No review of this game on this fantabulous site?  All I can say is "wow".....

I am shocked.

P.S.  I enjoyed the 2600 review.  It is a good game that many of us really did not hear of from our arcade days.

I liked the Atari 800 xl version of the game...

The Atari 800 home computer was the first video game system my family ever owned.  I remembered Pengo being my favorite game on the system.  I just played Pengo on an Atari 800 emulator this weekend and it has not held up as well as my childhood memories would suggest, sadly.  I'll check out the 5200 version.

Now, one game that's held up even better than I remember on the 800 is Oils Well.  Now THAT'S a fantastic game!

That it is JWK! I have not played Oils Well in a long time but it was always fun to play.
