README file for Revenge of Froggie ... by PLBM Games
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File Updated: March 22, 1998
Registration information located at the bottom of this file.
Cheat Mode is Alt-F3 (registered version only).
System Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program requires an IBM PC or compatible with at least VGA.
In general, faster systems will run the program more efficiently.
Sound Blaster Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program contains routines to play digital sound on a Sound
Blaster or compatible card. However, this program does NOT
contain autodetection routines. This program relies upon the
BLASTER= variable being set appropriately in your environment.
If the BLASTER= variable is set incorrectly, the program may
crash. If the BLASTER= variable is absent the program will
NOT attempt to use Sound Blaster sound.
Additionally you will need to have free EMS memory to hear
all digital sounds (they're too big to fit in conventional
memory). The sounds deemed "most important" to game play
will be loaded into conventional memory on a first-come, first-
served basis. To hear ALL sounds you will need enough EMS
free to fit the file ROFSFX.DBO. Check free EMS with the
MEM command under DOS.
If your SoundBlaster is very old then the BLASTER= variable
may not be set. In this case you could try one of the following:
set BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T1
set BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1

Game Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~
You are in control of a little frog. The object of the game
is to safely jump your little frog from the bottom of the
screen across the lanes of traffic, across the treacherous
water rapids, and into one of the "safe harbors" near the
top of the screen. Various other hazards may appear from time
to time, including snakes and crocodiles.
Various "goodies" also appear. You might encounter a female
frog bouncing around on one of the logs out in the river.
Rescue her and receive additional bonus points.
Classic vs Extended Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Revenge of Froggie is actually two games in one. You may
choose from the main menu to either play the Classic or
the Extended version of the game. Each version keeps a
separate score chart for the high scores.
The following features distinguish play in extended mode:
- difficulty changes at a slightly different pace
- your frog starts randomly at the bottom (not always centered)
Both play modes are provided in the hopes that you will
enjoy the game enough to send in your registration fee. :)
Scoring:
~~~~~~~~
Advance forward one lane (traffic or river): 10
Safely "docking" your frog in a goal: 50
Delivering the lady frog safely: 200
Catching a fly in the goal: 200
Completing all five (or seven) goals (one level) 1000
Bonus seconds left at the end of the level (each) 10
All points are multiplied by the points multiplier, which is
displayed at the start of each level.
You earn an extra frog (life) every 10,000 points.
Note that scoring changed on January 6, 1996 to be like the
arcade version. If you have a score chart created BEFORE
January 6, 1996 the old scores are no longer compatible and
will not show in the new game.
