i got 323.5 but i've heard of scores in the 330's. the trick is to get it to land just before the 188/189 mark, which is the last spot he'll hit without sticking into the ground. i hate myself for knowing that.
You're right. I just got a 321.2, landing around 188. I landed at 189.1 and got stuck.
Beat this! I promise that this is undoctored. It is just a screenshot. Follow the link. www.angelfire.com/ia2/mcguire/Images/penguin.JPG
319.8. And thank you for another unproductive day at the office . . .
323.5 seems to be the spot. I haven't seen anything farther than that yet. And believe me, I've tried.
322.9 here... - man, how do you get that 323.5????
323.4!! Sweet!! Are we dorks or what?
319.9 and likely nothing else done at my desk today!
328.4 on my 4th try but havent been able to break 316 since. Oh well....another addiction can't hurt.

There's an identical version where you can get scores of up to 590
After many attempts, I finally topped out at 322.9
Dammit. I have seen this one before and had to ban myself from it. Now had to give it another try.
322.4
Thanks Paul for the penguin (better than a monkey) on the back.
I got 5105.6 on the alt-version of the game, but it took way too long to measure.
if you go to this version, the penguin goes farther.
Just got 323.5, after multiple attempts.
There's a new version where you can get more than 1,200.
319.8 was the best I could manage, I guess my dream of a career in penguin-whacking is over.

Speaking of old 80's arcade games, anyone know what the game where you have a bar at the bottom kind of like Pong, but you try to knock out different colored blocks to earn points and advance levels? Asteroids... or Altoids... or something... I can't remember but I used to play it all the time at Bennigan's, it was up by the bar and doubled as a table.
ARKANOID! Awesome... just found it on the site above, but it's not quite as detailed as I remember. I don't know if that's just because it's been a while or if I just thought it was that much cooler in the context of 1986.
Here's a lot of info on Arkanoid.

Used to love that game, too. We have a lot of Galaga/Ms. Pac Man machines in NYC bars. Just like the old days, except now I play drunk.
Many swings, some misses, some hits, finally a 321. I feel the urge to play golf now, tho.
After about 8 attempts, 317.1 is my top. I vow not to stop playing until I hit the elusive 323.5
Damn. I'm a lamer. I'm consistantly between 300 and 312, but I can't break 312.3.
329.4!! bring it on!! (I got no work done today, thanks paul)
got 316.7, Paul...took alot of tries, though!
I won't let myself get addicted to this game like I did the "Fling the Cow" game few years ago. Anyone ever play that one?
i think i may have kicked ass on the older version (got 593.5) will try this one and see if i still "got it!"
I think this is the most used "Comments" area of any paulkatcher.com post.
doghive - fling the cow - i think i played that - was there a catapult involved? or a teetertotter? damn memory doesn't work this late
320.4 By the way, does anyone else pull this .swf file to the desktop to play at anytime, online or off?
17871.9 on the rocket version
You may get more distance out of the line drive but I like the beauty of the pop-out. Most penguins never get to achieve such an altitude and I have to believe that even though he knows that he will surely wind up a lawn dart he can't help but enjoy the view from up there. Besides, if they pull in the infield for a d.p. you just might get one of those sky high penguins to drop in the gap.
That's d.p. as in double play not double penetration you penguin perverts!!!
320.5, and trying for more!
321 and 321.1 are my best, but I can't get any higher.
I can't break the 320.9 barrier...
I was all psyched after finally hitting 318.7-- then i came here. oh well, batter up.
I seem to be stuck at the 272 barrier....although it is awfully fun when the penguin nosedives into the snow, it doesn't get you too far.
But I've only just begun! Better, farther, faster....
IT'S DOWN!! IT'S DOWN!! THE PENQUIN SITE IS DOWN!! PANIC IN THE STREETS!! SOMEONE CALL THE AUTHORITIES!! (Wait, actually this is a good time for me to finally take a long awaited shower...)
I'm up to 323.5- but now my son is hooked, too. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor....
Of course, I could turn off the computer, but then I wouldn't get to play....
320.5, but I think that's blind luck--I whiffed my first six...
i been playing this for weeks and i just got 325.1
Ive only tried about 10 times and i got a top score of 317.1
322.9 . Fairly tasty considering it's only about my 15-20th try!
342.9i slogged it in the air and then slide on the fllo for ages lookaly i just wentpast the 300 mark which was my 2 try wicked
320.5 ........ after 2hours playing this stuid game!!!!!! And the worst part is I'll play on!!!
322.9 ... good enough...i guess
323.5 here... seems that is the top you can get... only one other person got more (328) but several people topped at 323.5...
i got 323.5 but i've heard of scores in the 330's. the trick is to get it to land just before the 188/189 mark, which is the last spot he'll hit without sticking into the ground. i hate myself for knowing that.
