B.C. Kid (Europe) / Bonk's Adventure: Arcade Version (US, China, Korea) / Kyukyoku!! PC Genjin: Special Arcade Version (Japan)

Step into the prehistoric world of B.C. Kid (known as Bonk's Adventure in North America and Kyukyoku!! PC Genjin: Special Arcade Version in Japan), a vibrant platformer for two players. Take control of Bonk, a caveman who defends his home from dinosaurs and other creatures across 21 challenging stages. Players navigate scrolling environments using an eight-way joystick to jump and attack by headbutting enemies with his remarkably durable forehead—a core mechanic for both offense and defense. Bonk’s abilities can be temporarily enhanced by collecting meat power-ups, which grant him increasing strength and even invulnerability. Collecting fruits and vegetables restores health, while rare red hearts offer substantial healing. Cleverly managing these power-ups is key to surviving encounters with increasingly formidable foes, culminating in a boss battle at the end of each stage. Success in B.C. Kid isn't just about survival; it’s also about collecting “smiley” icons scattered throughout each level. These are tallied at stage completion and influence both score and celebratory animations. The game offers a playful, engaging experience for players looking for cooperative platforming action.
