Yet another Microdeal offering (I have a friend who believes that Microdeal are the only software house who produce games for the Dragon!), which is definitely the best Frogger available for the Dragon.

Frogger was a game that never really caught on in the arcades. I don't understand why. I mean, it's such a nice game - no shooting, no violent aliens self-destructing, no ghosts materialising anywhere - hmm, maybe that's the reason!

This version of Frogger is in PMODE3 and uses the mode better than any other I have seen. It is colourful whilst retaining clarity and plays excellently on keyboard (I would not advise the joystick option without self centering joysticks!).

The object of the game is simply to hop a frog across a busy road, and then a busier river. To cross the road is simple - just avoid the cars, lorries, and so on. To cross the river isn't so simple... You must ride on the backs of turtles, and on logs, and then time the jump into one of your five homes at the top of the screen.

The game has progressive difficulty, a timer, five frogs per game, one or two player option, and can play more tunes than "Duran Duran" (but then three isn't really than many!).
