Frog’s
Original Miscellany
Welcome to a
section of the site which is dedicated to encountering Superfrog on your
travels – basically, anything you see connected with Superfrog, take a snap of
it and send it in my direction, and I’ll stick it up here. This includes cameos
in other games, and copies of Superfrog you see lying around in unlikely
places. Reviews, summaries, and stuff like that go in the Press Section. Either
way, contributions welcome.
Penny
Wyatt sent in this picture of a copy of
Superfrog she spotted while browsing through an Amiga show. Interestingly
there’s also a disk marked “Aminet” in the picture –
that’s a site about the Amiga, isn’t it?

On the
Team17 classic “Alien Breed”, made by the same development team as Superfrog,
there is an advert for Superfrog. Squirminator2K was kind enough to take screenshots of all the slides from
the advert. On the downloads page you can also
download the music for it.
Rare promo
shots in the same style:
And here are
some shots of an unfinished Superfrog, early development style. I want to play
this version! Thanks to Thomas for these.
Superfrog
also often turns up for sale on eBay. Here are some snaps of copies of the game
people are selling (well, why not?)
A company
named Realspawn Productions recently started making a
Superfrog fan-game, which eventually became Super-Lizzy,
a project which was also shelved. This is very unfortunate, but the promo screenshots
can still be found here.
Mogwai sent me this
interesting e-mail:
Basically, in FFVIII there's a card game throughout, that
you can play. Cards have numbers on, and its a 2
player game, the aim to take your opponents’ cards using your own (it's more
complicated, but I can't really explain!) For the game (called Triple Triad),
check out ttadvance.ca.
But that isn't really what I e-mailed you about! People
create their own Triple Triad cards, and on the forums of TT Advance there are
some really nice decks that people have made, using various cartoons, games,
etc for the images.
I've always liked making my own cards, and it was ideas for
decks of cards that escaped me. Then, I remembered Superfrog! I set about
making a deck of cards for that classic game, and your website provided most of
the images I used (there being nowhere else on the internet that has
screenshots of ALL the Superfrog enemies!).
Mogwai’s deck of cards was pretty damn cool, but unfortunately, his
site seems to have vanished.
This is from the Amiga game Happy Monster. Do you
notice any similarities, perchance?
Thanks for Leo for sending this in. In case you’re wondering, this is an iPAQ, running an emulated version of Superfrog. Superfrog
on the go! Brilliant! Leo also sent in a couple of shots of Superfrog running
on a couple of different

Well, not exactly Superfrog… but close! From
the Guardian (G2 supplement),
Thomas Sutherland sent
this piece of information in:
There’s a Wii Homebrew game called “Scogger”,
a puzzle game with a frog. (Note: “Wii Homebrew” is a
system of hacking a Wii and making old games or
self-created games available to play on your Wii.)
“This game doesn’t actually mention that it
uses Superfrog music in it (that displeases me),” says Thomas, “but I’ve played it, and it does.”
I (Pooka)
don’t have a chipped Wii or use Wii
Homebrew – Wii Homebrew is illegal… not that it
bothers me, but I won’t want to risk my Wii hardware…
but my friend Morti has, and having played Scogger, I can confirm that it
does indeed use unaccredited Superfrog music. It’s also quite a boring game,
but that’s not the point…
