Bonk’s Revenge (GB)
GameFAQs credits the developer as "AI," who had done the NES port of Bonk's Adventure the year before (1993 in Japan, January 1994 in the States, the NES's last year--the cart for that now goes for four figures on eBay). In those years AI were mostly doing a lot of console ports. They went on to do, among many other things, four Bomberman games, each on a different Nintendo platform. In their later years--ending in 2013--they focused on Nintendo handhelds.
The game's cartridge sticker and title screen, though, credit just "Red," which would be short for Red Company--also on the title screen of PC Genjin 2, even though GameFAQs credits a small company called Mutech for that one. (They credit Hudson for Bonk's Adventure on both GB and TG16, and for Bonk 3.)
Mobygames lists Special Thanks to "People of Hudson & Red and you!"

a story about video game preservation
The original reason I was interested in the GB Operator is because my Pokemon GSC cartridges had their CMOS batteries die, so the saves disappeared along with the clock functionality. Thankfully, this does not extend to every GB game I own (besides Pokemon Yellow, which I have no idea how that one corrupted, RIP), but I do know that, in general, physical media can't last forever, so I've been interested in how to preserve the rest of what I own...
Now that I have the Operator, this has all been done, but this was not without the terrible tragedy of the aforementioned Pokemon games. I've been with Pokemon since RBY, but GSC is when it felt like a truly huge phenomenon, when I'd chat up random kids and trade with them, etc...
...and more importantly, when I'd start fudging things a little, and cheat. Shh.
This is where our story begins.
During those RBY days, I was vaguely aware of kids using Gamesharks and whatever to hack their teams and Pokedex. I'm fairly certain one of my elementary school friends was doing just that--he'd trade me max level starters, Dragonites, even Mew, etc., when I knew, reasonably, that it didn't make sense he had all of these. There was no breeding yet!! How did he convince someone else to give up their own starter Pokemon?! I never asked him about it, and he moved away, but it's always been in the back of my mind.
Fast forward a couple years after GSC came out. I'm like 11. I see this thing at GameStop:
The Pelican BrainBoy. This is my own photo from today. I have dug this out just for you. (NOTE: The "colorizer" button was so you could apply your own custom palettes into GB games, which was a pretty cute feature, looking back.)
This baby basically let you do anything to Pokemon RBY/GSC, at least as far as Pokemon were concerned. You could modify anything--nicknames, gender, EXP, movesets, etc. It was especially funny throwing the results into Pokemon Stadium and seeing Pokemon Fly or Surf that normally couldn't.
I usually played it pretty low-key though, just marking my Pokedex as complete and raising my 'mons to level 100, because fuck grinding. Reading up about this thing at present though, and I hear stories of people hacking Pokemon to distribute at recess for all their friends...lmao. Why didn't I do any of that?!
I always regretted the Pokedex bit, though, since that wasn't something you could take back. I was really proud of completing all 151 in Blue (though with the help of said suspect-of-cheating friend above), and never had the patience to fill a Pokedex in any game again. Even if I had thrown that challenge out, I still kind of wish I had like…the organic proof of how far I had gotten. Oh well!
(The site does not lead anywhere nowadays. I just checked.)
Anyway, this shit looked absolutely ugly already, but it looks doubly ugly jutting out of a GBA SP. The GB cart goes in upside-down on the other side of the device, creating a monstrosity basically as long and as thick as the SP itself.
I hadn't actually touched the BrainBoy since RSE came out. There was no need to. I had long lost my GSC saves, which still stung. There was still a lot of "me" left behind there. Gold was when I first built a team using entirely what I liked aesthetically, whereas in RBY I was mostly following what seemed the coolest and most powerful. Even though I hacked the Pokedex, the Pokemon in my PC were still all ones I caught organically. I even caught my first shiny, a Spearow! (It only looked one shade different, back then, and I was so disappointed I never evolved it.) Crystal and Silver were more my "anything goes" carts, where I did the majority of my goofy tinkering.
After the batteries died, the only evidence of these games were my teams that I had imported into Pokemon Stadium 2. In some ways it made it hurt more, since the personal decorated bedroom also showed up there after importing a game.......I really loved that feature, lmao. All of that was now just a reminder of nostalgic times I can't even revisit for funsies.
I boot the BrainBoy partially because I want to see if the GB Operator can back it up (it can't; it just detects the cart attached to it), and also to hear the absolutely asinine, obnoxious menu music that bored its way into my brain back then.
God I did not miss that menu music.
But then I notice something.
Huh?
(anime girl voice) EEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!??!?
Oh god, I didn't remember this feature at all! Please please please let 11 year old me be as smart as I hope she is PLEASE--
OUGHAURYGHUHARGHHUHRJHUAYRH JACKPOT
IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE?!
At this point I am basically screaming. All along, my prodigal save file was hiding away in some cheat device I bought on a whim 20 years ago. I had previously contemplated throwing out the BrainBoy MULTIPLE TIMES, since I had no use for it anymore.
BUT I GUESS. I DID ACTUALLY HAVE A USE FOR IT. I JUST. FORGOT?
Honestly, it's likely I just didn't even think of it as a backup device, and used the feature exactly once, just because it was there. I had no idea the clock batteries running out meant the death of your save. I didn't even know those carts had special batteries. I was just here to hack Mew and Celebi into my games. It's no wonder I forgot about it.
I have no idea when these save snapshots were taken, but they seem to have everything I remember. I wasn't really fucking around with my Gold cart until after I beat Red, at least.
Of course, the battery still being dead in the cart means that it doesn't "stick" and still can't be backed up (since turning off the console to put the cart in the GB Operator nukes it), but this is so much more than I ever expected to see again. Like, an actual fucking time capsule. These Pokemon could never escape the GB era; meanwhile, Pokemon from RSE and up could still exist in a game today. It just never felt quite fair to let RBY/GSC be subjected to a slow death of dead batteries and bit rot.
What a surprise this turned out to be!!
And the biggest surprise of all:
I had no idea I nicknamed my first shiny. Her name is Shinygirl.......I kind of got emotional. Shinygirl...!! 😭😭😭
WELL THEN.
I immediately ordered the special kind of screwdriver you need to open up a GB cartridge. Going to pop some fresh batteries in, flash the save through the BrainBoy, and finally preserve these forever!
Moral of the story...always check things before you consider throwing them out. One last time can't hurt.
PS: Pokemon Yellow also had a backup, which is great, because as I said before, I have no idea how that cart erased itself. Maybe I accidentally powered off while saving or something?? But it has no fiddly clock battery, so the cart's holding my save again.
PPS: If you're still here, behold! The Operator also has preserved my old GB Camera pics, which was also shocking to me, because that's another cart I thought erased itself:
????!?!??!?!?!?!??!???!??? We HAD digital cameras...but I deliberately took vacation photos of Yellowstone with the GB Camera, because I was 12 and that's what 12 year olds do when they have a funny toy.
I SWEAR to GOD I distinctly remember, like around college I wanna say, digging out the GB Camera, wanting to revisit that, and being devastated because there were no photos in the gallery. And yet here they are. I didn't even do anything. Magic.
Thank you GB Operator. Thank you Pelican BrainBoy. Wow.

