Frog Bog

1982, developed by APh Technological Consulting

Frog Bog is a video game released by Mattel Electronics in 1982, developed by APH Technological Consulting. Players control a frog on a lily pad, competing to catch the most insects within a three-minute time limit. The challenge involves using the frog's tongue to capture flying insects while avoiding falling into the water, which would waste valuable time. The game features a dynamic day-night cycle that progressively makes insect-catching more difficult as the background transitions from morning to night, adding complexity to gameplay. The player with the most insects at the end of the time limit wins the game.
