No, you didn't see it because it wasn't there before. Someone added it (not me).

I vote for DEII, this game rocks hard core! Everything about just made me love it! I ordered mine from TZD and was told it was out of stock, then about 3 days later it came in the mail. I was soooo happy!!

Bomberman '93 - this would be the runner up. such a great game but really depends on multi-player to get the full effect. 
Bonk's Big Adventure - sadly I feel this is the worst in the series and it was starting to loose it's magic. 
lords of thunder - never was a fan of the shooter. it was ok to me.

Dungeon Master - never played this game
Exile: Wicked Phenomenon - never played this game 
Legend Of Hero Tonma - never played this game 
Magical Chase - never played this game 

always looking to buy mint turbo games. hit me up if you've got some!

You're nuts, although you aren't alone in that thought. There a few out there that think that way, but I can't understand it... Bonk 3 was the greatest of the Turbo entries. It brought together everything that was fantastic about the first two games and was innovative in it's own right with the 2-player co-op and big/small Bonk. It was also a huge game.

I'm going with Lords of Thunder, with Bonk 3 as the runner up.

I like the mechanics/gameplay/etc of Bonk 3. I just found the level design to be not nearly as great/fun as the first two games.

Agreed, the level design always threw away the feel of Bonk 3 for me. I also found the music to be disappointing. Still it's not a bad game though.

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

Its a compliment to say that its the worst Turbo Bonk game.

Funny, I think level design is one of Bonk 3's greatest features.  The first two are far more linear and offer few chances for exploration.

Exactly.

After playing through the first two adventures for the first time, I felt like I'd seen it all.

It took me many runs through Bonk 3 before I started to feel like there wasn't much left to explore. I still find secrets in that game from time to time I've never found before.

Bonk 3 is not A bad game,It just takes way to long to long to complete.I no Necromancer claimed he finished it in A hour and A half or something.I didn`t understand the whole deal of growing big and small.I found it annoying.I prefer Super Bonk for the snes over Bonk 3 for the turbo.Its basically the same game,the levels are just rearranged.That and it has those ultra cool mode 7 effects.

But even with 50% more memory (12 megs vs 8 megs) super bonk couldn't handle the large sprite  :P



I switched my vote from Magical Chase to Lords of Thunder , the best shooter eva.

Playing a Bonk game on a non-NEC system seems wrong to me.  I disliked the PS2 version, though it was neat only as a curiosity.
