Next to Star Raiders, Preppie is without doubt the best game ever produced for the Atari. The game is based on Frogger, except that instead of a frog, there is a Preppie, or Prep School Student, to the non-American.

He is being forced to collect golf balls off the Nasty Nine course. Among the hazards to be dodged are lawnmowers, golf carts, logs, canoes and puddles.

As you progress up the ten screens, bulldozers, alligators and even a giant frog put in an appearance.
