Pengo

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

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)
