All the usual Frogger features are here. You have to move your frog across four lanes of fast traffic to the river bank.

On reaching the river bank you have to keep moving or you'll be eaten by a snake. To reach safety you have to top across the river on the back of turtles or logs.

If you manage to get five frogs across then you progress to the next level of difficulty. Landing on a lady frog earns you extra points - and this game is recommended for eight years upwards!

The program does not allow for the use of joysticks, which is a pity.

The screen display includes the current score, highest to date, number of lives left, time left and level of play. Reasonable sound effects are used to enhance the action.

I thought the screen graphics were quite good but not as good as the best Frogger versions. The action was a little too fast for me, but my son managed to bring home the frogs without too much splat.

With these few reservations, I'd recommend Squash A Frog. A promising start from a new software company, Alligata.
