A zany penguin sim mixing sports training with Japanese silliness. The mood is funny, mini challenges vary and humor pervades. A likeable Sega curiosity.

PenPen TriIcelon (Dreamcast) price, value & rarity
A Dreamcast launch curiosity, PenPen offers offbeat swimming races where penguin creatures slide, dive and roll across whimsical courses. The zany concept and colourful art direction carry gameplay that is ultimately simple and quickly repetitive over time. The modest tech recalls its status as an early console title. For someone curious about the Dreamcast's first steps or a fan of unusual racing, the title keeps a mostly historical value and a naive, clearly dated charm.
