The worst thing: It is a bit repetitive.

Who hasn't never played that terrific game? In the beggining of time, the kings where the called ones (in Spain almost): little mars people (marcianitos in the language of Cervantes) games, then a game came with a funny personage: a little frog! The graphs for the time were the most beautiful (or at least this way they seemed to me with eight or ten years). Besides, it was the first game on that I typped (of a so called magazine 'Microhobby') in a newly bought Spectrum Sinclair 16K, as far back as '83. 

Always it looked like to me a spectacular game, and still today I spend in it the scanty whiles of leisure which I have in my harassed life. Since the readers of 'Marcianitos' will know we were handling a little frog who was far from his calm and pleasant pool riddled with juicy flies on that accompanying a few glasses of good wine. 

Well, then we have to gamble frog's skin to come to the pool five times. If we escape to the dangers that supposes a highway crammed with impious vehicles and manage to cross a river with a few very unstable trunks, we will accede to the following level. In this one, the complexity increases and now are pests that want to put our frog in their stomachs, some of them are: a serpent, a few crocodiles and something that has a very bad looking and it is not well known what it is, but it causes pain, sure...

I will not forget the sound that the recreative expressed when the protagonist was knocked down, or massacred by the horrible vermins, or drowned in the turbulent river, It caused me a shake difficult to describe, (I was no more than a child, remind that, and the video games were an innovation as no other up to the date). Nevertheless, the happiness was immense when I obtained a BIG frog in the upper part of the screen.

The game is a classic among the classic ones, and is worth re-living those nostalgic moments playing 'Frogger'. If you have not played to this game yet ... what are you waiting? You don't know what you are losing. Some people tell me that there's a clon for two players and that MAME probably emulates it. I do not know ... until I doesn't see it, I won't believe it. But if that is true, I will play again compulsively and unavoidably to this precious game and now not alone...
