After many attempts and failures i finally beat bonks adventure for gameboy. Its a decent conversion combining elements of both bonk's 1 and 2 from the turbo. timing is everything, once i got that down i did much better.
I kind of dismissed it as a second rate clone tbh, perhaps unfairly. does it compare well to the PCE versions?
Well, its kinda hard to compare really. its a portable game in black and white so no, in that regards its not even close. But for a portable the graphics are decent, the sound is decent, and the gameplay over all is actually spot on. The catch is you really have to be a portable lover and i am. If your not, your not gonna like it.
At least you can change the color palette on a GBA Advance or GC GBA adapter! Looks fun!

One of my dreams is to eventually work on making Turbo versions of the Bonks we didn't get, & improving them along the way. I already have ideas on how to redo alot of the music in the various games, to give them a sound that sounds like the first 2 Turbo Bonks.
more bonk is ok by me. would prefer a new game over a conversion, but hey beggars can't be choosers :)

I cherish your dream and will support you (and others) to bring it to fruition. :pcgs:
