The Frogger
Frogger is a videogame that was originally developed by Konami. It is one of the most loved arcade videogames that was released by Sega in the US. The classic characters and theme have made it popular in the late 1980s among gamers from all ages. Frogger actually leapt into the videogame scene in 1981 which transformed gamers into log-hopping players.
Frogger became so popular that Atari VCS, Atari 5200, Game Boy as well as the Mac and PC have created their own versions of it. The most successful remake was Hasbro which sold millions of copies later. The developers focused on keeping the game virtually unchanged. The only things that were updated were the graphic presentation and increase of game levels.
How to play Frogger?
Basically the goal of the game is to transport frogs safely across to their lily pads. They are the only non-swimming frog family that ever existed in this world and needed the help of the players to get across a variety of obstacles to be able to return to their home. Frogger is being played vertically. The frog shall be guided from the bottom to the top of the screen. You earn bonus points for eating flies and escorting lady frogs' home along the way. Play with Frogger and you will never have a dull moment. As you guide more frogs across, the danger you encounter also progresses.
The busy highway is packed with lanes of speeding cars and trucks. Players must cross over a treacherous river filled with hungry alligators, snakes, otters and fickle minded turtles. Be quick to hop over moving logs. You must also be swift to jump at the backs of these turtles before they dived into the river to avoid you. Try not to be included in the frog diet of the otters too. Keep your eyes wide open and your mind alert to be able to continue hopping until you reach home. The lily pads are located at the top of the screens. Players are given a certain amount of time to finish each level. You may advance to the next screen when all five frogs are brought safely to their homes.
Keep your fingers crossed and keep your breath while making the deliveries for the next level. The cars in the highway now run like high speed luxury cars. The enemies are even deadlier. The challenge is to take what is impossible - being alive during the transport! It would be very difficult to navigate the frog across the danger zone successfully. It is advisable that your browser supports Shockwave for a better in gaming experience.
Creating your own Frogger
The challenge is open to programmers and designer who would want to make a little twist of the original Frogger design. Frogger is the perfect platform to start innovating and creating a game of your own. You may maintain the core idea and fill in some twist in the danger zones. The result will be your Frogger like program design. That's how some games came into existence.
Frogger sales soaring high
Frogger, Frogger Puzzle and Frogger for Prizes have grossed sales over $10 million. This statistics is for US alone. Frogger is a registered trademark of Konami. As of September 2006, Frogger mobile game sales have already exceeded $10 million. In June of 1982, Frogger has contributed $40 million out of the Parker Brothers video orders report of $60 million. This tells us that Frogger is still the widely played videogame in US.

The Aged 50 Plus - Home Computer Optimization Situation
The 50 plus crowd within the United States didn't grow up using computers at school or within the work environment because in our early years the desktop computer and laptops didn't in all actuality exist within the consumer marketplace. We have cell phones now that are smaller than the size of a cinder block and computers no longer require more square footage than a five room home. Yes, time has progressed and I'm proud to say the fifty plus crowd my children seem to think are 10 days older than dirt; managed to adapt to the modern day technical advances as well.
Computer use by our aging population revealed in 2004 that 46% of those aged between 59 to 68 now use and enjoy Internet access at home. Just over 76% of those within the ages of 50 and 58 use computers as a direct result of computers being a common place necessity and requirement to function or perform our jobs within the modern day work environment. However, it must be noted using a work computer and having to keep it optimized and safeguarded is usually the task of the resident wiz kid or a dedicated technical type (IT) staff. So what happens when the home PC slows, crashes or is somehow compromised?
As I see there are a number of emergence repair tactics that can be implemented. First and foremost is the panic call to our children to come over and troubleshoot the situation. After all, they have been using computers since first grade and that pretty much makes them an expert right? Once you discover their ability to social network and post videos on Utube doesn't speed up the computer the second option is; to research and find registry repair, spyware, adware and about 100 other software solutions that have incremental probabilities of resolution. Last but not least the computer can be drug into a service facility or a technician home visit can be scheduled that will ultimately cost as much as a 2d mortgage home loan. Well, none of that has any source of good old fashioned stubbornness and common sense. As I also see it ' there is always a solution in the face of any and all problems.
I remember that conversation at the plant where something sounding a lot like a termination threat motivated me to actually start touching a computer keyboard way back when. I still remember a series of training classes that I attended that were moderated by a technician that today wouldn't be allowed to have friends in his car let alone use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. Seems to me he still had spit behind his ears. But, putting all that behind, he did a really great job of teaching all of us how to get around those old computer operating systems proficiently. We were ready to tackle Donkey Kong, Pong and any Atari game in existence buried in the home closet. That being a monumental achievement I like many others actually bought a home computer. I used it a lot and as all things being put into use, the computer slowed to a crawl.
I'm lucky because somewhere in the process of aging I found time to attend a technical trade institute where despite the fact my classmates thought I was a professor; I along side of them learned to build a computer from the ground up. Some of the residual training included troubleshooting the system and a resulting ability to keep it and my personal and financial information safeguarded from intruders that come in the form of hackers, worms, Trojans, viruses, adware, etc., etc. I learned to do a mass of little things to keep it (the computer) optimized as well and these series of events; are things we all need to learn to do.
Most people are clueless when it comes to debugging, defragging, defusing this that or whatever it takes to keep the home computer operating efficiently. But, the simple fact of the matter is the tiny little things necessary to keep the home computer optimized isn't difficult at all. I'm not into a lot of physical activity anymore as age made me realize; the only thing that doesn't hurt in the morning when I get out of bed is the eyelids. I don't jog any longer and as far as I'm concerned; that animal the wife drug home 180 years ago - can give itself a walk.
I'm more into keeping the mind fit and dedicate myself into contemplating important things such as how many fish I'm going to drag home from the lake, if the dog is going to find its way home, how many Emails I'll be sending or receiving and most importantly; why it is the TV volume is set at 24 and somehow comes on in the morning set somewhere around 38 or higher. I still don't know who formats TV movies to specifically fit my television set and why anyone would want to take a prescription drug after listening to all the accompanying warnings the commercials render.
As you have guessed I'm not into massive physical activity and as such will not be taking the time to come over to your house to show you how to optimize your home computer. The tech boys at work are out bar hopping looking for their future wife and I know by now, your home computer is getting slower than a piss ant missing 3 or 4 legs down it's right side. (I'm not an anthropologist). Anyway in between Emails, articles, electronic newspapers somewhere in the midst of my avid Internet surfing (which sounds physical) I actually discovered the solution to your home computer woes. I discovered (as you have) you didn't need to buy all that fixit software above and beyond the antivirus stuff. All you need is a series of home videos that take you by the hand and teach you how to expertly optimize that little computer operating system with an hours worth of effort. Your computer will be up and running as if it was just plugged in today!

How long does it take for a computer to find new hardware like an Atari Graphics Card after installing it?
I have a Microsoft Windows XP by the way.
Yeah, I meant ATI.! Also when I try to play Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 it freezes on my computer. Whenever I install the graphics card the computer takes forever to find the hardware. Any explanations?
Umm. You mean an ATI graphics card? I'm not aware that Atari makes hardware at all.
Generally, the hardware is discovered on the next reboot. If it's not, install any drivers that came with your card and reboot again.
If the card has a secondary power connector on the back, did you connect it to a lead from your power supply? Some cards operate in degraded mode without that. (Some won't work at all.)
