Really?!?!?!?!?!

Nuts has never heard of this game? To be fair though I don't think it had a very wide release, at all. If it did it must not have been too popular.

But yes the game is very fun if not very cheap and frustrating at points. Even on easy the enemies are swarming you nonstop. Takes quite a bit of practice to get good at and I don't want to even think about 1cc it. I beat it on mame a couple of nights ago, of course not without a crap load of virtual quarters . 

BTW the 3 names it goes by are  B.C. Kid, Bonk's Adventure, and Kyukyoku!! PC Genjin and the board has four or so different region settings on board via dip switches. I am guessing B.C. Kid for Europe, Bonk's Adventure for US and Kyukyoku!! PC Genjin for Japan.
