The protagonist is a bald caveman named Bonk who attacks using his comically large head.
[2] As stated on Hudson Soft's website, in their "The Definitive Bonk" article, Bonk was originally created as a comic character, PC Caveman (Genjin), in a magazine for the PC Engine.
A variation of the TG-16 original eventually appeared on the NES with fewer colors and reduced graphic quality.
Bonk's Revenge (PC-Genjin 2 in Japan, PC Kid 2 in Europe) was released for the TurboGrafx-16 in 1991, while a completely different game using the same name made it to the Game Boy, the TurboGrafx-16 version was re-released for Windows on December 13, 2013, and the Wii U Virtual Console on March 12, 2014, in Japan.
Super Bonk was later re-released for Nintendo's Virtual Console in Japan on November 16, 2010, the PAL region on December 10, and in North America on April 4, 2011.
Same Game (PC Genjin Version) (鮫亀(PC原人版)), released on iPhone OS on 2008 in Japan, is part of Do the Hudson!!.

[6] The TurboGrafx-16 version of Bonk's Adventure was released for the Virtual Console service at its launch on November 21, 2006.
VB Genjin was planned for the Virtual Boy, with a former Hudson Soft employee stating that he played Virtual Bomberman as reference during development but the adaptation was scrapped due to the commercial and critical failure of the platform.
