Psycho Shopper

Psycho Shopper is the latest line in Frogger from Mastertronic.

There are three roads to be hopped across and coins to be collected en route. The coins explain the shopper bit in the title.

For those of you who were still tadpoles when this game started out in the arcades, the idea is very simple. Hop your frog to the other side of the road avoiding the traffic as you go. I can't say for sure whether or not you are supposed to be a frog in Psycho Shopper. Certainly you are green, but then you appear to have several legs. Maybe you're supposed to be an octopus. Are they green?

Anyway, the game plays a reasonable game of Frogger even if the graphics leave a lot to be desired.

I'm sorry this review is so short, but what more can you say about a third-rate cover version of a boring old game like Frogger.

Available now from Mastertronic at £1.99 for the Vic-20 with an 8K RAM pack.
