Superfrog is probably one of the best-known 2D Platformers for the Amiga, and definitely one of Team17's best efforts pre-Worms. However, as well-known as it may be, the opinions along gamers regarding Superfrog are widespread, from some (myself included) who regard it as one of the greatest 2D Platformers ever, to others who see it as 'just another platformer', or 'a Sonic clone for the Amiga'. But whatever you may think about Superfrog, you cannot argue with fact - most gamers absolutely love it. Superfrog's plot is a rather skewed fairy tale (described in the manual as 'almost a fairy tale', in fact), in which the Witch kidnaps the Princess and turns the Prince into a Frog. Sound familiar? Okay, but then the Frog drinks some Lucozade and turns into a Superhero? Not so familiar, in fact, but that is all of a story we need to start playing Superfrog. Drink Lucozade, rescue Princess. What a story! 10

One of the best platformers Amiga, the PC version of Team 17's classic Superfrog is a faithful reproduction of the original (minus the excellent Amiga soundtrack). The game is a good example of a flawless execution of a mundane concept. The object of the game, like most other games of its ilk, is to collect the required amount of coins and get to the exit in each level. Team 17 implements this very cliche premise so well that Superfrog stands out among platformers. You can kill enemies by jumping on them or by throwing a ball (which you have to find) at them. Some enemies cannot be killed, so you will just have to avoid them. There are 6 different levels, each one varies nicely from one another. The levels include Forest, Haunted House, Ice World, Egyption, Carnival, and Space. There is also a bonus shooting level that's a lot of fun to play (and replay). At the end of each level, you can play a fun slot machine-style sequence, in which you can win a extra lives, bonus points, or a password. That's right: you have to *earn* a "save slot" in this game by winning the password this sequence. After your wrists are tired from all that jumping and bouncing, you might have to restart the ...(more) level all over again if you fail to win the password. That's my only big complaint about the game, but fortunately the passwords are usually not that difficult to get. As one can expect from Team 17, the graphics in the game are excellent, with various animation effects (bordering on the cutesy side). With huge levels (including even secret ones you'll enjoy finding), great controls and playability, and an overall very polished design, Superfrog is simply a must-have for all fans of platform games. Highly recommended! Note: We have been asked by Team 17 to remove downloads of all their games. Please contact the company directly if you are interested in purchasing any out of print titles.
