Look, up in the sky: It’s a fish! It’s a frog! It’s Superfrog!

One of the best-known 2D platformers for PC and Amiga jumps straight into our catalog for $5.99 only on GOG.com.
This ‘almost a fairy tale’ tells a story of an unnamed prince who finds himself turned into a frog, his princess kidnapped, and generally all lost beyond retrieval. Suddenly, a wild bottle of Lucozade appears and saves the day. Apparently, drinking this miraculous potion grants frogs temporary super powers, which sounds exactly like what this little green prince needs. Enter a new mighty hero: Superfrog now has the means (a lot of Lucozade) to defeat the evil witch and rescue his beloved princess. Armed with superspeed, superjump, fairly regular cape, and the fearsome Destructospud (his faithful flying potato sidekick), Superfrog needs to complete 24 levels across 6 worlds, defeat many memorable enemies, and finally send the evil witch wherever witches should be sent to complete a fairy tale.

Superfrog is an amazing example of Amiga-esque platform gaming at its best. Team 17’s best-seller delivers much more platforming enjoyment than you'd expect from your average nameless green amphibian. Superfrog offers simple but addictive gameplay, stunning and detailed visuals, amazing music, and tons of 2D cuteness, which is certainly more than enough to satisfy any platformer-lover.

Although it may not be as well known as the Worms franchise, this pixelated amphibian is definitely worth $5.99 for your own Superfrog on GOG.com.

NOTE: This is the MS-DOS version of the game, but our QA team has confirmed that you can indeed finish it. If you're wondering if you can beat the GOG.com version of the game, worry no more. ;)

StarEye: (I always get screen tearing in these old PC games on my monitor, probably can't cope with the low resolution).
With DOSBox one potential solution is setting fullresolution to 0x0 and output to openglnb.

I wonder if the "bug" mentioned in that user review was actually some kind of copy protection. I remember running into a very similar problem on the... ahem... pirated Amiga version I had.

Bought (in 5 mins at least).

How awesome is this game? It looks very good and promising, I wanted to play awesome platformer in long while...

This was pretty awesome back in my youth, best platformer on the Amiga probably. Though I definitely prefered some of the platformers on other systems, like Super Mario Brothers 3 or Sonic 2.

This indeed was the best platformer released for Amiga. But if you are looking for more: Yo! Joe! and Chuck Rock

I forgot how great the music is in this game, but I just looked up some gameplay videos and above all it really is the music that stands out.

Chuck II - Son of Chuck is more playable than Chuck Rock. Using a club to hit your enemies with is better than using an overgrown belly.

Yo! Joe! is a forgotten masterpiece.

This announcement gives me the strange urge to drink Lucozade. How odd.

Funnily enough the Lucozade advert is still in there - I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to get out of there. Was that clarified with Lucozade? I'd guess the marketing deal between T17 and Lucozade has long expired...

My XBox controller works great with the game . . . I've only played about ten minutes so there are some things I haven't tried yet but . . . so far, so good . . . =)

Do they have to clear it with Taco Bell whenever somebody sells a copy of Demolition Man?

Superfrog is excellent, definitely one of Team17's best efforts, they should have done a sequel. For the Amiga though, Prince of Persia and Flashback were the best platformers for me. Oh, and a honourable mention to Ruff 'n' Tumble too.

bansama: Cloanto's Amiga Forever

Wishbone: If only it was the Amiga version. I still have fond hopes that GOG will sell Amiga games someday.

TheEnigmaticT: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Has our clueless enigmatic T (or any GOG representative for that matter ;)) ever stated what exactly is keeping them from distributing Amiga games?
A case like this seems to be the perfect case where there would be real benefit (asides from the generally better graphics and sound) and I simply can not imagine that Cloanto would deny being featured in a deal with GOG.
Is it the cut back on revenue (having to share with Cloanto), the additional platform their support would have to handle, or legal mumbo-jumbo?
Has there even been any contact to Cloanto yet?

Fujek: ... or legal mumbo-jumbo?
My money is on this. For a start, you would need something comparable to DosBox for Amiga. An emulator working under a similar licence. Is there something like this available?

Once something like that is secured, it wouldn't be very different from signing DOS games. It might actually be easier, as there are no "Dos distribution/publishing rights" to be concerned about.
