Is this game that rare? They're aren't any going for sale on ebay except for a few Japanese versions and any American thing related to the game is just the case and manual and they are going for hundreds of dollars. Found this at play n trade unfortunately it was just the hu card and no case

Really? I hesitate to say too much, but I have Bonk 3 complete in box (as well as Soldier Blade).

I sold my BONK 3 Super CD on Ebay for around $350 a few months ago. So yeah its rare.

Not bad, but you could have gotten the pc enigne version complete for cheaper. You could also have gotten a turbo flash cart for about 80$.
Its a rare game, but the cd version is rarer and worth quite a bit more.

I believe the Super CD version is rarer than the Turbochip version, but both are pretty rare. I haven't kept up with values but the Turbochip version should still be over $100 even loose.

Are the first two games better? Reason I'm not too fond of this one is firstly the level design is kinda....boring and secondly it seems like the gameplay is get candy....get big....get small.....rinse and repeat. It's actually quite annoying I seem to keep bumping into them without even wanting either. Are the other two similar or not so much

Ive played bonk 3 a little bit and its ok, I understand where you are coming from. I felt the same way when I played it for the first time. It grows on you the more you play it.
I have played bonk 2 (bonks revenge) alot more and this one is probably my favorite out the the 3. Very fun to play and great music.
The first bonk game is good but being one of the earlier turbo games its a little more simplistic than bonk 2 or 3.
Bonk 1 and 2 are similar to bonk 3 but they are different. Id consider Bonk 2 a must have for a turbo grafx collector.

I have the Super CD version. Great game. The music is awesome on Super CD. I've heard the music from the hu-card version and it's a big step down from Bonk 2. Sad.

While I'm not saying that it isn't rare, value and rarity are not synonymous.
