A quiet, simple, relaxing game.

Frog Bog is a cute, unique game. There isn't anything really outstanding about the game play, but graphically it's pleasing. The sound is simple, but well-done. The nighttime option is fun. There's just something about this game that makes it seem better than it really is, but I can't put my finger on it. I do recall that in "free-style" mode, controlling the frog can be a bit tough. We did have fun laughing at each other's poor control of the frogs in those cases. Mattel also released this for the Atari VCS as Frogs 'n' Flies, but the graphics were incredibly lame.

A total of four Frog Bog box variants have been documented.

	Title screen for Frog Bog.
	Graphically pleasing game screen. The chirping of the crickets and general quietude of the game actually is relaxing.
