The
cute game Pengo has quite a few conversions available
for the 64. This version from Anirog is the best by
far, and is copied down to the minutest detail.
Petch
puts you in the snowshoes of a penguin who is having
the misfortune of being chased around an ice cube-filled
playing area. You can shunt the cubes around and sling
them at the pursuing Snow Bees, squashing them with
a satisfying 'squelch'.
There
are also three magic cubes on the playing area: push
these together in a line for a 5,000 or 10,000 point
bonus. A bonus is awarded for speedy disposal of the
baddies, and in between screens, while your time bonus
is calculated, a set of penguins will do a little dance
for you.
Sound and graphics are identical to the arcade original,
even if they are slightly slower. A nice tune, Popcorn,
plays throughout the game and doesn't become annoying.
