- I'm beginning to get really impressed with Team 17 - they are
- producing some excellent stuff.
-
- As you know, I don't normally go for arcades and only mention them
- when they are out of the ordinary. And this one is. It seems that
- it's a Sonic the Hedgehog clone, though I wouldn't know since that
- sort of game does not interest me.
-
- Whatever it is, all I can tell you is that it's very entertaining.
- The graphics are marvellous, and so is the animation. The sounds
- are fine, too. The cartoons are worth seeing, just for the fun of
- it - they are really good.
-
- When you start you get treated to a view of Superfrog (and very
- dashing, too); then you are shown the sort of thing which can be
- picked up and for what. After that you can select your options,
- which basically means how hard or easy you want the arcade to be and
- how many lives - 7 weren't enough for me!
-
- There are 5 worlds and each consists of several levels. The
- gameplay you all know - use the directional keys to move around,
- ALT to jump and CTRL to fire (when you find the right item). You go
- around trampling on nasties, picking things up and doing the right
- thing to get to the next world while trying to stay alive. In each
- level, you have to collect a certain number of coins to get the exit
- to the next level open. Nothing very unusual in that, to be sure.
-
- But finish a level and you will be given the chance to gamble with a
- fruit machine for the level code and other goodies. How is that for
- an extra bit of fun?
-
- I think both children and adults will find this game amusing even if
- it isn't the arcade to end all arcades.
