[edit] Early Works
The first game to be shown on the Rocketsnail Games website was Ballistic Biscuit, an online success scoring a place on the Flashkit Arcade Top 10, and also getting exposure on ZDNet Television and on the HappyPuppy gaming website. Ballistic Biscuit would later receive an Editor's Choice award from the Bonus.com site.
Experimental Penguins, an ancestor of Club Penguin, was released in July 2000, and was awarded a Cool Site Of The Day award. The game gained so much popularity that rsnail could not keep up with the server bills, and in July 2001 Experimental Penguins was taken offline.
Mancala Snails, the third Rocketsnail game debuted towards the end of 2000. On its release it was #1 on the Flashkit Arcade Top 10. It would later receive several updates throughout the years, and eventually be featured on Miniclip.
Penguin Chat, the successor to Experimental Penguins was released in January 2003, and lived up to the success of its long dead brother game. Penguin Chat would later be reworked for a special edition to be displayed on the Kidzap website, and also on the Barefoot Ministires website.
[edit] Club Penguin
On October 24th, 2005, Rocketsnail Games launched the epitome of the virtual penguin world, Club Penguin. Club Penguin would amass the locations of Penguin Chat 3, along with keeping a similar style of penguins seen in the earlier versions of the chat environment. Club Penguin is one of the few websites to receive the coveted Children's Better Business Brueau (CBBB) Seal of Approval, stating that Club Penguin meets the requirements to provide services for Internet users under 13 years of age.
