I own a Dinkie Penguin, and am primarily interested in older virtual pets that simulate a complete life-cycle, without all of the frills of modern iterations, such as job-seeking, marriage, and becoming practically immortal. I'd like to learn more about other (presumably vintage) penguin virtual pets, in the hope of tracking some of them down in the future.
I've trawled through Tamenagerie, and have done some searching of my own elsewhere, and know of the following;
Dinkie Penguin
Penpy
Penguin Watch/Pocket Penguin
MGA Penguin
I also know of Penguin no Mondai Henshin Counter (a pedometer game based on a Japanese TV show about a penguin), though I haven't included that here as it doesn't seem to be a virtual pet, and I'm not interested in a tie-in from a TV show that I have no familiarity with. There's also an Anipalz penguin, but as far as I know, Anipalz don't simulate a complete life-cycle, so I'm not interested in that, either.
Are there any that I've missed or forgotten, here?
Also, are there any vintage multi-pets on which penguins are an option? There seem to be so many multi-pets that I've found it difficult to locate this information - I can only remember the Super Gyaoppi, as far as multi-pets containing penguins go.
I like my Dinkie Penguin because it's not especially demanding - not only does it not require excessive amounts of my time, it also gains happiness even if he doesn't win at the rock/paper/scissors game, and these things are major positives for me. I'm interested in hearing what other penguin virtual pets (dedicated or multi) are out there, and which ones people would recommend to someone who enjoys this particular virtual pet.
