Meet Ribbit the frog. Unlike most frogs, Ribbit is a strict vegetarian. Still, the dragonflies at his pond are irresistable, and he enjoys swatting them from the air with his long tongue. Unfortunately for Ribbit, a neighborhood snake has acquired a taste for frog.
To play Leap Frog, be sure to have your joystick plugged into port two. The game begins with Ribbit making his way to the center of a log. Use the joystick to move Ribbit to the left or right. Flies descend from above and then move about the screen. Press the firebutton to send Ribbit's tongue darting out to swat the dragonflies from the air. But be sure to dodge each one as it drops, because if one hits him, he will think that the snake is after him and he'll hop off to safety.
The snake moves randomly back and forth, with his head bobbing above the log. To hop over the snake, push the joystick up-left or up-right. If you touch the snake, Ribbit will hop off the screen and you'll lose one frog. You begin the game with three frogs, and earn an extra frog for every 2000 points. Clear all of the dragonflies from the screen and you will move to the next, faster level.
Use the shift-lock key to pause the game, and the RUN/Stop key to return to Basic. To play the game, load Leapfrog from Menu 64. Now, the next time you're looking for a challenge, don't just sit there like a bump on a log, get hopping with Leap Frog.
