I had this 3.1\/4-inch floppy disk with a bunch of crappy ports of games like Donkey Kong and Space Invaders and, of course, Frogger.<\/p>\n<p>The game didn&#8217;t even have proper graphics, and the cars on the road and the river debris were just varying configurations of the equals sign, like = and == and ===. But it was totally <em>awesome<\/em>, okay.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, a new Frogger game &#8211; Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition &#8211; has been outed by an Australian certification rating, and it&#8217;s apparently in development for PS3, Xbox, and Wii over at Blacklight dev Zombie Studios, to be published by Konami.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, unlike most brand reboots, it&#8217;s not an FPS, which seems a bit of a missed opportunity because who wouldn&#8217;t want to be a beefy man-frog with a rocket launcher on the Los Angeles freeway interchange at rush hour?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, that would be brilliant.<\/p>\n<h5>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2012-02-24-blacklight-dev-making-frogger-hyper-arcade-edition\" target=\"_blank\">Eurogamer<\/a>, <a title=\"Aussie
