It's simple but it's fun, so hop to it and play this compulsive
game
By SHARON KING, PAUL KING and DENNIS IBBOTSON
FROGS V Dogs is probably one of the most compulsive games we've
ever published. It's not the fastest game we've ever played, or
the most ingenious — it's quite simply the most enjoyable.
The idea comes from eight and a half year old Sharon King, and
her younger brother Paul, aged six and a half.
We published their letter describing the game in our December
1983 Micromail, asking for programmers to take up the challenge.
Dennis Ibbotson, the man who programmed the DACC Sprite Generator,
came to the rescue with this fun-packed interpretation of their
idea.
So, Sharon and Paul, here's your game.
All you have to do is to use the space bar to jump over Fido
the dog and the occasional poisonous lily pad — they're the flashing
ones.
The longer you survive, the more points you get.
Get more than 500 and you move onto a more difficult sheet.
Good luck!
