Pengo (ペンゴ) is a 1982 arcade game developed by Sega and Coreland and published by Sega. It stars Pengo the penguin who must defeat all the "sno-bees" on screen by pushing ice blocks. Its main music track is extremely similar to the 1969 synthpop instrumental Popcorn.

Ports

The game was ported to the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Commodore 64 and Sega Game Gear (where it was one of three launch titles for the system in Japan, along with Columns and Super Monaco GP). An enhanced version was later released for the Mega Drive in the form of Pepenga Pengo. There were also numerous clones, such as Pengi for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron.

A 2010 version of Pengo was recently released for Sega RingWide arcade hardware, adding 8-player support and a higher definition resolution.

Pengo the Penguin was recently found as an unused model in Sonic the Fighters.
