ENDED - FREE RAFFLE: Bonk's Revenge (tg-16) - CONGRATS TO JEFFG!!!

[c0ldb33r]

At the pcenginefx.com forums, they'll frequently have free raffles for games - usually nothing fancy (although sometimes very fancy), just something to do for fun.

So, with the pcenginefx.com forums down, I thought it'd be fun to do the same thing here. Up for raffle is one copy of Bonk's Revenge. The game is loose and only comes with the plastic sleeve. The game works fine - I've beaten it myself. I'll also throw in one of the two stickers in the second picture - either (A) the horizontal colour tg16 sticker, or (B) the vertical black and white sticker.

RULES

• You must love the Turbografx-16
• You cannot already own the game
• You must have joined the forum November 1, 2011 or earlier
• You must have a post count of at least 100 - no garbage posts (if I don't recognize the username, I'll check recent posts)
• The raffle ends next Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 10:00 PM Atlantic time (9:00 PM Eastern)
• Shipping is free anywhere in Canada, USA or the United Kingdom - I'll ship the cheapest method possible - it's coming from Canada so may be slow. No bitching

HOW TO ENTER

• Post in this thread. Your must post something that you like about the PC Engine / Turbografx-16 / Duo, or any other NEC hardware (Supergrafx, PC-FX, etc...). In your post please confirm whether you'd like (A) the horizontal colour sticker or (B) the vertical black and white one. If you don't specify, I'll just pick one.
• If you joined before November 1st and have the requisite post count, I'll write your name below. I'll draw the name randomly next Sunday and announce the winner!

i will start it off

I like the best Zelda Rip Off out there Neutopia I & II
I dont' really need either of the stickers, just love to get a bonk game to play

[Tupin]

What do I love about the TurboGrafx-16? Well, I like a lot about it. I admire how a system with an 8-bit CPU can make games that look games look so good. Its library is awesome, and it did CD gaming very well. Though the US release of it was mishandled by NEC, a lot of good games did come out here. Of course, the PC Engine library is one of the best in gaming history and I keep finding fun games to play.

Oh, and the TurboGrafx-16 compared to a PC Engine is hilariously oversized, a testament to America in the late 80's/early 90's.

I would like the vertical black and white one. What are those stickers from, are they custom made?

[tpugmire]

I like that the TG-16 is sort of an oddball system. I don't know anyone personally that has one besides me, and only a handful have ever heard of it.

I'd like the horizontal sticker.

[mobiusclimber]

I loved being blown away by how advanced the games looked compared to the NES, and how gory Splatterhouse was for the time.

[Visc]

Alien and Devil Crush. Fantastic games on the TG-16, any my favorite reason for having the system.

[VertigoProcess]

I better get posting...

[Baloo]

I'm game!

The TG-16 is quite a quirky system and has some awesome shmups. Shame that the games are so hard to find for it!

Also, this is an awesome idea for the forums coolb33r!

[Cornelius]

I was lucky enough to pick up a SuperGrafx off Craigslist quite some time ago. It came with Daimakaimura which plays great even though I suck at it. I also find the supergrafx design to be cool and kind of funny. It is so mechanical looking, like it could be an auto part or something. I guess I could go on, but lastly the Hu-card is just a damn cool format. Much more elegant than big bulky carts (though I love those, too).

I dig the horizontal sticker (A).

[jb143]

Sure, I'm in. Sounds fun.

What I like about the TG-16 is how it fits right in between 8 bit and 16 bit...how it's both and neither, and gives the games a completely different feel than other systems. I also like introducing people to it the system. Most have never heard of it, and those who have usually only have a vague recollection of it and are exited to play.

[jcalder8]

For me I love the tg16 because it's different. The look of the cards blew my mind when I was young. Going from carts like the NES to the slim small carda was awesome. Thek actually playing the games and seeing that they were the same graphical quality made me wonder why the SNES cartridges were so big.

[Niku-Sama]

I'm like some of the other here and like how they used the cards and managed to get all that info and better looking games into something like that to me is amazing for the technology at the time

[Balloon Fight]

I'm in!

I love the TG16 because aside from my obvious favorites as Devil's Crush and Military madness, it has the best Tennis game for any system out there with World Court Tennis. And I don't even like sports games.

I like the horizontal one.

[The Shawn]

I frigging hate the TG-16!

Why don't you raffle off some good Canadian beer or something?

[c0ldb33r]

I frigging hate the TG-16!

Bastard!

Great posts guys keep em coming. Im digging all the tg16 love.

[thegamezmaster]

I've loved the tg-16 since it first came out. Loved the games for it and still have one but not Bonk's Revenge. Always loved Bonk. In a class by it's self. wish they still made games for it. Always have fun when I play my tg-16. I like the squareish sticker myself. Reminds me of when it was sold. Ah glory days! Great idea and thread!

[Pete Diak]

This guy is cool...

[megasdkirby]

Something I really liked about the TG16 was the capacity of the Hucards themselves compared to those on the SMS. SMS cards were "simple" by nature, while hucards we artistic-ly superior: graphics, sound, gameplay...you name it.

I specially loved the remake of Wonderboy III...plays just as perfect as its SMS counterpart while improving on many elements of the original. Man I love that game.

[Oobgarm]

I have fond recollections of the Turbo Express...playing it in junior high school thanks to a buddy of mine. Bonk's Revenge was actually the first game I played on it, followed by Devil's Crush. I loved it so much that the TG16 was my first "obscure" gaming system. I never did get Bonk's Revenge, though I did get Devil's Crush and Alien Crush.

Also, vertical logo is winrar.

[BenG76]

I dont need the game. I already have it. I just wanted to say I love my TG-16 and my PC Engine. I also wanted to say that its awesome of you to give the game away.
