Yetisports

released on Jan 19, 2004

Yetisports (also known as Pingu Throw) is a web-based Flash game that originally appeared on the Internet in January 2004. The goal of the original game is to have a yeti smack a penguin with a club and try to get it to fly as far as possible. The original Yetisports game features no name other than the words "1978 Reinhold + Yeti", a reference to Reinhold Messner's claim to have found Yetis. The game is very popular and soon after release, there was a quick succession of many variants created by multiple people on the internet. None of these are officially sponsored by Chris Hilgert, even though many copy the original almost exactly save certain small changes. One of the more violent variants was made by someone known as 'Pawel', featuring decapitation, spikes, a big spiky club and mines. Since the original was released at the Yetisports homepage, the website has released nine further adventures of the Yeti as well as a re-release of the original that allows movement of the penguin in flight.

Um clássico do começo do século, com minigames divertidos em um conceito muito legal. Poderia ter um remake mobile pras novas eras ai!

There are absolutely no flaws to this game whatsoever. It is entirely easy to understand and easy to compete for a high score between friends with. The only downside to a game as simple as this is the fact that you might get fucked by input lag but that depends entirely on your own setup.
