The game Frogger is known to be one of the most popular games for its time. It's popularity can be compared to such titles as Asteroids and Pacman. At its prime, Frogger games could be found everywhere, in any arcade and even in most home entertainment console systems. Today we look at Frogger as a classic game, but a unique one at that. Frogger was introduced in 1981 by Sega and developed by Konami, a Japanese game development company. It has been many years later and the game is still popular, gamers in this generation are fortunate however as they do not need to spend money anymore to play this unique game. With the advancements of technology and the internet, you can now play Frogger games online for free.
The most enjoyable aspect of Frogger is the fact that the game is fairly simple to play. We can say this because their really is no direct story line involved in the game, it simply involves a frog that tries to to cross a busy road. The role of the player however is to control the Frog and get him across the road safely without being hit.
The gamer starts with moving the frog across the other side of the road where their is heavy traffic and cars, buses, trucks and other vehicles crossing by. He must safely go across several lanes to the other side to complete the level. Their are different levels with different scenarios, some include logs, crocodiles, water and other animals that are out to get him. But the overall aspect of the game is the same, he has to cross without getting hit or eaten by the objects placed in front of him. The player controlling the frog also has to get him across the board within a set time, if the time period passes by, the player will lose the game and will have to try again if their are credits remaining. In Frogger games, you are also given the opportunity to gain bonuses which in return can reward you with a free man. Such bonuses include catching bugs or coming to the aid of another frog and helping her cross the board.
To win the level, your goal is to have all frogs reach their destination which is the lily pad waiting for them on the other side. Once that is done you will only then be able to continue on to the next level. At this point however things begin to get a little harder, faster and with a lot more challenges on the way.
