Many of you will surely remember the Pengo arcade game, well the one proposed here is a good port for the 8K VIC-20.
The game is simple: in a maze made of ice blocks, you have to fight against enemies crawling along the corridors. You can throw ice blocks (FIRE button) and squeeze them, or also make them drop by hitting the screen sides (FIRE button again), then you catch them.
You will get a bonus depending on how much time you take to complete the task.
There is a special bonus which you get if you manage to align side-by-side three special shaped blocks.
Pretty funny, and easy to play. It needs an 8K memory expansion fitted.

The game is from the german “64er Sonderheft 3/1986” (Commodore 64 paper mag special issue). If you’re curios to see how the original arcade game was looking like, here is a gameplay video from our brand new channel:
