Yetisports (also known asPingu Throw) is a web-basedFlashgame that originally appeared on theInternet in January 2004.The goal of the original game is to have a yeti smack a penguinwith a club and try to get it fly as far as possible. The originalYetisportsgame features no name other than the words '1978Reinhold + Yeti', a reference to Reinhold Messner's claim to have foundYetis.
The game is humorous and addictive at the same time andtherefore very popular on the Internet. Very soon after release,there was a quick succession of many variants created by multiplepeople on the internet. None of these are officially sponsored byChris Hilgert, even though many copy the original almost exactlysave certain small changes. One of the more violent variants wasmade by someone known as 'Pawel', featuring decapitation, spikes, abig spiky club and mines. Since the original was released at theYetisports homepage, the website has released nine furtheradventures of the Yeti as well as a re-release of the original thatallows movement of the penguin in flight.

Game 1 (Deluxe versionof original)
Location: Antarctic
Launched: 19.01.2004
Tag Line: 'It all started with a club'
In this game, the players hit the penguin with good timing and hegoes flying. Using the arrow keys, the player controls the angle ofthe penguin as he flies, and catches air currents (the closer to anideal angle, the better the currents) to stay in the air. Thevideos of records all show the flight starting on a low trajectory,with little manipulation of arrow keys to get better angle, meaningan ideal angle is kept throughout the flight.

Game 2(Orca slap)
Location: Antarctic
Launched: 12.02.2004
Tag Line: 'Hit the bulls eye'
In this game, the goal is to hit penguins into a dartboard with a snowball. Anorca hits thepenguins into the air, which the yeti then hits with a snowball. The point on thedartboard the penguin hits is determined by the angle it faces inthe air (the penguin rotates) and the height it is in its fall. Thetheoretical maximum score is 1000 (each of 10 shots scores a bull'seye for 100 points). In the more violent variant, the yeti throwsiciclesinstead of snowballs, impaling the penguins if they hit one.

Game 3(Seal bounce)
Location: Antarctic
Launched: 18.03.2004
Tag Line: 'Up the iceberg'
In this game, you play with 2 clicks of the mouse. The first clickstarts the yeti windmilling his arms (which hold a penguin), thesecond makes him release the penguin, between two glaciers with seals sticking out at regularintervals. The seals hit the penguin higher, which is useful as thepenguin will not go higher than 300 if thrown straight up, whereaswith bounces it is possible to go substantially past 400.

There is a more violent variant, featuring a sea of blood, dead penguins and thethrowable penguin is thrown with the bottom half of his torso ripped off, bleeding. Thegame physics have also been adjusted to allow for much higherscoring, even with no bounces.
Game 4 (Albatrossoverload)
Location: Australia
Launched: 29.04.2004
Tag Line: 'Gone with the wind'
This game is set in Australia. The penguin stands on one side ofa see-saw while the yeti stomps on the otherend. If the stomp is executed with good timing, the penguin landson an albatross flying overhead. The player then has control overwhen the albatross flaps its wings. The closer to the ground thebird flaps, the more efficient it is. When the albatross' energybar (which slowly recharges when the bird is not flapping) reaches0, the bird will soon crash.

Game5 (Flamingo drive)
Location: Africa
Launched: 17.06.2004
Tag Line: 'May the vulture get him?'
This game, set in Africa,involves using a flamingo as a golf club to hit a penguin. Theangle is set by clicking while an arrow points at various angles,and power is set by clicking while a bar moves up and down. Youhave five shots per game. There are many game elements that willaffect the final score, such as giraffes, which will catch the penguin in theirmouths and throw it further if the penguin flies near their heads;Elephants and acacias that block low shots; Vultures that catch thepenguin, bring it lower and drop it, if it flies too high; and pythons that bounce thepenguin higher if it hits them. There is always the same pattern ofanimals and trees: A giraffe at 0, an acacia at 1000, and a giraffeat 2000, for example. The pattern can be used to help determine thebest angle of the first shot. It is definitely a lower angle, butthe exact best angle is hard to achieve. A tiny difference can meana score on the first shot of 350 or 1000.

