Premise: |
It's the standard save-the-world plot, except in this incarnation you play
a cute blue penguin whose primary weapon is kicking things, like ice blocks, at his foes.
A 16-bit update of a beloved arcade classic. |
Impressions: |
Classic arcade gaming fans and Bomberman fans will love
this single-player game, that while similar to Bomberman in overall style
lacks its spontenaiety and fast-paced gameplay. It can get challenging, though, especially
in the later rounds. Hours and hours of mindless fun, and a must for any true gamer's
collection. |
Variations: |
Penga (Japanese release, the kana in the game title
actually translates as Pa-Penga) |
