Top 10 Best Food Video Games

August 29, 2012 by Jenn Frank

#8 Yume Penguin Monogatari

AKA Penguin Dream Story Famicom: 1991


Penguin Dream Story, meanwhile, has a much more complicated relationship with food. This Konami classic stars Penta, a very chubby penguin. His goal? To slim down for his estranged girlfriend, Penko.

And now for the game's "human interest" element: Penko is dating Ginji, a "stylish" and presumably sexually appealing penguin who wears sunglasses and a top hat.
