Talk:Pengo (video game)

Animated pengo.gif missing!

Can someone please re-upload pengo.gif. It was "accidently" deleted.

The link to the animated gif named pengo.gif was lost when the associated article (this one) was renamed to "Pengo (game)". This caused the link to change to "Pengo (game).gif" (due to the template used) but the file Pengo.gif was not renamed, and therefore no articles linked to the file for sometime, and some dumb bot deleted it. Doing a simple search, I can't find this file again, so please upload it again if you have access to it.

The 'dumb bots' did not delete it. Humans tagged it, the bot subsequently notified the uploader (so they had time to fix the problem), and then a human deleted it. The JPS 01:53, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Diferent goal

You can finish the level by alignin the three flashing blocks. I always thought that was the objective of the game, not killing the sno-bees... Anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.164.171.129 (talk) 23:41, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

No. By Alignin the blocks you obtain bonus points. You finish level if not sno-bees are present. --JoaquinFerrero (talk) 12:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Intermission

Didn't Pengo also play Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" during the intermission, with the penguins dancing to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 45750born (talk • contribs) 12:25, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Was a version of this ever released for DOS? 2fort5r (talk)

TV reference and also is this the "longest held Video Game World Record"

Rodney Day, the World Record holder, was on Australia's "Good Game" TV show on 19/10/09 - see http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/video/default.htm?pres=20091019_2030&story=8 . I'd add the reference into the article but I'm not sure exactly how to.

Also, the video makes reference to Mr Day's score as being the "longest held Video Game World Record". That may well be the case but this pointis something that would be best served by verification from another source. 203.219.163.8 (talk) 07:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Looks like this record was broken in 2012 by Paul Hornitzky: http://pengoquest.blogspot.com/2013/04/to-begin-at-beginning.html Cernansky (talk) 09:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Pengo disassembled

HI! I disassembled the Pengo ROM, and I discovered the artifacts, timers and systems of this game. For example: in the Wikipedia article, it said «After 60 seconds elapse in a round without a death, the game enters into sudden death mode» This is not true. It's easy to see this in the firsts rounds. The actual behavior is:

• The rounds have 2 minutes limit. All Sno-bees enter into escape-mode in an attempt to reach a corner.
• The music accelerate after the number of Sno-bees is below 1/4 of initial number of Sno-bees at the round.
• When the number of remains Sno-bees is 2, the game reset a seconds counter. When one Sno-bee remain, the counter start, and after 12 seconds, the Sno-bee escapes.
• When the number of remains Sno-bees is 3 o 4, and you kill all but one, this escape immediately (if round have 12 seconds or more).

Of course, I can't write this facts (and many others) into Wikipedia page, because it don't have references (only one: Pengo. Sus últimos secretos (Pengo, the lasts secrets)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoaquinFerrero (talk • contribs) 13:19, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Is it worth noting in the article that this Apple II game was based on Pengo? 2605:A000:1102:66BE:A1AD:66B1:1A7:B093 (talk) 12:45, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
