Hi Dark, Yes, Frogs and Flies is quite a bit different from the games we have. It was definitely different from Pac-Man and even Space Invaders.
One challenge as Bryan mentioned is while you were hopping around trying to catch flies you wanted to stay on the Lilly pads or you would fall into the water which would cause you to lose time. Since you were given a limited amount of time to catch all the flies as you can falling into the water would take up precious time. We don't really have anything analogous to that particular game.
