Pengo is a video game. It was originally an arcade game made by Sega in 1982. Versions were subsequently released for many home consoles and computer systems.
Pengo the Penguin is the eponymous star of Pengo the video game. The basic layout of Pengo is akin to Pac-Man, in that it is a top down, 2D, gridlike arrangement. The "maze" is made from blocks of ice that Pengo can push to obliterate the enemies - the "Sno-Bees".
One of Pengo's distinguishing features is its "interactive walls". If Pengo pushes the wall it goes into "freeze mode", and any Sno-Bees next to the wall are instantly frozen.
Pengo was a popular game, and it used Popcorn as its theme music.
