Bonk RPG

[jlued686]

I know this was in development back in the day but never got released.  However, does anyone know if there's any playable demo of it or if somebody ever did a homebrew version?  

Just curious.  Thanks.

[PCEngineFX]

Hi jlued686,

Thanks for the question - the Bonk RPG was reported to have been only 20% done before it was scrapped, and thus no playable demos or test versions were made.  For more info, check out this page:

[jlued686]

Thanks Aaron.  It would be cool if somebody picked up this project or developed their own version of it, eh?  

Bonk needs to have a comeback.  Let's hope the GCN and PS2 remakes are a sign of what's to come.

[BigusSchmuck]

This is some super necropost, but seriously is there a demo or anything out there or at the very least some partial code someone could perhaps pick up where it left off?

[ParanoiaDragon]

If there is, I've never seen it, nor heard of anyone that's hoarding it.

[rjardina]

I've been told it more like 45% complete, and was completely playable. Grafxs, sound, text and other detail were the things that were missing out of the last (beta) release. I've been told be two different sources it was place on a pc engine demo disc but was not assessable through the menu or a code. But was just a chunk of data place on the disc. If it real, someone would have to have the disc and dig through the date to find it, most likely not going to happen

This is all rumored of course.

[BigusSchmuck]

Well found some screenshots, not the best in the world but its stuff I haven't seen:

I've always thought something looked off about those screenshots. Most of them look like photos of a TV screen or monitor, but they look like mocks.

[ccovell]

The crappy-ass 8-bit RPG screenshots/maps are from the real thing (game demo that got cancelled.)

The beautiful cartoony battle/dialogue shots with large bone frames are mock-up artist's concepts -- NOT the real game.

[Arkhan Asylum]

The game looks pretty fun, but I am still not sure if it'd ever have worked out that great.  It's Bonk.  He needs to be an action game

I don't know. Hudson makes some entertaining RPGs.

What a load...

I heard a rumor that it was canceled because Enix sued them for copyright infringement soon before completion. There are 10,000 complete copies, but since they were unsellable they will be buried with Toshiyuki Takahashi.

There you go. Now everyone has just heard a rumor. Have fun with it.

[CrackTiger]

I would have loved a game based on the original mockups, but I wasn't looking forward to the game that actually began development.

The same woman that gave me a copy of "bonk: brink of extinction" is one of the people that told me that. See how she gave me a game that was never released I personally would believe her. Now of course this is my word, just adding my two cents. But then again only about half of the information on bonk is correct on the internet.

[jlued686]

Wait...how did she "give" you a copy of Bonk: BOE? On a disc? Say what? And considering how the team who made Bonk RPG had nothing to do with Bonk: BOE, I'd call your information suspect...at best.

Yeah, you know, the Bonk BoE demo ROM that he was going to make available for free on his website until we criticized it and he took it down because we don't share his passion but now he's going to message Aaron and put his website and the demo on a torrent and have a link to it on PCEFX sometime within a year when he drinks because that's when he works on it.  That ROM.

You were looking in the wrong place. What dose 'Bonk: BOE' and 'Bonk RPG' have in common? The publisher maybe, don't look at the developer.

[jlued686]

Right here, Dingleberry:

Now of course this is my word, just adding my two cents. But then again only about half of the information on bonk is correct on the internet.

So again I ask: what does Bonk RPG have to do with Bonk: BoE? Why would some random chick with a "copy" of BoE know jack or shit about Bonk RPG? And it'd be awesome if you could offer up some proof of your mysteriously gifted "copy" of BoE. Sorry for being a dick, but the whole thing smells like BS.

[TheClash603]

It is BS.  The funny thing is he is making up owning a piece of shit.  It would be like if I faked having Herpes to make you guys my friends.  BOE looked so bad.

you are absolutely right, believe as you wish

I think Bonk RPG would work just fine, as long as it was in the right hands.  I was worried about Super Mario RPG too, but that turned out great.  It just needs to be done in the correct way, as is the case with an RPG, or game for that matter.

