Hi charlse.
That is funny, and indeed true, or at least it was in a commador amiga
version I played, whenever your poor little frog got squished by a car there
was a lovely squish and ribbid dsound :D.
The Amiga ersion also had the rather amusic characteristic that once you got
one frog smooshed, a little puddle of goop would remain on the screen at the
place you died, not in a gorey way but more in a comedy sense.
Audio frogger would be an easy game to create, heck in the original the
traffic already moved left to right as did the logs to jump on in the water.
However, what made frogger difficult was again the mechanics sinse if I
remember rightly the hopping motion of the frog frequently meant that even
if you avoided one oncoming car, you'u could leap into the path of another
if you weren't careful, so you had to judge three or four lanes of oncoming
traffic at once not merely the one in front of you.
the curb game certainly got the road crossing right and I loved some of the
crazy sounds for traffic, like a car with ghosts laughing or a steam engine
with ringing bells, but if I remember rightly your hedgehog moved fairly
precisely, and so it was relatively easy to wait until a free space and peg
it across the road.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

I know that some people that lived near me at one time had a handheld game
of frogger. I have a question about the Atari game. If you don't win the
game, do you croak? (rotten grin)

Be positive! When it comes to being defeated, if you think you're
finished, you! really! are! finished!

Hi Sky,
Well, I do believe there was an accessible clone created based on
Frogger, but the game Bryan and I are talking about is an old Atari
game from the early 1980's called Frogger. The basic idea is that you
are a little green frog trying to make it back to your home. In order
to do that you have to cross a busy highway with trucks and cars, then
get passed a river with crocodiles, and eventually make it to your
home. The original game certainly is not accessible, but you may have
to see about that accessible version I mentioned.
Cheers!
