My old Avatar was (obviously) Yuusuke Sagami from ESP Ra.De.
My new one is an untitled painting by the recently deceased surrealist master painter Zdzislaw Beksinski.

My avatar is Bonuskun. As far as I know, Bonuskun has only shown up in two games, Galaxy Fight and Waku Waku 7.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 11:14 pm

I've been meaning to ask, is that an "official" Bonus-Kun image, or is it fanart? He's got to be one of my favorite fighting game characters, just the concept of a punching bag that punches back is great...now we just need a crossover game wherein he and the mighty Dan Hibiki can face off.

And in case anyone cares, since my last post here I've changed my avatar to the cartoon icon Wile. E. Coyote from Looney Tunes, whose luck with explosive devices, onscreen and off, is about as good as mine.

Somebody needs to play Astra Superstars, the 3rd game in the Sunsoft fighter "trilogy"...

Anyway, my avatar is of Ganelon from Warsong, perhaps better known by diehard SRPG fans as Bosel from the Langrisser series.

Duke Nukem and Lara Croft from the cover of NEXT GENERATION magazine. The lead article was about sex in gaming.

We should have a topic on people's screen names.

CUGEL is a character from Jack Vance's EYES OF THE OVERWORLD and CUGEL'S SAGA. If you're not familiar with Jack Vance read about him here:

And CUGEL is pronounced KOO-GUL.

My current avatar is Abadon from Gradius 2 MSX. Not sure it turned out too well so I might go back to the Seven Heroes one...

We did have one some time back, though I'm not sure if it's a few pages back on this forum or was on one of the previous versions.

Is Bonus-Kun in that? I've seen one hidden character "Test-Kun," but I've no idea about any other secrets besides him...info on this game is as hard to find as the game itself is!

Mine is the black guy from the onion's 'what do you think?' I don't read the Onion that often anymore, but he has a funny face.

I just went for something different... so my current avatar is a screen cap of Mirage from the Disney Alladin TV series.

You know.. cause when I get angry at a game for a WTFJHM, my eyes glow green... and stuff...

Err, my bad, yeah, Test-kun. Dammit, I remember now; he's just made of lines. I was so sure I had seen a 3D Bonus-kun somewhere though...but again, my mistake.

Mine is now a close up of my Eva 04 Unit. I hope I can get a Specineff figurine so I can take a pic of him and use as av here. That way my life will be complete.

At first sight my avatar might not seem to be any relation to "shmups"... but it does... it's a photo of a Truxton 2 PCB

I did a photo of the broken "jamma hk" chip... bigger size photo here.

For some reason, the EVA-04 in your avatar reminds me of Grey Fox from MGS...maybe it's just me.
