Power Croak and the always-useful Heat-seeking Tongue were all added to help you collect bonus points on the levels. New environments were not the only thing added to this incarnation of Frogger. Still, other levels depart from the usual flat, horizontal or vertical travel and let you explore in a 360-degree radius, complete with the illusion of 3-D depth and even the ability to hop a ride on a bird's back to shorten up the level.

Take cover in a corner for a moment and then quickly move to the next safe haven before you're pureed by an unforgiving mower blade. Take a hop into a yard littered with wayward lawnmowers approaching from every possible direction. Players will be challenged by levels that take place in the clouds, in sewers and even in the desert where wild buffaloes threaten to stomp you into the brittle earth. While the basic premise of the game is the same (along with the classic overhead perspective), many new scenarios and enemies have been added to the mix. To facilitate this, the new-and-improved Frogger features 3-D polygonal graphics, an on-demand rotating game view, a lot of fast gameplay and enough levels to keep any gamer busy for a long time (10 worlds with over 50 levels in all). Striking the perfect balance of classic retro gameplay and modern graphic and level construction was Hasbro Interactive's top priority. Later, the game was ported over to the Atari and Commodore platforms (where it enjoyed a long, happy life with several sequels in tow as well). Timing your jump and looking ahead for the next obstacle to avoid were the only things to remember. the classic arcade game of the early '80s featuring amazingly simple gameplay, a straightforward objective and a cute little frog as well.īack then, all players had to do was maneuver their frog across several gauntlets including a log-jammed river and a busy street without falling in the water or getting crushed by a car. It's a safe bet that any game that was good in the past will make its way back to the gaming spotlight in a bright, new incarnation of some sort.
