(2) OVERVIEW
Congratulations! You now own the classic arcade game, Frogger. The
goal of the game is simple, to safely maneuver 5 frogs across five
lanes of busy traffic, a fast moving river, three lanes of treacherous
logs, two lanes of swimming turtles, while avoiding snakes, alligators
and crocodiles. Sounds easy? YouÕll need lots of skill, and a bit of
luck, as you hop to victory, while trying not to become a highway
statistic by leaving your ÒmarkÓ on the roadway!
Good Luck!

(5) PLAYING A TWO-PLAYER
When playing a two-player game, each playerÕs turn will continue until
they have lost their current frog. After the current frog is lost, the
Get Ready Screen will appear indicating that the next player can begin
by pressing the Start Button. Play will alternate until both players
have lost all of their frogs.

(6) GAME SCREEN
Most of the screen displays the Roadway and River Areas of the game.
In the Roadway Area, which occupies the lower portion of the screen,
you must maneuver the frog between the moving traffic. In the River
Area, which occupies the upper portion of the screen, you must maneuver
the frog into one of the five open bays located at the very top of the
screen by way of the floating logs, turtles and crocodiles.

(7) THE GAME SCREEN
Score: The current score.
Frogs remaining: This shows how many frogs the player has in reserve.
When there are no more frogs displayed, the player is controlling their
last frog.
Timer Bar: This indicates how much time the current player has to
successfully maneuver their frog into an open bay. A warning sound
will be heard when less than 8 seconds remains. If time runs out, the
player will lose their current frog.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(8) HOW TO PLAY
Each player starts with 5 frogs. To maneuver the frog from its
starting position to the safety of an open bay, use the Control Pad as
follows:
Pressing Up hops the frog up the screen one lane.
Pressing Down hops the frog down one lane.
Pressing Left hops the frog to the left.
Pressing Right hops the frog to the right.
Avoid collision with all automobile traffic by hopping quickly between
the moving cars and trucks. Once across the road, hop onto the logs,
turtles, and crocodiles to safely maneuver into an open bay at the top
of the screen. Once you have successfully placed the current frog
safely into an open bay, the remaining time on the Time Bar will be
added to your score. Then you will begin again with a new frog at the
bottom of the screen and a full Timer Bar.
If at any time during play the current frog is hit by traffic, of falls
into the water, the player will lose that frog and will need to begin
at the bottom of the screen again with a new frog. If there are no
more frogs remaining, the game is over.
Press the Start Button at any time during play to pause the game.
Pressing the Start Button once again takes the game out of pause and
resumes play.

(11) HOPPING HINTS
1. Be sure to hop off the logs and turtles before reaching the left or
right edges of the screen, if you donÕt...frog legs any one?
2. Be careful of diving turtles, once they start to dive you better hop
off, or else!
3. Avoid the moving snake on the center wall at all costs, or else your
hisssssstory!
4. ItÕs safe to jump on the backs of the crocs and snakes, but not
their heads!
5. Collect flies that appear in the river bays for extra points, but
watch out for gator heads that appear, for you can only hop safely
into a gator filled river bay when its head is not completely
visible.
6. Link up with the hopping log frog and deliver it to an open bay for
extra points.
