Where can I download a full version of Superfrog?

As Superfrog was re-released by Good Old Games in 2012, you can download the full game for a small fee ($5.99 – about £4) by following this link. Because it is being legitimately sold in this way, I’m not hosting full copies of the game any more, sorry! But I do urge you to buy this. If you’re not sure you can justify paying for Superfrog and want to play a few levels, there are demo versions available to play which you can grab from my downloads page. I'm sure you'll enjoy them!

Why has your e-mail address got [spam] in it?

It hasn’t; spam-bots these days are kind of merciless. If you want to e-mail me, then click one of the e-mail links and remove the [spam] bit. For reference, my e-mail address is now:

Why did you choose Superfrog?

I chose to base a website on Superfrog because I think that it deserves more justice than just having the story printed over and over again on the Internet with links to Team17's website. I think it is a great game and I want to show my dedication to it.

What makes Superfrog so great? Isn't it just a platform game?

Well, yes. Superfrog is just a platform game. However, in its time it was a revolutionary platform game because it introduced challenge, superb 360-degree scrolling, sub-games and more. It was (and still is!) a very clever game and a complete joy to play.

Who is responsible for Superfrog?

Team17 Software (I don't work for them, honest!) is the company which developed Superfrog. They also published the Amiga version, while Ocean held the rights to distribute the PC version of the game, as well as GOG.com in recent times. Lucozade provided in-game branding with Superfrog.

Coal is to water as a lightbulb is to?

Wet coal.

The music on Superfrog is cool. Can I get it?

Yes. On the Downloads page of this site, there is a fine selection of tunes - some are in MOD format and some are in MIDI format, as well as a couple of exclusive remix tracks, and a brilliant title-music MP3.

Allister Brimble wrote the music for Superfrog.

Is this website official or unofficial?

This site is an unofficial one, with some official content; I have had some contact with various Team17 members, who have done certain things like provide interviews and information. As far as official sites go, there are none. The closest you will get is this page on Team17’s official site, which is the only place it is mentioned.

This site is, however, extremely comprehensive, and as far as finding information on Superfrog is concerned, this is the place you probably want to be!

Who are your favourite band?

James - British rock/indie band.

Can you help me with emulating Superfrog (using WinUAE)?

Right. I'm sorry about this, and I would like to thank the following people for their help on WinUAE and emulators: Tinus, Penny Wyatt, Stephen Coates, Mortuus47, Eirik Vea, and quite a few others. I'm very sorry to say that the WinUAE Emulating Section of this site has been taken down, and it's not going back up again. I can't really respond to individual requests for technical help with emulation any more, and I hate the horrible, fiddly programs.

If you want to emulate Superfrog, you can download Mortuus47's special config and the Superfrog ADFs from the downloads page and configure WinUAE yourself.

What Superfrog clones are available?

Check out the Superfrog Clones page – Superfrog Arcade.

Could you make a chat room?

I could, but it depends on how many people are interested - and so far, there seem to be not many interested. IRC Chatting is fun to do and easy to learn/access with a simple little Java applet, but what the hell… If you want to find me on IRC Chat, though, and you have a program like mIRC, you can find me on irc.knightmare.org.uk on Sunday evenings after eight o'clock.

Whoosh, that went straight over your head, didn't it?
