Description[edit]

In the game Frogger you have to let frogs hop over a street with much traffic and over logs and turtles in a floating stream to one of the five free spaces at the upper rim of the screen. Dangers are always there: Cars drive over the frog and he does also not survive leaving the screen or jumping into water, and so on.

Each frog needs to reach its aim within a given time. The time that is left is added to your score. When all 5 places are occupied, the next level starts. In higher levels the traffice gets more. Crossing the stream is aggravated by missing logs, submerging turtles and other small scurvinesses as crocodiles, water snakes and beavers. Furthermore, the available time is shortened and the speed rises. There are bonus points when pinching flies and the toad.


Design[edit]

The game takes place in a static screen design (so no scrolling or changing of the screen), in which animated cars move in the lower part and animated logs, turtles, crocodiles, water snakes, beavers in a stream and the frog itself move in the upper part. There are sound effects and a nice background music.

Solution[edit]

Tips:

Critics[edit]

Robotron2084: 'Frogger by Sierra-Online is, together with the version by Parker Bros, the most successful conversion of this icon from the early video game history. Simple graphics, happy melodies and a good playability make a real Golden Oldie. Both ports (also very nice: Frogger II - Threeedeep) are always fun for me and therefore deserve from me 7 out of 10 points.'

Werner: 'I basically agree with Robotron. The joystick controls (port2) are also there, therefore 8/10.'

Shakermaker303: 'What a cute game. I think the Sierra version is definitely the best. The melody, the sounds, the hopping of the frog with the long legs - just cute. Puts a smile on my face again and again. 9 out of 10 points for this hustle and bustle on the screen.'

Guybrush: 'I found this very cute as a kid. However, thanks to Frogger I thought for a long time that frogs in real life also die when they jump into water. :o) 8 points for this classic.'
