This is a Linux-gaming site, so I thought that it might be fun for there to be a place to share screenshots of penguins that you've spotted whilst playing games on Linux. Per GOL's own policies, they don't have to be exclusively from native titles - just titles that can be played on Linux by whatever means you prefer!

This post was inspired by a post by StoneColdSpider in the (at the time of writing) current Weekend Play List thread.

These are the ones that I've spotted so far throughout my gaming in 2022;


Blazing Beaks (PC) features a penguin as one of its playable characters.


Bomberman '93 (PC Engine/Turbo-Grafx-16) has green penguin enemies in its ice levels.


The snow area in Bomberman '94 (PC Engine/Turbo-Grafx-16)/Mega Bomberman (Mega Drive/Genesis) features penguins in the background. The large penguins wear rocket-launchers which occasionally fire onto the stage as a hazard.


Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PlayStation) features penguins in some of its ice stages - they leap out of pools of water and slide across the ground, getting in the way.


An enemy called a "Lemguin" is found in a few of the snow levels in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (SNES). They leap out of burrows and then hurl themselves along the ground and off of cliffs in an attempt to collide with the player.


Kirby's usually-friendly-rival King Dedede, the final boss of Kirby's Dream Land (Game Boy), is a penguin.


Robot penguin enemies appear in Mega Man 8 (Saturn).


Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Mega Drive/Genesis) also has robot penguin enemies.


Super Bomberman 2 (SNES) has penguin enemies with an exaggerated waddle in its toy-themed stages.


Super Bomberman 3 (SNES) features goofy bow-tie wearing penguin enemies in its chilly levels.


Super Bomberman 5 sees a reappearance from the penguin enemies from Super Bomberman 2, in the same toyland habitat as before.


SuperTux (PC) is a very obvious game to mention on a Linux-gaming website, since Tux the Linux Penguin is its protagonist, so here it is!


The Supervisor - the stereotypical police-chief-style character from The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game (PC) - is a penguin.


Armoured penguin foes appear in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Game Boy) - they throw a spiked ball weapon at Wario.

What are your video game penguin sightings on Linux?
