Frogger, as if I need to explain, is a game about dodging cars and hopping over logs with a frog to catch flies and jump in the ponds on the other side of a river -- sometimes carrying a girl frog with you for extra points. Complicated setup.
I've never been that big of a fan of Frogger and the million types of Frogger-esque imitative games that it spawned (like Freeway on the 2600) but it also has its place in game history. The design is simple and somewhat satisfying but very repetitive even with variations in the levels as you progress forwards. The challenge is simple and easy to understand.
It's fun, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to someone other than to take note of its importance as a big hit in the golden age of the arcade.
3.5 - Good: Good but still lacking something that propels it to greatness
