Bonk is a caveman who uses his head, literally. He bashes through walls, enemies, and bosses on a quest to restore peace to his homeland. The story is the basic "hero saves the day" but is very appropriate for the title. The music is catchy and fits very well with the game.When I was a child, I spent hours upon hours playing Bonk, I would have been perfectly content if it was the only game I owned for the turbo graphix 16. As Bonk makes his way through his adventure, he find meat to eat, which alters his appearance and performance. When you eat a small meat, you gain grey hair on the sides (but the top stays bald), your attack power doubles, and if you head butt the ground, nearby enemies temporarily turn to stone. Eat another meat (or eat a large meat) and Bonk temporarily gains invulnerability, turns reddish brown (with a scar above his eye) his attack power doubles again, and can turn enemies into stone for a longer periods of time from farther away. Once you make your way through the level, you use a dinosaur skull to get to the boss of the level. Bosses are actually friends of Bonk's that are wearing mind altering helmets, break the helmet and you free your friend. The replay value is very high, and I strongly recommend this game.
