Frogger

A 1981 arcade action game called Frogger was created by Konami and produced by Sega. Sega/Gremlin distributed it in North America. The goal of the game is to guide various frogs to their homes by navigating a congested road and a perilous river. After being hailed as one of the best video games ever created, Frogger spawned a number of clones and sequels. Its numerous home video game iterations had sold 20 million copies globally by the year 2005. It made its way into mainstream culture, including music and television.

You must direct a frog to each of the vacant houses at the top of the screen in order to win the game. Depending on the settings of the machine, the game begins with three, five, or seven frogs. Game ends if all frogs are lost. To jump the frog once, the player utilizes the 4-direction joystick. A single player or two people can alternately play Frogger. The horizontal road that the frog begins on at the bottom of the screen is filled with moving automobiles, trucks, and bulldozers. To save the frog from becoming roadkill and losing a life, the player must direct it between opposing lines of traffic. The two main sections of the screen are divided by a middle strip after the road.

A river, complete with logs, alligators, and turtles, can be seen in the top portion of the image. The user may direct the frog to safety by leaping on quickly moving logs, turtles' backs, and the backs of alligators and alligators. Alligators with their mouths open, snakes, and otters must all be avoided by the player. On occasion, a female frog with vibrant colors can be found on a log and transported for extra points. Five "frog houses" may be seen at the top of the screen. These occasionally include extra bugs or dangerous alligators. The game advances to the following stage, which is more challenging, until all five frogs are in their respective houses. The difficulty gradually grows with each level until it quickly eases at level five. The timer resets whenever a life is lost or a frog successfully enters a home. It gives each frog 30 seconds to find one of the homes.
