''Frogs and Flies'' is a 1982 video game by Mattel for the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 platforms. In this game, the player or players control a frog sitting on a lily pad. One frog is green and the other frog is red. The game can be played either by one or two players. The object of the game is to eat the most flies. Each game starts out in the morning with a light blue sky. If there is not a second player, the system will automatically take control of the red frog within a few seconds. Each frog jumps from one lily pad to the other. During each hop, a number of flies fly around the screen. The player pushes the fire button, which causes the frog's tongue to stick out. If the frog is in the right spot ahead or behind a fly, it catches and eats the fly. Each time a fly is captured it is worth two points. The game progresses throughout the day, with the sky turning a darker shade of blue, and eventually turning black as the day ends. About a minute after the sky turns black, the two frogs leave the screen – the green frog exits to the left, and the red frog to the right. A firefly then comes on to the screen carrying a "The End" message, which it leaves in the center of the screen. The frog who has captured the most flies at that point is the winner. There are two different levels to ''Frogs and Flies'' that players can select. On the first level, the jumping off and landing points are fixed, the user needs to time their jumps to catch any flies who may come into the frog's flight path. On the second level, the frogs are free to move about the ground to catch flies as the jumping and landing points are not fixed. A player can even cause a frog to jump into the water – in that case, the frog will swim back on to the nearest pad. Generally this is to be avoided since it takes several seconds for the frog to swim back to the pad. A version of this game was also released for Mattel's IntelliVision system, titled ''Frog Bog''; though it was graphically superior to ''Frogs and Flies'', its controls were less fluent. ==Ports== ''Frog Bog'' was made available on Microsoft's ''Game Room'' service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs in June 2010. A 16-bit version of the game named ''Frog Feast'', was released as homebrew by RasterSoft and published by OlderGames, respectively in 2005 for the systems: Neo Geo (MVS and CD),〔(www.frogfeast.rastersoft.net/NeoGeoSrc.html ) – Frog Feast: Neo Geo MVS cover.〕 Sega Genesis, Sega CD, SNES, Atari Jaguar and CD-i.〔(Frog Feast )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frogs and Flies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
