Frogger

Jump for your life if you don't want to be splattered all over the road! Guide your frog to his frog-hole by hopping him across a busy road and crocodile infested river in this, the official version of Frogger.

In a close representation of the original arcade game by Sega your frog has to avoid the fast moving road traffic and cross the river by using floating logs and turtles' backs as stepping stones. Beware the turtles - they are inclined to dive unexpectedly.

A lady fron appears at random in one of the five frog holes on the far side of the riverbank.

When all five holes have been filled with frogs you move on to a new level. Things start to get more difficult as less time is allowed to get the frogs safely home, the cars move in faster convoys and there are fewer logs.

For one or two players, control is by joystick or keyboard. Keyboard control is very easy to master using the cursor keys for left, right, up and down moves. Frogger is written in machine code and the graphics and speed are among the best I've seen on the Dragon. It is available from Microdeal and all leading retailers at £8.00.
