Retro Game of the Week 017: FC Genjin(FC)

Well another week and another edition of retro game of the week. This time around I'm basing it off a game for the Famicom/NES that I just got in the mail not long ago. FC Genjin(Bonk's Adventure) for the Famicom is surely one not to miss. The game is your typical platformer that's unique in many ways. In this game, you take control of umm Bonk which is a big headed cave boy!




Anyways, here we go with the game! The game like I said is your usual platfomer. Probably the best part is when you find a piece of meat and eat it! Then Bonk goes crazy! Kinda of like the star power in Super Mario Bros. Afterward, Bonk stays in a tan color which gives him more powers. You can you Bonk's head to create an earthquake and destroy all the monsters that are currently in the screen. Your powers will be gone in no time so you have to use them to your advantage. The game plays a lot like say Joe and Mac for the same console. So I'm hoping this is enough to make you guys pick it up unique title. I'm sure that the TG-16 fans will agree the superiority of the Bonk games for that console. Since I haven't played them, I can't make a comparison. Hopefully, one day I will be able to pick those games up(even though I had the chance at a flea market and let it go....). Until next time!
