    Overview

    Attack of the Mutant Penguins is a real-time puzzle-strategy game developed by Sunrise Games, a UK developer. It was produced for the Atari Jaguar in late 1995 and later ported to PC MS-DOS in 1997 with the shortened title Mutant Penguins. Initially available in the UK, both versions were released in the US soon afterwards.

    Gameplay

    The goal of the game is to escort regular penguins to the end of a series of maze-like levels. This occasionally means releasing them from traps and creating walkways for them. Simultaneously, the player needs to prevent the mutant penguins from doing the same: if too many reach the scales at the end of the level before the good ones, the game will end.

    To stop them, the player needs to collect gremlins (fuzzy blue creatures) and use them to activate traps and open chests with useful weapons and power-ups. The weapons can then be used to destroy the mutant penguins after they've been charged up, though the good regular penguins can also be hurt if the player isn't careful.
