Antarctic Adventure is a game developed by Konami in which the player controls a penguin racing over the ice, jumping over ponds and crevices and collecting flags. It was first released for the MSX in 1983, and subsequently ported to other systems. The Famicom/NES version was one of the first third-party releases for the platform (along with Yie Ar Kung-Fu, also from Konami).The game got an MSX-only sequel called Penguin Adventure in 1986, which is also known for being supposedly the first game Hideo Kojima worked on while being employed by Konami. Another sequel was released titled Yume Penguin Monogatari in 1991 for the Famicom. |

Polar Penguins: How do you know it's an Antarctic Adventure? Because you're playing a penguin, of course. |

Game-Breaking Bug |

comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The Famicom release of the game will not work properly if you have your Zapper (or indeed, just about anything else) hooked up to the expansion port of the Famicom, with Penta locked at a rather low speed. This means you'll need to deal with the bother of unplugging your Famicom BASIC Keyboard or Zapper each time you want to play this game, and plugging them back after. |

Edible Collectible: The penguin can eat the fish that jump out of holes for 300 points each. Averted in the sequel Penguin Adventure, where fish are used as currency instead. |
