Pilot Fergus the Frog across a busy road, hop across a river on the back of turtles and logs on to a lilypad.

The highway has six lanes with varying traffic speeds. Once this has been crossed you must avoid a train before hopping across the river.

You must be wary of the turtles diving under water - which can be very annoying.

The "lilypads" appear to be river inlets - the first time I jumped on to the forest only to hear the Death March, which wasn't too encouraging!

You have a choice of Kempston joystick or two sets of control keys - the cursor keys or a more logical arrangement. At first it's difficult to control Fergus because he moves two spaces at a time if you press the key for too long - a delicate touch is needed.

The game is livened up by a few different tunes and the odd muted croak from Fergus. If Fergus dies on the road an ambulance appears.

Hopper gets more difficult when all four lilypads are filled. This game can be highly recommended.
