Title: Superfrog HD: Amiga Effort or Classic Platforming Action?
Post by: SysAdmin on August 03, 2013, 12:09:32 AM
Superfrog was one of two attempts to create an Amiga game to rival the original Sonic The Hedgehog. The game is fondly remembered by Amiga fans, but can a platformer that is now twenty years old capture hearts once more, or should the amphibious hero been left on of his lily pad?

I've been playing it so much over the past 24 hours there is pain in arm muscles I didn't even know I had.
Go Team 17!

The few reviews I've seen so far seem to agree that Superfrog would've been better off having been left in the past. Personally I wasn't too great a fan of the Alien Breed re-imaginings either. Frozen Byte beat Team 17 to it with Shadowgrounds.

SuperFrog was massively over-rated in the 1st place in my opinion. Mediocre, generic platform game with no real character or charm hidden behind some reasonably slick presentation. There's plenty of better Amiga platform games.
