is an arcade game developed by Coreland and published by Sega in 1982. The player controls Pengo, a red penguin that resides in the Antarctic. The game takes place in an overhead maze made of ice blocks, where Pengo fights the trolling, blob-like Sno-Bees. The objective of the game is for Pengo to survive a series of rounds by eliminating all Sno-Bees, while amassing bonuses by bringing together the three diamonds dispersed in the maze.

There are two versions of the arcade game, each with different music. The first uses " Popcorn" as the theme, and the second has original music. There are other small differences as well.

Pengo was ported to the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit family, Commodore 64, and Sega Game Gear.
