Club Penguin History
This article shows the history of Club Penguin - from Experimental Penguins to Club Penguin. Most images are from web.archive.org and some through Yahoo Search engine and Google.
Penguin Chat
Penguinchat.com, a game that Rocketsnail made a long time ago, is partially what started it. You would choose a name and go into rooms as many different characters chosen at random. There was also a football and a soccer theme version that was just made as a chat and that got several awards.
Experimental Penguins
Experimental Penguins, an extremely popular game in 2000, is what started it all. Close to when Rocketsnail started they made a multiplayer game chat. You could choose a name and be a default color. Little is known about Experimental Penguins since there are not any pictures of gameplay and such. From the icon they put next to it on Rocketsnail.com it seems that there was dynamite and Snow Cats which soon made their way into Penguin Chat. Experimental Penguins only stayed up for a few months and got several awards. It closed down and then Penguin Chat came along. During Experimental Penguins, there was a game being worked on for it called 'Snowblasters'. The game was never finished before they put up Penguin Chat.
Penguin Chat
Penguin Chat came after Experimental Penguins. The game changed the penguins looks. Penguin Chat 1, where you could only put in a name, walk around, and chat, had only the Dance Club, the Coffee Shop and the Boiler Room. The Gift Shop, at first, was just a place to buy merchandise like mugs and shirts. The Dance Club had many different songs. At one time 'The Banana Phone' song was played. Instead of the Boiler Room being in the top right corner speaker, you would go to the bottom left one. The Boiler Room was more secret then than now, few penguins knew about it and when you could become a ninja, there were many Ninja Clans that would meet there.
A little later you could go to what is now the Snow Forts. At first it was just a room with a 'Coming Soon' Sign.
Then you could go on the sign and go to a construction site where you could go into a Snow Cat (BullDozer)
Yes, it was fun...boring though!!!!!!
