Legacy
Yume Penguin Monogatari is remembered, along with Konami's own Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa, as being a highly unusual game. The game is also remembered for the appearance of a penguin who is most likely Pentarou, star of several Konami classics. The game is also unique for its handling of obesity, in that it's making the distinction that being overweight is not a positive action. The game was never released in the United States.
Being a Japanese-only release, the game was widely inaccessible until the rise of console emulation, a fan translation of YPM was initially released in 1998 by Kalevan, with an update that was made the following year. A second fan-made translation of the game was released in 2003 by Vice Translations.
