I have to disagree regarding Bonk's presentation. The sprite design of Bonk is absolutely amazing, comical, and frankly startling. The various animations they gave the guy from climbing walls with his teeth to bug eyed foaming at the mouth death animations show a lot of attention to detail. I also appreciate the rather generous health bar the game gives you, and how fun it is to really nail a boss "juggle". The whole letter grading system seems more about rating a game based on how much money was invested in it's development these days (AAAA.... thank you for that MS), but I'd still rank the Bonk games pretty highly. Does it beat Mario? No, but I'd say it beats at least some of the Sonic games (definitely not S3&K though).
I'm well aware of the connector style and workarounds. Like I said, I have a plan for dealing with it. I'm probably going to get a Turbotap and mod it with a mini-din to allow all the US style controllers I might want. Did you mod your console yourself? It's a tricky bugger! I had a lot of help thanks to this: https://www.game-tech.us/product/turbo-d...n-mod-kit/
With RF gone, I'm going to finish with a mini-din for a/v out on there and I'm going to "map" the ports for a Genesis 2 style cable, for consistency with what I have.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
