Anirog's version of the now famous frog splatting game makes splendid use of the Commodore's graphics features. The screen display is really state of the art. You can even see the alligator's teeth!

Due to the length of the program, it takes a long time to load so it's best to make a cup of coffee while you're waiting. Once the program is running you'll get so hooked that you'll never get round to the coffee.

The instructions are basic and don't tell you that you need to press the space bar to start each game. They say that you get 10 points for moving forward, but I never did. My score remained obstinately at zero during my first 15 or so games until I eventually got a frog home, then I suddenly got the accredited 200 points.
