The WEIRDEST Frogger Ever Made
When most people think of Frogger, they picture the arcade cabinet, the home console ports, or maybe even the classic handheld LCD games. But in 2000, Tiger Electronics decided to take things a step further and turn Frogger into an actual frog-shaped handheld.
The result is one of the strangest licensed gaming gadgets I’ve ever come across.
Join me as I take a look at this quirky piece of retro gaming history, put it through its paces, and find out whether this goofy green frog is all gimmick—or a surprisingly fun way to play Frogger.

It’s definitely a very niche handheld. I love the aesthetic taste that was used. The controls are clever, yet infuriating. I can see this being a frequently used game. But, it was definitely fun to watch you try to play it!

Definitely bizarre, but cute. It would make a nice ornament in the basement.

I know that tiger did some amazing things with some of their licenses. I've seen all kinds of them in the '90s when I was growing up. Double Dragon 2, Ninja Warrior, Congo, (based on the movie) Jurassic Park, Aladdin, beauty and the beast.. I myself had a really cool version of rampage.

Very interesting. Even as a toy, it looks interesting. I could definitely see you putting this on your shelf somewhere to display, And people might not even realize it's an LCD game
