Frogs is a single-player action arcade game released by Gremlin in 1978. It notably featured a jumping character (predating Donkey Kong by 3 years).[1] The game's graphics are "projected" by laying the monitor flat on its back and reflecting the computer-generated graphics of the frogs and flies toward the player via a mirror at a 45-degree angle. (The game's graphics were actually generated and shown backward, so the mirror reflection would show letters and numbers properly.)[1] The game was distributed by Sega in Japan.[2]
Gameplay
The player controls a frog on lilypads and attempts to catch (with the frog's tongue and while jumping) various insects (butterflies and dragonflies) worth different numbers of points in a set amount of time.
Legacy
In 1980, Adventure International published a similar game with varying names–Frog, Frogs, Frog on a Log–for the TRS-80. In this version the player controls a large frog that moves left or right on a log.[3]
Mattel released Frogs and Flies for the Atari 2600, which was renamed Frog Bog for the Intellivision version. Both were released in 1982.
