Added DiffLines:

* GameBreakingBug: The Famicom release of the game will ''not'' work properly if you have your Zapper (or indeed, just about anything else) hooked up to the expansion port of the Famicom, with Penta locked at a rather low speed. This means you'll need to deal with the bother of unplugging your Famicom BASIC Keyboard or Zapper each time you want to play this game, and plugging them back after.

''Antarctic Adventure'' is a game developed by {{Creator/Konami}} in which the player controls a penguin racing over the ice, jumping over ponds and crevices and collecting flags. It was first released for the {{MSX}} in 1983, and subsequently ported to other systems. The Famicom/NES version was one of the first third-party releases for the platform (along with ''Yie Ar Kung-Fu'', also from Konami).
