Experimental Penguins is an old game from 2000[1], which was believed to have started Club Penguin. It was a multiplayer game/chat, similar to Penguin Chat and its successors, and it was made around the time of Rocketsnail Games.

Gameplay

You could choose a name and a penguin color. Colors included black, blue, green, and red. Little is known about Experimental Penguins since there are not any pictures of gameplay. From the icon they put next to it on Rocketsnail.com, it seems that there was dynamite (explosives) and Snow Cats (vehicles), which soon made their way into Penguin Chat.

History

Experimental Penguins only stayed up for a few months, but it got several awards. It closed down, and then Penguin Chat came along. During Experimental Penguins, there was a game being worked on for it called Snowblasters. The game was never finished before they put up Penguin Chat.

Ballistic Biscuit reference

A game also developed by RocketSnail Games called Ballistic Biscuit, now known as Hydro Hopper was made in 2001 as well. Now being a penguin-only version, the older version had humans, however a newer revision had an Experimental Penguins reference with a penguin on board the boat.

Trivia

  • Unlike Penguin Chat and Club Penguin, players could swear.
  • rsnail said on his Twitter account that it was a test on Flash 4 to see if it could do Multiplayer Games.[2]
