Road Toad

Nothing new or original here - a carbon copy of Frogger. You are trying to cross a road first, dodging cars, lorries, the police, etc; and you traverse a river by hopping between leaves, logs and turtles. You are awarded a bonus for every toad which returns home. After four toads have successfully returned, you progress to the next skill level while life gets more hazardous.

The game is a very good version of the original, with excellent sound, graphics and colour. The smooth movement and good joystick control make the game very playable. The main criticism is the price - at £8.95 one would have expected something a little more original.
