How Long Is Preppie!?
Clunky, But Fun Frogger-Style Game. Oddly Adventure International, Too
This review is for the Atari 8-bit version
Look: 9/10
Wow what an absurd but beautiful title screen. 
Wait, but then it became this title screen? lol k. 
Anyway, the font is really great in the UI: 
Sound: 8/10 Usually I don't care for funerary music playing when you die, but the Atari crunch is just right in this game. All the sounds are excellent in it. I really like the music that plays during gameplay, though can't claim I was emotionally moved like with Phoenix or strikingly good like with the Atari Superman.
Play: 6/10 I'm just not a big fan of Frogger gameplay. As slow and clucky as this is, I kinda prefer this to Frogger--just because of its absurdity and, well, really that's the only reason why. The jump control is so poorly done lol, oh microcomputer games. Nonetheless, I oddly had fun getting past the first couple levels on this heh. Everything just moves too slowly, like with the TRS-80, to be a truly fun arcade style game though. Even tho I enjoyed this a decent amount, probly stick with arcade Frogger if you're looking for that gameplay ha.
Feel: 8/10

Lol "So, why go slumming with lesser simulations? You'll be the toast of the country club with PREPPIE!" also "fashion-conscious gamester" nice loll. (From the booklet available from Atarimania of course) I'm surprised this is an Adventure International release, but I suppose the imaginative manual/insert shows that a bit heh. Jumping from boat to boat is actually quite fun, albeit clunky as heck.
Attachment: 6/10 As surprisingly fun as it was, and how funny the manual/insert was, I can't claim I will probly ever actually replay this lol. Not a big fan of Frogger etc.
