That's good and all, but I honestly think that FrAWgGuts is a relatively
poor Frogger game with some major bugs (much like Zetris was a relatively
poor Tetris game with some major bugs), and would probably be better if the
bugs were squashed before porting took place. I like the effort that was put
into the game, except the game was prone to a lot of mess-ups (I once had to
reset my calc because FrAWgGuts somehow became corrupt -- I think because I
simply backed up my stuff on someone elses' calc or on my PC). See if you
can get Derrick Ward (didn't he make it?) to fix some of the errors.. If
not, fix them yourself before you port. Most of all, unlike games like
Galaxian and Spaze Invaders, it isn't as much fun as it is to play the real
games on MAME (IMHO, Spaze Invaders is moreso, because it seems to play a
little bit faster). Oh, god, I gotta get myself another calc..... Emulators
just aren't as good. :)
