Old Atari 2600 game
Does anyone remember this???
"In the game, you are a frog, jumping from left to right and back again, trying to catch bugs with your tongue. " A buddy of mine got this game with a 2600 system from a thrift shop and the label was torn off the game. Apparently there is no title screen. |

I remember having Frog Bog on my old intellivision system. It was a neat little game.

Man, with all the 3D graphics, 3D surround sound, realistic lighting effects, etc... of all the games I play nowadays, it's amazing sometimes to look back at like the original Asteroids to see where games "came from".

I remember having the 2600 in its heyday. I was sooooo jealous of the 7800. "wow look at those graphics!"

No this was a game where you sit there and try to lick up flies with your super long toad tongue. It was great fun.

The Atari 7800 had possibly the worst controller design ever invented. You could play for about 15 to 20 minutes before your entire hand cramped up. |
