Help Pengo to defeat all the Sno-Bees that go behind him while he crosses all the mazes. Squash them with the ice blocks or stop them temporally using the screen borders. Don't let them to use their sting on you!

Why Pengo?

Without any doubt, if you ever asked me which game I'd like to see/play on MSX, my reply would be easy: Pengo.

Since I was a kid my desire was always play this game on MSX as I did on the original arcade machine. And finally I got the knowledge and resources to make it myself. After some years of development, Pengo finally was a reality for MSX. So I'm happy to invite you to try the free version (and buy the game if you like it!).

MSX version features:

- Screen scroll to keep the cockpit view from the original arcade without loosing game area.
- You can change the game's Dip Switches.
- Hi-Score and game config saving on the cartridge.
- Some extras!

Arcade vs MSX

Screen from the original arcade machine.

Screen from the MSX version.

We tried to maintain the original look as much as possible, but there are minor changes here and there.
Cause the arcade has vertical screen, the MSX version needs to use scroll, in the same way as the version included on the Megadrive's Pengo.

Check the video below to see how it looks!

There is more!

In 2012, for the 30th anniversary of the Arcade game Pengo we released a little web game to celebrate it. You still can play it here!

*Note: It seems that it could be not totally compatible with some modern browsers, sorry. Anyway, this mini-game is included inside the MSX version of Pengo.
