Frogs

Frogs is a 1978 action video game developed and published by Gremlin Industries for arcades. It featured a jumping character (predating Donkey Kong by three years) with graphics “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. The game was distributed by Sega in Japan.

游戏玩法

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 along a log.

Mattel released Frogs and Flies for the Atari 2600, which was renamed Frog Bog for the Intellivision version. Both were published in 1982.
