Description: One for the kids from Mattel although an adult could be found having some fun with this one as well. A cute, original concept for a game that's almost identical to Atari's unreleased Frog Pond. Since Frog Pond was never released and to the best of our knowledge, no lawsuit was filed by Atari, it seems both companies may have been working on the same exact concept at the same time and Mattel won the race in this instance. Can you say early corporate espionage?
Easter eggs: See the programmer’s initials on the title screen and altered frog graphics: on the right controller, press and hold buttons ‘”0” and “5”. On the left controller, press and hold buttons “3” and “5”. Then press RESET.

Santulli Slant: Unusual title where two frogs race to see which can catch the most flies in the allotted time. Very addictive, with some interesting effects like a slow nightfall effect and a fly that buzzes by after the match with a little "The End" sign attached to it (ever try to tie one of those to a fly? Now that's entertainment!). [Gr: 9, So: 9, Ga: 7, Ov: 8]