You could prove us all wrong by simply posting any sort of proof. That's all I'm saying.

It looked like it could've been fun. But while Mario RPG had a unique battle system, making it a bit more action oriented, Bonk RPG (judging by the screens, at least) looked to be standard turn-based. Could've been cool, though.

[DrBread]

I found this with some screenshots (even though they look like shit) i don't think it was posted yet.

You're not the first noob to creep around pretending to have preposterous information/resources.  Stolen photos, posts chock full of typos, a locked thread, and the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't, attention-whore BS with your website don't leave you with much credibility.

I can understand some of your perspective, but stolen photos? You seem to have lost me on that one. Just cause someone takes the time to scan something in, it makes it their property? I would give credit to someone for their time for doing such an act. But it is not their property. I tried to contacted 'sunteam_paul' with no reply. I would say more then half the time I get not reply. But then again you seem to be replying to me just fine though. So me being an 'attention-whore' as you put it. I seem to have won, just by getting my reply knowing it works or getting attention.

[jlued686]

Again I ask: proof? Simple. Done.

LOOK AT ME I AM AN ATTENTION-WHORE. LOOK AT ME. Is that what you mean?

Yes, I am fully aware the only person I am entertaining is myself.

I can't tell if you're joking or just dense. Both?

Wow, way to ruin a good thread. I just wanted more information, not some crazy batshit drama sheesh.

The thread was already ruined when someone makes outlandish claims, yet fails to EVER show proof (typical).

Yeah, nothing useful was coming out of this thread.  This guy is a joke.  Lock it up!

[motdelbourt]

If I ever come across a rare prototype or somesuch, I'm going to troll the fuck out of message boards for months before releasing to the community, just to throw people off. Maybe have all my posts auto translated into Chinese for good measure, then back into English.

You don't seem to have tried very hard, considering you can PM me on this or many other forums, send a message via facebook or twitter, or email me directly. What did you do, put a message in a bottle and chuck it in the sea?

Also, you did ask about the scan in the thread after I pointed it out, to which I said it was fine and also gave you full permission to use anything else you wanted, with credit.

I'm very sorry I miscalculated, I did not take in count for the minor meteor shower that hit the moon, the gravitational pull was a little different that evening, which in turn throw off the normal oceanic waves, you may want to look southeast filthy-six and 13/6 paces down the beach, the bottle should be there. It's red with a big pink castus on it!

I tried emailing you (paul@pcengine.co.uk) without a reply. I asked you a few questions;

like where did you get the image? I know you wrote what magazine it came from.
Why is there a big square block that reads, "part of image missing"?
Were you the first person to scan this?
And why is my image I have one pixel bigger both height and weight, I know it sounds lame but someone edit it at some point.

Only if you post proof of owning Brink of Extinction.

This could get very interesting, what game is in the raffle?

Good luck with that. Aaron/PCEFX actually received a bit of official sanctioning from Hudson when the VC was launched, so this place isn't exactly off the map for Komami/Hudson and I'm sure they'd be thrilled to see you violate their copyright. Fortunately, you don't have it anyway.....AY, CARAMBA!!!!!  LOCO SOY YO!!!!  Hey, check me out at myspace.comfor some grrrreat  tribalero beatz!

That's the problem. My address has a yellow cactus. Pink is next door.

Needless to say, I never got that email. However, I will answer your questions.

Scan from PC Engine Fan I think, could be Gekkan or Marukatsu.

Why is there a big square block that reads, "part of image missing"?
Were you the first person to scan this?

Answer covers both: A friend and I wrote an article about the PC Engine for a UK gaming mag called Game Zone. We cut out a load of screenshots from Japanese magazines to send with the article. Unfortunately, the RPCGenjin bit was on the back of a page we cut into. So when I scanned it there was a hunk missing that I had to block over in photoshop.

And why is my image I have one pixel bigger both height and weight, I know it sounds lame but someone edit it at some point.

Maybe they did. Depends where you got it from.
