CX-5236. Rarity 3 Scarce. North America NTSC. 1 player or 2 players alternating. Only one trak-ball controller is needed for 2 player games. If trak-ball mode is used; both player take turns using it. In controller mode, player 1's controller is plugged into port 1, and player 2's in port 2.
The home version of Arcade Pengo. The red penguin is named Pengo. Overhead maze of ice blocks he's trapped in, is located at the south pole. Sno-Bees (unrelated to insect bees) hatch from eggs in snow blocks and are to be avoided until they are stunned by Pengo kicking a nearby side wall. Lining up diamond blocks horizontally or vertically will stun them all and earn extra points. Use the button to kick blocks across the screen or into other blocks. Any Sno-Bees in the path are smooshed, even if they are inside a snow block. Eliminate the Sno-Bees.
