Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I
download a full version of Superfrog?
As Superfrog was re-released by Good Old
Games in 2012, you can download the full game for a small fee ($5.99 – about
£4) by following this link. Because it is being
legitimately sold in this way, I’m not hosting full copies of the game any more, sorry! But I do urge you to buy this. If you’re
not sure you can justify paying for Superfrog
and want to play a few levels, there are demo versions available to play which
you can grab from my downloads page. I'm sure you'll enjoy
them!
Where’s the information about Superfrog HD?
The information
about Superfrog HD is here on this special section of the site. This site isn’t
about Superfrog HD – it’s a tribute
site for the original game from 1993 – but I think a modern remake is relevant
enough to warrant a minisite!
Apologies
for the lack of concrete information on this. All I can report on is stuff I’ve
found out through hearsay and things Team17 let slip on their website and
Facebook. More information comes in as I get it. If you have anything to tell
me, let me know!
How can I contact you?
You can get me
by e-mail: pooka [at] super-frog [dot] co [dot] uk. You can also tweet me @pookatimes or find me via IRC at irc.knightmare.com at around eight o’clock
on Sunday evenings, with the username Pooka.

Why did you
choose Superfrog?
I chose to base
a website on Superfrog because I
think that it deserves more justice than just having the story printed over and
over again on the Internet with links to Team17's website. I think it is a
great game and I want to show my dedication to it.
What makes
Superfrog so great? Isn't it just a platform game?
Well, yes. Superfrog is just a platform game. However,
in its time it was a revolutionary platform game because it introduced
challenge, superb 360-degree scrolling, sub-games and more. It was (and still
is!) a very clever game and a complete joy to play.
Who is
responsible for Superfrog?
Team17 Software
(I don't work for them, honest!) is the company which developed Superfrog. They also published the Amiga
version, while Ocean held the rights to distribute the PC version of the game,
as well as GOG.com in recent times. Lucozade provided
in-game branding with Superfrog.
Is this
website official or unofficial?
This site is an
unofficial one, with some official content; I have had some contact with
various Team17 members, who have done certain things like provide interviews
and information. As far as official sites go, there are none. The closest you
will get is this page on an archived version of Team17’s
official site, which is the only place it is mentioned.
This site is, however, extremely comprehensive, and as far as finding information on Superfrog is concerned, this is the place you probably want to be!
Can you help me with emulating Superfrog?
If you want to emulate Superfrog, you can download
Mortuus47's special config and the Superfrog ADFs
from the downloads page and configure an Amiga
emulator (such as WinUAE or FELLOW) yourself; you
won’t find a Kickstart ROM here, though.
What Superfrog clones are available?
Check out the Superfrog Clones page – Superfrog Arcade. This page also contains fan games and sequels to Superfrog!
