Bonk 4
« on: June 13, 2007, 12:49:27 PM »
Check out what I found in an EGM from 15 years ago (I read them because they are more interesting than anything EGM has printed in the last 5 years).



Yup, that's right!  It's coming out in the 4th quarter of '92 for the Turbo!!  I can't wait!  Oh, that was 15 years ago.  I must have missed the sale at Software Etc.  How many of you have this fine game?

I have it. We at Frozen Utopia made it last year, but decided to never release it to public due to fears of getting sued or something like that. Hudson are mean doods.

Did I just lie? I guess you can never be certain...

Here's a better question.

Why did Seldane change his name and avatar?

It involved guns, titanium pylons and white, barren landscapes. The rest is history.

Crap.  I'm no good at games with a "moderate" difficulty level.  Looks like I have to sit this one out and go play Mappy Land now.

That's as big as I scanned it at.  How big do you need it?

I've always thought the graphics in those screenshots looked incredibly crappy and have always been happy it never came out.

But maybe that has something to do with the 20% finished thing.

Check your PM. It's 52+ MB. I have been working on a fun project for 2 years. :)

Yeah they have this over on the Turbo List as well as some other interesting unfinished games. Thanks for the scans though because it seems the quality is better than the one's at the Turbo List. Would've been nice to see this game come out (as well as Dino Force!).

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I agree with Nat, the game doesn't exactly look... good. :P I have a feeling it would be sort of like Super Mario RPG had it ever gotten finished.

Yeah, I always thought it looked like crap, as compared to the old "fake" Genjin RPG screens that were in a magazine a couple years earlier, which looked wonderful!

Steve- something's wrong with the file or link you sent. The size is only about 1.7k.


Yeah, it doesn't look that great but I'd still want to play it. I remember thinking back then please don't let them bring out this game with these nes looking graphics. Now, I kinda wish they had (even if japan only release). Actually I'm kinda surprised TTi didn't sub out a Bonk PRG project to some american company ( WD? ) for a US release. That would have made sense. Who's up for making a Bonk PRG game for PCE? Here-here....
