This is an earlier version of Pengo with an arcade style title screen, and a few bugs. It's unknown why Atari decided to remove the arcade title screen, but it may have been because of space constrains.

According to an interview in the Feb. 1985 issue of Keyboard magazine, Jeff Gusman did the sound for this game. He also did the sound for the Atari 2600 Oblix

A rather average game at the most. The game is decent looking but loaded with endless flicker (a big no no for me) and after a few stages the game is extremely repetitive and the difficulty is pretty slow to pick up so the game gets boring early. Only recommended if it's cheap.

It´s a fun and challenging game. I like the look of Pengo and his enemies. Another proof that VCS 2600 gaming can have both - great gameplay and decent grafix. A must have for every serious VCS gamer.