I've been sorting the massive amount of files I've carted over from computer to computer over the last ... uh, 15 years or so (already cleared out about 12 GB through duplicates alone!).
I just found a folder full of photos of golden age movie stars for my Silm Old Hollywood fancast I was doing yeaaaars ago, including the Valar I'd already cast (where I stopped) but also some that I'd selected for other characters (e.g. a bunch of Hedy Lamarr for Lúthien).
Lots of family photos of my cousins etc.
Austen fanart and some vids I'd downloaded! I'm kind of amused because I had made a modern AU Darcy/Emma icon for nefarious purposes, haha.
And there's a ton of fantasy art from Elfwood(!) that I'd downloaded back in my early 20s. I'm not sure all of it even exists on the Internet any more.

I’ll have the Neapolitan cappuccino, More Cappa than Chino. Make sure it's got no more than 4oz of milk, The beans won't have the right texture otherwise. And make sure they spell my name correctly on the cup. They always put Voxxie or Roxy. I hate that. if you can't handle that, I'll have a Venti Traditional Misto. Please use soy milk with two blonde shots, adffogato and Ristretto . I'd also love three vanilla pumps at the very bottom. Then add the coffee after.
lemme think about that one...
yea no we dont sell that on this askblog
GB, CART IT OFF!!

It's so bizarre that across every handheld system that Nintendo has ever produced from the original gray brick Game Boy all the way up to the present day with the Switch OLED, literally the only one that didn't have a headphone jack was the GBA SP. Why did they leave it out of that one and only that one specifically.
It's doubly annoying because the SP is otherwise the definitive Game Boy - it's the only device that can play original GB and GBC carts that also has a rechargeable battery and a backlit screen (aside from third-party hardware like the Analogue Pocket), so the omission of such a basic feature that literally everything else has is mind-boggling lmao
#I'm just mad cause I got a GBA flashcart recently and I've been playing it on my childhood SP and that's been annoying me lmao#been considering getting an Analogue Pocket to get a more premium experience overall#and it would be nice to have a second GBA so I could trade Pokemon between games#but there's an additional problem there#that being that I only have wireless adapters rather than a link cable and the wireless adapters don't fit with the Analogue Pocket ofc#so I'd also have to shell out for a link cable for that to work

that was definitely a mario game i guess
i used to own the gb cart for this Back In The Day but i was 9 and also a half wit so i never beat it and just sorta played levels here and there but i needed something to cheer me up today so i played this on nso
it probably took me like between 60-90 minutes to beat? im not complaining because it was fun and its an old game but i have my gripes with it... main one being the glidey ass controls; every level couldve been an ice level
but regardless! i have a lot of nostalgia for this game and i enjoyed playing it. platformers have never really been my strong suit but im ever so slowly getting better at them... maybe someday soon my cave story playthroughs wont end in Prefab Building...
