How I won Super Bonk and Bonk's Revenge

[Koop]

Hey guys, my first post here. I apologize if this isn't in the right place!

I was recently digging through stuff after moving to my new place when I came across these guys! Still sealed NiB, though it looks like Super Bonk got a bit roughed up.

Funny story how I got them- I actually won them from Hudson USA when they were still in existence! Got both of them along with a T-Shirt for bonk brink of extinction which was cancelled. I was posting around on facebook trying to see what the games may be worth but I decided to do some digging and found almost all the information of the giveaway and thought I would share the story retold in pictures.

Here is the details of the contest:

Here is the story I wrote that won me the contest- every word true and how I feel to this day! I would do anything to go back to those days playing my brother's TG16.

I even found the old message when Hudson contacted me.

And hey, I still got the T-Shirt too!

Hudson USA really was full of great community outreach people. I truly do miss them.

And you know, I never did actually play/beat Super Bonk... Maybe I should just open it up and play it. ;)

Well a quick trip to the video game price chart which pulls sales off ebay and goes farther back seems to show that your GB game there is probably worth $200, maybe more as that one sold a month ago only, the last 2 were VGA trolls so no telling there. It comes up very rarely, those 2 vga trolls were from 2014. The SNES game probably due to the smashing anywhere in the $100-200 range, probably center to center high on that.

Cool story!
Believe it or not, both those games still exist today!!

I think you misunderstand, I was talking about the company that made them, Hudson, and how they basically do not exist anymore.

Great story, thanks for sharing.
That's really cool -- the kind of stuff that you remember for life :)

I never played Super Bonk yet either, but have been meaning to forever now. Maybe I'll crack mine open alongside ya, heh.
