While there is no official "online" version of the 1997 classic platformer
You cannot find a official, modern cloud-hosted version of Bonkheads on mainstream platforms like Steam or GOG. However, you can still experience the full game through dedicated retro archiving communities.
But playing it "full" today hits different. It’s a reminder of a time when the games industry was the Wild West; when a small team could make a game about two trolls head-butting slugs in a cave, release a third of it for free, and let the internet do the rest.
But Bonkheads didn’t play like Mario or Sonic. There was no "jump on the head" mechanic here. Instead, the game was built around . To kill an enemy, you had to be standing on solid ground, hold the spacebar to charge a heavy "stomp," and slam down with enough force to shake the screen. If you tried to stomp while jumping? You’d just bounce off.
Bonkheads is an arcade-style platform game heavily inspired by classics like Mario Bros. and Bubble Bobble . The premise is simple but highly addictive: : Clear every level of invading monsters.
: Major checkpoints pit you against massive bosses like Shrew-Man-Chew , T. Wrecks , and D. Evil .
Encounter the full array of deadly obstacles.
Here are the safest and most effective methods to experience the full version of the game today. Method 1: In-Browser Emulation (No Download Required)

You play as one of two troll brothers—Talon and Grag—tasked with cleaning up the "Underworld." The premise is simple: monsters have invaded the subterranean depths, and it is your job to exterminate them.

The term “sexual orientation” is loosely defined as a person’s pattern of romantic or sexual attraction to people of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, or more than one sex or gender. Laws that explicitly mention sexual orientation primarily protect or harm lesbian, gay, and bisexual people. That said, transgender people who are lesbian, gay or bisexual can be affected by laws that explicitly mention sexual orientation.
“Gender identity” is a person’s deeply-felt inner sense of being male, female, or something else or in-between. “Gender expression” refers to a person’s characteristics and behaviors such as appearance, dress, mannerisms and speech patterns that can be described as masculine, feminine, or something else. Gender identity and expression are independent of sexual orientation, and transgender people may identify as heterosexual, lesbian, gay or bisexual. Laws that explicitly mention “gender identity” or “gender identity and expression” primarily protect or harm transgender people. These laws also can apply to people who are not transgender, but whose sense of gender or manner of dress does not adhere to gender stereotypes.
