Bonk’s Adventure, known as PC Genjin in Japan, PC Kid and B.C. Kid in Europe, is a scrolling platform game developed by Red Company and Atlus and released in 1989 in Japan and 1990 in North America for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16. The Japanese title PC Genjin is a play on the system’s original name, PC Engine, with the European title PC Kid similarly referencing the system’s name. The first game in the Bonk series, it was followed by two more games for the TurboGrafx-16 before branching out to other platforms.

Bonk yourself out in this head-buttin’, head-splittin’ adventure. As Bonk the Caveman, use your head against Kongo Zilla, Tractorhead and the wackiest array of prehistoric foes ever seen. Be sure to eat your meat-and-vegetables as you power-up to battle Evil King Drool himself. It’s a real headbanger!
