Frogger is a classic game nearly everyone remembers. The quick-footed amphibian belongs in the Hall of Fame alongside Lara Croft, Mario, and Sonic for early video game characters who remain in the public consciousness. The objective of a game of Frogger is simple: The player must guide a frog through perilous traffic, across a river filled with logs and nasty spiders, and to the safe spot at the end of the screen. Anyone who’s sceptical this old classic can’t compare to modern offerings will be pleasantly surprised by Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition, which recently became available on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise.

"To counter this the developers have included the option to change the skins in the game to enable the player to utilise these new looks or revert to a more modern yet classic look or even play in a style which the game was originally made. Probably the most interesting feature however are the skins from other cult favourite games such as Contra which are included and although these raise a few smiles do nothing really to change how the game plays."
