From the Turbografx-16/PC-Engine came bonk, known as PCKid by his Japanese fans. This here techno-jungle flavored remake of the first stage theme from his first adventure has a bit of an xmas flair to it, and is dedicated to the recent comeback of MagicEngine, a superfragilistic tg-16 emu.
Discussion: Latest 12 comments/reviews; view the What a quirky mix - I guess my biggest problem with this one is
that it sounds pretty empty throughout, probably due to the
distinct lack of midfrequency stuff. It's pretty lighthearted, but
I'm not sure I'd associate this with any type of Christmas.

i'm not too big on the individual synths but when you put them all
together it makes for some nice textures. 2:30-3:00 is the
strongest part of the song imo.
christmas, wat?

Upbeat, cute, but I do not detect Christmas. The name confuses
me.
Every instrument distorts, and not in a bad way. Very interesting, and unique.
Nice work.

A really fun mix that I like, though there is some sort of piercing
high frequency percussive hit that hurts if the volume is up too
high. Though it has a WTFesque name, it has a lot of cool synths
and some fantastically rolling rhythms. I don't necessarily think
"cave man" when I hear it, but I do think of light-hearted fun, and
that translated well into the Bonk world. Stuff like wandering
around, bustin' up stuff with your gianourmous head, eating meat
that has been lying on the ground for who knows how long, chillin
with the cave ladies; that kind of thing. If Bonk had a low rider,
you know he'd be bumpin to this all day long.

The title from this remix is ironic. 'Prehistoric Xmas'.
At that time they commemorated the birth of Jesus? I don´t believe in this.
Amused remix. But is not something great. Mainly when compared with other Djpretzel works.

Although I don't hear anything much that gives off a Christmas-y
feeling, it's a great happy, feel-good mix that's very fun to
listen to, whatever time of the year it is. Cool and fun mix, I
give it a 9/10.

coooool, this is one funky little mix, although it took awhile for
me to link up the mix with the beat from the original T-16 music.
Very jumpy and happy just like the music for Bonk's should be!
um....i don't feel much Xmas jolly coming outta the tune though,
instead it seems to have some Chinatown flavour to it, haha. DL
this mix people!
ps: when i said 2nd coolest caveman, it's because the guy from Legendary Axe 1 is the BEST!

A techno ReMix that, in my opinion, sounds almost like an
orchestral piece with the beat cranked up, and all the instruments
fed through some kind of funky "Electroniconizer". It has a very
light, ambivalent to life kind of feel, and made me feel all
nostalgic, in a "Remember all those great games you played when you
were a kid. Back in the days of 2D..." kind of way. It really gets
great in the second half, with a greater emphasis on the drawn out
notes and the fast-ish beat in the background. By the end, I am
always left with the silence for a mement, deep in thought, almost
mesmerised.

Bonk's Adventure 'Prehistoric Xmas'
This is the second piece of music I heard here at OC. This was created back in the old days of DJ Pretzel and Fresh Greens. Yes, DJP used to be schizo and thought he was two different people, until he killed the Fresh Greens guy. Boy has DJP come a long way since this. I don't quite get the "X-Mas" connection, but virtually every instrument warps and distorts as it plays. You can hear some potential here. I really like the second half of the song.
