Re:Retro

Egad! I suck at Frogger!

by Joel on August 26th, 2008

And I thought I was a good gamer.

I’ve been scouring the web for useful retro video gaming goodies when I stumbled upon a site that promised great Flash animation remakes of classic video games. When I reached the site, I found the selection very limited. Fortunately, one game got my attention. Yup, Frogger.

Unfortunately for me and a handful of my fans, which include my wife, my daughter and a few relatives, I didn’t get far in my first Frogger jump in nearly two decades.

Here’s how my little Frogger looked like after a few jumps:

SPLAT!

Sigh. Not to worry, though. I’m sure I’ll get my fingers working to perfection in a few hours, and get my name up on that high score list.

Oh, in case you’re wondering … this Flash animation version of Frogger, an arcade game introduced in 1981, is not sanctioned by developer Konami. It is, however, a fitting tribute to the original and a classic in its own right.

Think you have what it takes? Here, go knock yourself out:
