Antarctic Adventure (けっきょく南極大冒険) is a video game developed by Konami in 1983 for the MSX, and later for video game consoles, such as the Family Computer and the ColecoVision. The player takes the role of an Antarctic penguin, racing to disparate research stations owned by different countries in Antarctica.

The gameplay is similar to Sega's Turbo, but plays at a much slower pace, and features platform game elements. The penguin, later named Penta, must reach the next station before time runs out while avoiding sea lions and breaks in the ice. In order to finish the level in time he can adjust the speed, increasing it or lowering it, depending of the situations.

Throughout the levels, fishes jump out of ice holes and can be caught for bonus points, collecting the flags also give points. The game has ten stages, but like many early video games, has no ending and features a system of loops – when the player reaches the last station, the game starts from the first level again, but with increased difficulty.
