I Grew up with this game; i still have the tape, box and an eprom i copied it to

[eclectica1]

Hahaha...I used to have this when I was little.

Ah, the joys of a BBC Mirco Model B (cassette).

I made a pigs arse of my exams thanks to Frogger, Planetoids, & Rocket Raid, but it was worth it! :D

[chuck6502peddle]

Oh the memories I have of playing this at school at lunchtime!

I don't understand why the original frogger music was replaced with Yankee Doodle in some of the later games. I don't really have a problem with it, but I was kind of confused.

I had a BBC Micro as a kid, there were some great ports/blantant rip-offs of classic arcade and atari games. I loved this one but I found myself asking the same question over and over again... Why can't they go in the water? They're freakin' frogs!!!

[whatsthatcar]

well if they went in the water they might get distracted by other things or maybe a female frog so...for the mission its best to cross the river

Hydrophobia, flapjack.

I've not seen this game for over 20 years, but i played it so much as a kid, i even remembered the sequence of tunes

Brings back memories of me & about 10 mates round my TV at school dinner break for 'Hopper' tournaments lol

I had the Acorn Electron & it came supplied with about 5 games, Hopper,Boxer,Snapper,Chess & one with office programs (Logorythms?)

I loved that Acorn - Hopper & Ghouls were the two standout games i remember

[wiifan135]

That music is anoying. It dosen't stop!!!!

[aljertrev]

If I didn't know better,I'd say this is Frogger.

A Trademark issue, see discussions on Galaxian/Arcadians, PacMan/Snapper, Galaxians/Arcadians, Defender/Planetoid etc...

[ojideagu]

How did they even get away with making this game. I grew up with this BBC version hopper but subconciously i have always thought of it as frogger didnt think of them as different.

[Btojb]

The story is called Frogger.

[Uberlaser]

@Btojb Nope - It's 'Hopper', which is a Frogger clone for the BBC Micro

I love this game and had this game back in the 1980's when i had only a budget priced acorn electron.Couldnt afford a bbc micro back then.Poor old days.

[dafyddoe]

No wonder you couldn't afford one, they were very expensive for the time. I saw some prices on a website celebrating retro systems.. I nearly fell off my chair. I had an acorn electron, though I was only born in 83.
