Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Because of the clarity and if that got lost in the other thread.
The playable version of a Fogger style game for the PicoMite VGA.

The concept of Frogger is simple. Just get that frog from A to B. Yet it’s a challenge to execute.

The Game:
Move your frog carefuly. Avoid the moving vehicles. On the river, jump across the logs to get your frog to its “frog home”. There are five of these homes, so you have to repeat this four more times.



The Program:
This is the basic structure of the game. What is missing  in this Version are levels, lady-frog, crocodiles, Beaver, Flies and diving Turtles. So there is a lot of room for improvement. Developed on PicoMite Version 5.07.05RC..
Tested on Firmaware 5.07.06 and 5.07.07RC6

Actually there are 2 versions of this Game:
On for Mixtel90s Pico Game Console, which supports Atari joysticks, NES controllers and/or PS2 keyboard.
(many thanks to thwill)
picofrog_Game.zip

And a Keyboard only Version, for PS2 and Terminal Keyboard control.
(thanks to Volhout)
picofrog_keyb.zip

Thanks to everyone who supported me in this project,
matherp and Geoffg for keeping BASIC uptodate

Take care

Martin, have you considered a version for the Game*Mite and possibly the CMM2?

I have fond memories of playing this game on the C64 with my daughter way back when.
