· HIDDEN MESSAGE: Both controller button combinations must all be done simultaneously, then press RESET - on the RIGHT controller, hold 0+5. On the LEFT, hold 3+5. The title screen will appear as “TAS & ASN & PK present Froys DEI ©1982” (picture #1). TAS is for Tom A. Soulanille and PK is for Peter Kaminski. Anyone know what ASN or DEI stand for? Also, the graphics will be different (picture #2 - Aph’s “mascot”?). {Carl Mueller}
· A prototype version exists, which is titled “Frogs” and dated 1981 (picture #3). It also has a number of other differences (picture #4) – the frog graphics are different, there’s no Easter egg or night scene (if you let it sit for a few minutes, the screen goes completely black). It’s only 2-player, and there’s very little sound effects (except when jumping or catching flies) Notice the frogs look larger and are different colors than the released version. If you start a game by pressing 3, you move noticeably slower. Also, the control scheme varies, depending on which variation you’re playing.
· The initials DEI that show up in all the different APh games stand for "Dabney Eats It". More info on this can be found at: http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/dei/ {Joseph Zbiciak}
