Based on the old arcade favourite Pengo, this game features Percy Penguin on the run from a bunch of unpleasant penguin-hungry snow monsters. The monsters have chased Percy back to his garden. You must prevent Percy from being eaten and, at the same time, protect three priceless diamonds, also in the garden.

The screen is filled with large melting ice blocks to be used to crush the furry fiends. The top of the screen displays the number of monsters on your trail and whenever one is crushed the number is reduced. However, the monsters do not disappear altogether but quickly re-materialise, so don't be fooled into thinking you've mastered the game by simply crushing the snow monsters. It is only when the display reads zero that you can progress to the next stage.

Bonuses are awarded if you manage to defeat the monsters within 60 seconds but you can also progress to the next stage by surviving attack for two minutes. If you manage to arrange the diamonds in a straight row then you get a bigger bonus, but this is not as easy as it seems.

Panic Penguin is rather slow and the graphics tend to flicker but it is by no means a bad game and well worth a go.
