"860,630!"

"The perfect combination of Mountain Dew and Mozzarella. Just the right amount of grease on the joystick."

"Here's your pizza, pea brains."

"I think I remember why we stopped coming here."

Overrated Arcade Game

Look: 5/10 Functional

Sound: 5/10 Kind of annoying it feels the need to play a sound every time you jump/move. The music is cute enough, but the sound effects are so much louder and more annoying.

Play: 5/10 Reaction time for deaths is kinda slow, but of course the controls themselves are very responsive and well-executed. Otherwise, I don't have …

Play: 5/10 Reaction time for deaths is kinda slow, but of course the controls themselves are very responsive and well-executed. Otherwise, I don't have much positive to say about the game. Vastly overrated.

Feel: 6/10 Really just not that fun... I can't deny I used to enjoy watching really adept players rock through it, but other than that...

Attachment: 5/10 Nope

It's Frogger. What can I say? It's not a bad arcade game, though it's not my favorite. Very easy to pick up and play a round or two, very simple to control. I don't know why these frogs can't swim in the water though... My head canon is that there's something in the water that will insta-kill the frogs. I'll go with a merman dude with a trident. Just stabs the frogs, right there under the water. This serial killer merdude can not reach the little squares at the end where the frogs just chill at. Let's say there's a force field there, some kind of magical barrier placed by a shaman frog. Also, damn, are these frogs huge or what? Can't believe cars are okay with plowing into them, when the frogs are as huge as the cars.
