Title: Bonk 4 RPG
Post by: dallaspattern on December 20, 2013, 04:51:27 PM
Who can we petition to dig this up, finish and release it? It looked so promising!

I direct my petitions to Odin, the Allfather.  If that doesn't work, I say we harass Rover to relase MS or MSR with Bonk sprites in place of the standard character art. ( :

Seconded!  Seriously though....it would be cool if Rover tackled this.

I think he could call it Ronk, to avoid anyone sueing. Plus give him more room to work for a story.

RONK RPG.

Are you kidding?
It's somebody working on it?

I doubt there's much of anything to dig up and finish.  If someone were to do a Bonk RPG it'd be from scratch, which is probably a good thing.

Are you sure?  I'm pretty sure I've got three or four retail copies (box and everything!) laying about.

The pics Xak hotlinked (what a surprise! :shock:) aren't from the actual Bonk RPG that was in development later on. Those are just some mockups which were done as a gag in a magazine. The real Bonk RPG looked terrible.

Beauty! I found a preview for it in an old EGM, stated it was only 20% complete at the time.

A troll came through here a few years ago claiming to have a working rom. It's surely just a matter of time until Bonk RPG sees a physical release!

Was it really going to be bonk "4" officially?

As mentioned earlier, Bonk's RPG was cancelled.

I never could get behind a Bonk RPG. I mean he did so well as a platformer, it's almost an insult to ask Bonk to patiently wait for a time to attack his enemies when he's so used to just walking up to them and head-butting them to their demise.

An updated Bonk platformer with even more colorful visuals and crisp graphics would be welcome. I wasn't too crazy about the art style of the PS2 and GC remakes, but it was decent.

Who knows? I doubt they would have simply left it as "Bonk 4"...all the other games had extended titles.

If you look at the preview for "Bonk IV: The Role Playing Game", you'll notice a disclaimer at the bottom of the page (it's a really tiny font).

Nope, '92, but only in the 4th district of Qatar.

Knowing TTI's distribution.

You think that maybe this was something TTi was cooking up themselves? As in, it wasn't originally a japanese developed idea?

She's a man baby YEAH!

The battle screenshot looks pretty official. The overworld map looks like it could have been "shoppped" but the Battlescreen one looks good. I found more but dont know maybe you guys can shed light.

Someone should seriously put this on PCE CD. If not then make it on RPGmaker for PC

The last name I saw it listed under was Bonk's Quest on some TTI flyer I have laying around somewhere.

The fugly screen shots on that page are supposed to be real. The nice looking ones were never part of any development.
