Frogger: He's Back! for PC was strangely one the most played games of my childhood, the levels and feeling of pressing the arrow keys repeatedly to make frogger jump one space at a time are permanently seared into my brain. I don't know how it would hold up today lol but I loved it and was insanely hyped for the sequel, Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, which had mind-blowing graphics to 8 year old me. Not owning a home console till the PS2 was kinda weird in retrospect.

You should play it again and give us a report! "inexplicably beloved childhood games" remain one of the best shadow-genres because usually when you go back you'll find that for better or for worse those games inform a lot of what you like and don't like about games today.

I actually saw the PS1 version at the local game store a couple days ago, maybe I will!

git 'er done!!!! (but maybe for max nostalgia/understanding it should be the PC version? who knows what differences the PS1 version may have - or you could compare the two!)

(brandon:) OOPS heck, that's embarrassing. sorry about that. It's the COL that got me, even though the LE is just LEather. I obviously knew this but have not been to many US states so just kinda... forgot I guess.

Oh no worries at all, the only regret is CT not being able to do more for videogames than being a minuscule footnote (maybe someday it'll do more, not from me though)
