Allemand Die Geschichte hinter Frog Pond ist etwas unklar. Entweder ist sie einem schlechten Timing oder einem Konflikt zwischen Management und Programmierer zum Opfer gefallen. Das Prinzip hinter Frog Pond ist einfach: Sie steuern einen Frosch, der in einem Rennen versuchen muss, verschiedene Insekten mit seiner Zunge zu fangen, um zu sehen, wie viele Punkte Sie erzielen können. Das Thema des Spiels und das völlige Fehlen von Schwierigkeitsgraden garantieren fast, dass es sich an kleine Kinder richtet, ähnlich wie Nick Tuners vorheriges Spiel Demons to Diamonds. Das Problem bei Kinderspielen ist, dass sie Erwachsenen keinen großen Spaß machen, und Frog Pond ist da keine Ausnahme.

Anglais The history behind Frog Pond is a little hazy, it's either a victim of bad timing or of management/programmer dispute. The premise behind Frog pond is simple, you control a frog who must try and catch various insects with its tongue in a race to see how many points you can score. The game subject and total lack of difficulty almost guarantee that it was to going to be aimed at small children, much like Nick Tuner's previous game Demons to Diamonds. The problem with children's games is that they're really not alot of fun for adults to play, and Frog Pond is no exception.

If Frog Pond looks familiar to you it's probably because it's an almost exact copy of Mattel's Frog Bog, which was released for the 2600 as Frogs and Flies under the M-Network label. According to Nick Turner, this is a completely coincidence and neither company had any idea what the other had been working on. According to Nick he wanted to add more options and gameplay to the game, expanding it to 8K. Atari wasn't keen on spending the extra money on more memory for a children's game, and refused to allocate the extra 4K. Frog Pond was shelved and Nick left Atari shortly afterwards.

As you might expect the gameplay is very simple. Every time you press the fire button, your frog jumps and shoots out his tongue. If your tongue hits an insect you score points and your frog gets a pleasant snack. The are several different insects to catch, which are worth varying amounts of points.

While the larger insects are slightly faster than the smaller ones, they still don't put up much of fight. However if you take too long to grab your bug he'll fly away. If you miss six insects the sun sets and the games ends.

Français L'histoire derrière Frog Pond est un peu floue, c'est soit une victime de mauvais timing ou de conflit de gestion / programmeur. La prémisse derrière Frog Pond est simple, vous contrôlez une grenouille qui doit essayer d'attraper divers insectes avec sa langue dans une course pour voir combien de points vous pouvez marquer. Le sujet du jeu et l'absence totale de difficulté garantissent presque qu'il allait être destiné aux jeunes enfants, un peu comme le précédent jeu de Nick Tuner Demons to Diamonds. Le problème avec les jeux pour enfants est qu'ils ne sont pas très amusants pour les adultes de jouer, et Frog Pond ne fait pas exception.

Portugais A história por trás do Frog Pond é um pouco nebulosa, ou é vítima de um mau momento ou de uma disputa de gerenciamento / programador. A premissa por trás do Frog pond é simples, você controla um sapo que deve tentar pegar vários insetos com a língua em uma corrida para ver quantos pontos você consegue marcar. O tema do jogo e a total falta de dificuldade quase garantiam que seria voltado para crianças pequenas, muito parecido com o jogo anterior de Nick Tuner, Demons to Diamonds. O problema com os jogos infantis é que eles não são muito divertidos para os adultos brincarem, e Frog Pond não é exceção.