Game 6(Big wave)
Location: Hawaii
Launched: 02.09.2004
Tag Line: 'The perfect wave'
This game, controlled by the arrow keys, is the first of a seriesof games focusing more on the yeti, instead of the penguin and hisattempts at flight. The yeti surfs up and down a big wave, tryingto pull off tricks and hit penguins out of the air. The wavegradually shrinks until the end of the game. If you press the Y('motivation') key,when playing the game, an unseen penguin loudly yodels, which then echoes inthe background.

Game 7 (Snowboard freeride)
Location: Austria
Launched: 14.10.2004
Tag Line: 'Back to the Snow'
In this game, the yeti snowboards down a long slope, racing 10penguins. The slope has many jumps and ibexes that send the yeti into the air,where he can do tricks for points. The point is not to win therace, but to get the most points, though you get bonus points fordoing well in the race. Hitting a penguin slows it down for a fewseconds, but then the penguin gets angry and moves faster. The topscore is 12141.

Game 8(Jungle Swing)
Location: South_America
Launched: 4.4.2005
Tag Line: 'Cry of the rain forest'
This game involves swinging up a series of branches in a tree,jumping with a mouseclick. It requires precise timing, as the angleof the jump changes based on when the click is. When the yeti jumpsoff a green branch, the branch turns gold. When the yeti jumps offa gold branch, the branch turns red. When the yeti jumps off a redbranch, the branch falls off and 3 green branches grow on the 3next branchless spaces. There are only 25 branches at the start,all of which are green, so to get to the top yeti must swing off of9 different branches 3 times each to get to the top, as well as the50 branches that must be climbed to get to the top at all.

Thesecondary title of the violent variant is altered to 'The End' andis the final violent Yetisports game. In it, the llama gives theyeti a machine gun.Unlike the penguins, the other animals (with the exception of eagles and tortoises) don't get decapitated, but they do bleed. This alsohas in-game music, something that its official counterpart doesn't.Also, penguins die if they get caught in the wheel the ox is pulling, whilst moving.

Game10 (Icicle climb)
In this game, the yeti has 12 icicles to throw into the side ofa cliff. There is a penguin next to this cliff, and he jumps up theicicles. The only limitation is the fact that the penguin onlyjumps 1.2 meters up.
Special Stage (StageDive)

Tag Line: 'Let it Rock'
Influenced by the new media on his travels the Yeti gets into rock, and to prove his'popstar' credentials, dives headfirst into the mosh-pit where thepenguing are headbanging. They struggle to the task of getting theYeti around the room. The Yetis movements are controlled with theleft mouse button: you have ten clicks to get the Yeti as far aspossible.

Glitches
In the deluxe version of the first game, the penguin throws upon impact when the player hits him high in the air and holds downthe left or right arrow key. The animation lasts longer than thetime it takes for the sign saying the score, 'replay', 'highscores'and 'OK' to pop up. If you click the OK button before the vomitinganimation is complete, the penguin will vomit on impact next timeno matter what. Then if you play the replay, the penguin will notvomit on impact with the ground and keep flying unguided.
In Game 4, Albatross Overload, your score is the average ofthree flights. If you have a bad flight you can press 'q' to quitand start over, but your score will not be submitted to the HighScore chart on the Yetisports web site.
In Yeti Sports 5: Flamingo Drive, if you hit the penguin hardenough and it hits a snake just before getting to a girraffe, thensometimes on certain giraffes (not to be mentioned here) it will gostraight through the neck and continue, sometimes at an increasedspeed.
Parodies
The original Pingu Throw inspired the popular flash gamePenguin Extreme, where a yeti uses a spiked mace as thebaseball bat, decapitating the penguin and leaving a bleeding headflying into the distance, to land for distance. On the ground areadded landmines that can cause further distance to accrue. The gameis a hack of the original Yetisports.

There you go! In the hands of this heartless beast that is commonly called Yeti fell more birds. This time, along with the penguins for nefarious playground he used the flamingos, which he used as a golf club. Nielotom but accounted for the role of the ball. Hairy, this time arrived in Africa by the penguins who flew as far as possible and at the same time is a lot of fun! Players, as usual, will take on the Yeti. We have 5 shots, with which we need to get the highest score. Along the way you will come across a lot of przeszkadzajek, which can also be bonuses prolonged our flight. It all depends on the situation. For example, if we find a giraffe in the face, throw a penguin on it, but if you hit a penguin, for example, in the neck, may be expected and will go back, instead tap the new record. It is so skillfully adjust the angle and force of impact to the situation that our result took an impressive size.
