Frogger is an
arcade game introduced in
1981. It was developed by
Konami, and licensed for worldwide distribution by
Sega/
Gremlin. The object of the game is to direct
frogs to their homes one by one. To do this, each frog must avoid cars while crossing a busy road and navigate a
river full of hazards. Skillful players may obtain some bonuses along the way. The game is regarded as a classic from the
golden age of video arcade games and was noted for its novel gameplay and theme. It was also an early example of a game using more than one CPU, as it used two
Z80 processors.
Frogger is still popular and versions can be found on many
Internet game sites.
