Hoppit

Why did the frog cross the road?  Because he wanted to hop perilously between speeding trams to get to the other side.

That sums up Hoppit, an early game released by Commodore.  Like Frogger in the arcades, you control a frog that starts at the bottom of the screen and must make its way to the top.  Where it differs is instead of avoiding the traffic, you are encouraged to hop on to it.  More specifically you will for some reason have your entrails splatted the length of the word SPLAT !!!!!!! along with a nice tomb stone to mark your demise if you even think about venturing on the road.

There is plenty of challenge in timing your jumps from grass verge to tram, to island, to tram and so on.  While this is fun for a while, the repetitive nature of the single screen game and the high difficulty soon wears thin and you’ll be reaching for the off switch.
