haha! I was showing some kids (16 and 17 years old) defender. I was explaining the controls and the object of the game and after watching me play for a while one of them says in a tone of disbelief "so nothing happens when you hit the mountains?"

Your son seemed to notice this, I never did over the years.
I only understood the simple equation water = bad.

I think it's more of a  "spiritual sequel."

It inherits a bit of game play and a frog theme, but isn't a true sequel. Frogger wasn't even Sega's game. They just released it. I guess by that logic, the "true" sequel to Frogger are the GameBoy Advance and PS2 games that Konami's released in the last couple years.

It seems everybody who's had the license to Frogger has wanted to make a sequel. First Parker Bros (Three Deep for 2600, etc), then Sega, then Hasbro (for PS1, DC, etc). At least Konami has the license back to their own game.

LOL!

"Back in MY day, the mountains were just imaginary!"

Show 'em Battlezone for further examples!   ;)
