A perky use of the computer's limited sound, and a general attention to detail hallmark the craftsmanship by which Ocean has commendably stuck by, and it must be admitted that this is the best Pengo version around. Read Review
I know the Arctic isn't a very colourful place being, for the most part, covered in white! However, I do feel that more colour could have been used throughout the game. Read Review
Very good graphics with neat detailed touches. Read Review
Interesting to begin with... but I quickly lost interest. Read Review
It lacks the addictive quality of its arcade cousin because every time you flatten a bug, he comes back immediately, and very angry, making the game rather pointless. Read Review
The first is a simple affair in which you have to dodge a couple of polar bears. Unfortunately, every time you lose out on part two you have to go through part one again. Read Review
A disappointing production from Ocean Software. Read Review
Eddie must rescue Percy from the clutches of the Polar Bear, then help Percy battle his dire enemy - the Snowbug!
First, rescue Percy from the clutches of Growler the Polar Bear. Follow Eddie the Eskimo around the screen and with skill you can survive the Arctic battle. Percy must now defend himself against the deadly snowbugs, pushing the iceblocks for protection. Each time he thinks he's won, the bugs get nastier!
Good Luck!
