Too long have Geeklists paid homage to the standard creatures of the world. At last, a collossus colussus has risen up to take its rightful place at the top of the animal-in-games tree. The mighty PENGUIN!!!

Games about penguins, or with penguins please.

Oh yes, this game has the stupidest US title, but it's now the best penguin based game out there. Strange that all the fish is lying on top of the ice. And strange that the penguins won't go into the water. Maybe the water got polluted or something and the fish jumped out and the penguins know this and won't go in the water.

I love this game, it's my favorite filler now, although I prefer it with only 2 player, but it scales up decently to 4. I suppose part of why I like it is because it has no luck, which is what draws me to games like Through the Desert and Caylus.

Anyway, I put off getting this for a months because of the title though. I like the name Pingvinas, and I don't mind Packeis am Pol, but Hey That's My Fish is just about the worst title ever in my opinion, I still refuse to refer to it as that. I'm glad I finally caved in and got the game though despite the title.

I have always ejoyed the Russian version of the game who's title is a (to me) meaningless string of Cyrillic letters which translate to "That F%#*ing Fish Is Mine!".

I'm sure you would prefer the soon-to-be-released U.K. version, "I Beg Your Pardon, But I Believe The Fish In Question Is In Fact Mine By All Rights".

No, the English version is called "Oh, I am terribly sorry, I thought that fish was mine. No, please, go ahead. No, no, I insist. No, you were first, please have it. Well, if you're sure. I'm quite happy to share. Are you sure? Well, okay then, but I don't want to deprive you. Well thank you very much. No, thank you. You're very welcome. Cheerio.......Bastard, he knew that fish was mine."

Oh come on Tor Iver, I mean this time the Penguin is obviously talking. Clearly they are wandering along the quay side, chatting about games and fish and games and herring. Children know this sort of thing.

The South Pole's favourite game of tag. Hmmm, maybe that's why Nanuuk! has no penguins. Penguins only live at the South Pole and in zoos. Time to open a zoo at the North Pole, I say!

I remember an electronic toy that carried penguins up stairs to be released down a winding slide. Then they did it all over again, but I don't remember what it was called.

Playful Penguin Race is the original, and last I checked you could get them on eBay for about $15, or from penguin-place.com. Having said that, penguins are in fashion again and just last week I saw a knockoff in a toy store here.

Is the proliferation of penguin games and penguin movies an indication of the secular movement gaining momentum in the US?

It's just enough to make you wonder... At least it makes me wonder.
