Thanks. It's do for an update. The current version isn't up to date
(my ISP's server died) and my backup wasn't up to date. Not to mention
that the version was missing already about 10 games.

Sound does seem to take a big importance for me with games. I can't
play a game without its sound. I guess it's a reason why it took a
while for me to actually start buying HuCards. [For the first year, I
stuck mostly to (S)CD's.]
As for not liking platform games, a point raised by someone else. I
enjoy platform games a lot. A few of my friends have actually
christened platform games as "Stephane Games". I really wanted to like
Bonk, but apart from the sound, I just found that it was missing a lot
of action. "Jackie Chan: Action Kung Fu", "New Adventure Island" and
"Yoshimoto Comedy" seem to keep my interest for much longer.
Granted "New Adventure Island" is much more limited in concept, and has
a lot of cheap shots. But, I guess it adds to the challenge of the
game. ;)

I'll keep that in mind.

Hahah... :)
I don't mind Bonk as a mascott, and I would have liked to have seen Bonk
RPG and the Bonk Arcade Game... I think though, that I would have liked
Bonk better if it was in the "Joe and Mac" mold. ;P
