Hudson's PC-Kid on NES. The bald caveman fights with his skull, with irresistibly funny results. Original mechanics and explosive atmosphere. Underrated compared to the PC Engine version.

1993 NES port of Hudson's PC Engine mascot, released very late in the console's life as attention had already shifted to 16-bit, hence a reduced US run. The cartridge is sought as a curiosity: seeing Bonk, the emblem of a rival platform, land on the NES at the tail end remains a prized anomaly. Desirability combines that late-release scarcity with the icon status of a mascot rarely tied to the Nintendo machine.
Is Bonk's Adventure still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer from Hudson Soft, Bonk's Adventure stars a big headed caveman who attacks by biting and headbutting, across colourful prehistoric levels full of dinosaurs. The cartoon charm, the original head attack and the good natured tone give a real personality to this PC-Engine emblematic platformer, here adapted on NES. The handling stays pleasant. For a retro platforming fan, a fan of Hudson's mascot or someone curious about an offbeat adaptation, the title keeps a prehistoric charm and a definite pleasure.
