a]

Yeah, I'm a sucker for it. What can I say? Hee hee. I'll put N2 on the request list. Thanks!!

[@sunteam]

Yeah, I'm one of the people that the lack of rapid spin bothers! It's still a fantastic game though.

[@spida1a]

I think you'll enjoy it. It has always been a favorite of mine and playing through it again....well....I found that it still is. :)

[@spida1a]

Just put up a video recently about that.... :) Thanks!

[@Exlee-yp7ue]

I remember my anticipation for this game as a 16 year old in high school. I could not wait. And when I got I was so happy to find it lived up to my hype for it. The first one was great. But revenge improved upon everything. I had I smile on my face the entire time playing. It pissed me off though back in day the most popular video game mag electronic gaming monthly was so anti turbo and so on the dick of the snes and genesis. Of the 3 man reviews it got 2 8's out of 10. And one 7. This game is a 9 all the way. Giving it a 7 was just dick! It would take a turbo game that was so amazing for them to begrudgingly admit it was good. Like gate and lord of thunder. As well as Y's book 1+2.

[@steve5123456789]

What was with the anti-TG sentiment back then anyway.

[@mrg5559]

@@steve5123456789 nintendo was losing to nec in japan so they started punishing retailers if you sold a turbo you.got no snes shipped to you they started an anti turbo campaign that really hurt turbografx in the us early on to nintenodo turbografx 16 was for bad people cause it had violent games like splattethouse

[@spida1a]

Sweet! Definitely! Thanks!

[@ZorakTheGreat]

Bonk's Revenge on Gate of Thunder CD with CD sound! Doesn't get much better than that!

[@LucianDarkwynd]

I loved playing this game as a kid.

[@spida1a]

@BigBossMan538 Same here. It is one of the things about the game series I really enjoy. You know? :)

[@spida1a]

@VecTron5 Cool! That's a good line-up. I hope you enjoyed the Bonk series! :)

[@atarileaf]

Excellent review. I just picked up this title recently but haven't gotten around to trying it. Now, I'll find the time :)

[@jamesmoss3424]

Bonk's revenge is a brilliant sequel. 😀👍🎮

[@jamstrat]

This is why I love the Turbo, the games just oozed style and originality. Great stuff Chris, keep the vids coming, cant wait for Turbo Views Volume 2, hahaha!!!

[@spida1a]

Okay! I will put that on my "request" list. Thanks!!!

[@80sMTV]

I Enjoyed The First Bonk Game. I Wish I Could Try The Sequel.

[@jboypacman]

Agreed Bonk's Revenge is a fantastic follow-up from the first! Great game and as always a Great review Chris.

[@starsoldier1]

Yes! It's cool to see this game get such a high rating since it's still one of favourites for this sexy machine and in my opinion the best Bonk game around. Again awesome review!

[@ScrewAttackEurope]

Ah nice!!! It also begs the eternal question, who did you prefer as a mascot, Bonk or Zonk? :D

[@katsujinken10]

Great review, thanks for sharing. I love the old Bonk games! Have you heard that there's a new 2.5D Bonk game coming out? It's going to be on Wiiware I think.

[@spida1a]

Wohoo! Thanks man! :)

[@spida1a]

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@Gutigwolfe]

Something tells me I now know where Whoopee camp got there inspiration for Tomba.

[@chrismeservey]

Your reviews are really thorough and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

[@Draco9898]

Can't wait for your next review. Cheers.

[@Folklorigin]

Another great freakin review! Man, i actually ran outta things to say, so, great job, love the vids, and keep makin them.

[@SQGReviewShow]

The aesthetics kind of remind me of Kirby's Adventure. Especially with the palm trees.

[@spida1a]

Thanks!!!! :) :) :)

[@lunchboxssj2]

Another good review, 5 more stars XD I remember that if the plant pods aren't breathing there is an enemy in it instead of meat or random fruit.

[@jboypacman]

No problem my friend you work hard on these videos and you deserve the praise.

[@123doomdoom]

Skip Mario's fangus and just to the meat...hahaha...loved that part. Well said! I completed this game yesterday, But I wasn't satisfied with it. It's because I collected 50 smiley faces and skipped a level. That sucked! I will beat it again and play all the levels.

[@Progearspec]

The only way you can play u.s hucards on a pce,is to have a region switch put in. My duo-r has it and it's very useful ^_^ Though are converters that let you play pce hucards on a TG16 or TurboDuo.

[@JamesmanXtreme]

"Um, quick question! Why in the hell do villains find the need to procreate? King Drool had to go and reproduce, and now we are left with his grandson, King Drool III!" Totally random comment but, I thought King Drool's full name was always King Drool III (especially since it was labeled in the next game, Bonk's Big Adventure". That aside, I really do love this game, and am glad I have it on my Wii. It's a sad shame though the revival game, Brink of Extinction, was recently canceled. =(

[@mhc12k]

I used to play this game everyday.

[@spida1a]

Wohoo. Happy Birthday buddy. :)

[@HalfBlindGamer]

Awesome review once again sir! This game looks like so much fun, I obtained a TG-16 last month too, whoohoo!

[@avenuePad]

I'm looking forward to getting around to this one. :)

[@spida1a]

No way? I'll have to keep my eyes open, for sure!

[@SPac316]

I have this on the Virtual console. I like it.

[@Niekra]

A great review, I agree it was one of the best bonk games. Speaking of sequals, I would love to see a review on Netopia 2! :)

[@spida1a]

Hmm......I liked Bonk the best. I think. :)

[@spida1a]

@TheBowserone Ha ha. "Ba da bum!"

[@Bigtrek34]

Best game ever!

[@80sMTV]

I Beat The Game Without Using A Continue That I Downloaded Today On The Wii Virtual Console.

[@SplatterTrigger]

great review Chris!By far one of my favorite platformers!

[@afficial83]

awesome game, the 1st video game I beat when I was a kid.

[@RPSteve]

When Bonk gets hit, he looks like he's puking! LOL. It's at around 6:55

[@thee3nd]

That game looks fun.

[@VecTron5]

@spida1a Are you considering reviewing Bonk: Brink of extinction when it comes out for download on the current-gen consoles?

[@Atarix777]

Wow, very cool video man, I enjoyed watching it :-D

[@bogercs]

1: Enemies get "Bonk"ed on the head by Bonk! 2: One of the turbo games on a turbo system.

[@spida1a]

Hey, thanks!!! Hmm.....maybe you should pre-order Volume 2.... :)

[@spida1a]

Ha! That's a great story. See? Once in a while someone has taste....hee hee!!!

[@spida1a]

@Kevster012 Ha ha! Nice. :)

[@Gutigwolfe]

@spida1a, well if you ever played Tomba, you know hes about as crazy as Bonk.

[@spida1a]

:) It's a great one!

[@mjxbox]

great review 5 stars

[@neversaydie97]

I miss Bonk and Hudson Soft! What will come of his Wii update now that Konami has absorbed Hudson? Sigh...Please Konami do the right thing and bring back the original headbanger!

[@spida1a]

@Polywanacraker LOL! :)

[@oneupgamer5306]

you should talk about the nes port of bonk if you ever get the chance.
