The idea of this game is simple, but its effects on the players are staggering. How can trying to hop a frog across a road, avoiding three lanes of traffic, then over a river via floating logs to safety reduce such normally near-sane people to febrile fanaticism?

You have to play it to understand the screams of triumph that greet the rescuing of a lady frog, empathise with the tragedy of encountering a snake, and know well the bitter taste of running out of time.

A truly brilliant games concept, this version makes excellent use of the graphics facilities of the BBC Micro. I also like being able to choose different sets of keys for movement. All too often even the best programs are ruined by such easily-remedied points as poor choice of control keys.

This piece of software suffers from no such flaws. It is tremendous fun to play - if you're looking for one game to suit all tastes and ages, this is surely it!
