Name: Pengo
Author/Vendor: Sega
Released: 1995
Type: Action
Language: English and Japanese combined text
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)
Recommended Emu: KGen 98
