We look back at Frogger, released as an arcade cabinet in 1981. We talk about where the idea for Frogger came from, its development, and one person's fight to bring it over to North America from Japan. Our discussion has us taking a look at some critic and user reviews before we talk about all the different versions of Frogger that have come out in the last 40 years. Finally, we talk about a few Frogger clones that have been seen throughout the years. Get a hop on it and join us for today's leapfrogging trip down Memory Card Lane.
