Today I'm looking at one of gaming's lesser known mascots - Bonk! I review the original Bonk's Adventure on TurboGrafx-16 as well as look at a bit of history of the console to explain why Bonk never made it big in North America like Mario or Sonic.

*Bonk's Adventure (TG-16) was played and recorded on an the original TG16 hardwre with a Hauppauge HD PVR Rocket.

Footage from Bonk's Adventure on NES and Gameboy, as well as AirZonk are from World of Longplays - https://www.youtube.com/user/cubex55
