Froggy

Variations of this game abound, but this is one of the best I have seen! Everything from instructions to the game itself, which uses every available byte in the 16K Spectrum, is highly professional.

The aim of the game is to hop your frog across a three lane road avoiding various vehicles, then across a river by hopping on logs and turtles, to your home bases. Crocodiles and snakes are out to eat you, and you have a limited time in which to get home.

An unusual extra is a baby frog which needs rescuing from a log for bonus points. There are four skill levels and seven speeds, all of which increase automatically for each sheet of five successful crossings.

Colour, sound and graphics are used superbly producing a stunning display and an extremely addictive game. A high score chart is kept and the "just one more go" syndrome is rampant! Unreservedly recommended to frog lovers everywhere.
