Hardcore Genesis kids and Nintendo kids grew up debating if Mario games were better or if Sonic games were better.Meanwhile, the poor TG-16 kids were sitting in the corner with this piece of bland, barely playable dogshit, unable to contribute to the conversation because there was not a soul alive who would bother to entertain the argument that Bonk games were even remotely close to the quality of Sonic or Mario games.
>>12535934Bonk had some legit hype. It's just that no one actually had a TG16 to know it wasn't that good. And if you did have one you could probably just lie and say it was great and no one would know any better.
>>12535939I had a TG-16 and the game that gave you bragging rights was actually Splatterhouse. It was the unofficial Friday the 13th game everyone wanted and Nintendo was way too chickenshit to ever have a game where you punched aborted fetusesAlso, Bonk was decent for its time and Bonk's Revenge was actually really good so fuck you
>>12535934End of the day, nobody likes cavemen. Cavemen were just an excuse to have dinosaurs, which everyone likes. But Jurassic Park made damn sure that we'll never see cavemen be a popular thing again, since it showed there are other ways to feature Dinosaurs in your setting without those lame ass cavemen. Get fucked Bonk.
>>12535964Your nutsack was tiny for its time so fuck you
>>12535969Also the fact that it's been well established now that cavemen never crossed paths with dinosaurs and cavemen now are even less interesting because they only had mammoths and sabre tooth tigers.
>>12535964>Nintendo was way too chickenshit You say this yet the game was censored for the US release. No red blood for you kiddo
>>12535969>End of the day, nobody likes cavemenNot sure I agree, I remember a lot of kids at school LOVED Bubba from DuckTales, but to be fair he was a cave duck, not a cave man
>>12535969I loved cavemen. Encino Man was one of my favorite movies, Flintstones was fine too, caveman ninja turtles, the little caveman guy that came with the mighty max set. I know I wasn't alone. Jurassic Park did kind of kill the genre though. I loved jurassic park too, and suddenly it's modern tech vs dinos. I do miss club wielding barbarian being involved.
>>12536057>kids at school LOVED Bubba from DuckTalesNow I can't remember if I loved Bubba back in the day but on a rewatch a few years ago with my kiddos I can tell you that Bubba is very annoying and a huge constant fuck up. Should have left him in the past.
>>12535969>nobody likes cavemenYou watch your whore mouth, the caveman was the first class I ascended with in Nethack
>>12536102>HE DISCOVERED FIRE, IS WHAT HE DID. HE WAS A BRAVE CROMAGNON MAN, AND IN THIS HOUSE, UNGA BUNGA IS A HERO! END OF STORY!
>>12535934Hardcore attention whore kids who haven't grown up shitpost
>>12535934I rather play Bonk than Sonic 1.
>>12535964I had a PC Engine back when it was a pretty hype import system in Europe, and the big title everyone obsessed over was 100% R-Type.
>>12535969>cavemenscientific narrative to alter your perspective and outlook on life.
Sports games suck on this console
Tg16 fags are either the poor kid who had this nothing else or that rich kid who had this and everything else.
>>12535934Keith Courage was better
I get the feeling that the TG16 is a case where its relative lack of popularity has made modern day gamers inflate its quality. >oh, you like [popular Genesis game] or [popular NES/SNES game]? Hah, that's cute. For me it's [mediocre TG16 exclusive game that nobody would even pretend to care about if it had been published for another console]
>>12537123It's more that the consoles had fairly unique styles of games in those days and Turbografx stuff is quite different from the Genesis/SNES that people in the US would be used to. This gives it a little bit extra appeal.
>>12535934If you think about it without any context a cavebaby is a much better mascot than a fat italian-american plumber that needs to consume mushrooms in order to defeat some big dragon-turtle
>>12535934>blandIf anything, his games were too quirky to catch on in the west.
