Roro4Brit

Hey...this may lead to my downfall if someone can find it for me..but does anyone know where you could get that game Superfrog that was out on the commadore amiga, but for PC?

Here is a link to the play though...

I would love to have this on my pc, to get an old school joystick and clear it again

I loved it!

I dont know how much were allowed say or post on here about such matters, but hypothetically if one were looking for such a thing then hypothetically one would require an emulator for the Amiga and the ROM of the game. Hypothically you would find these on Google along with guides on how to make it work...

Funnily enough, I've just been going through a big box of Amiga disks and wonder what the hell Superfrog is!

Ok so I'm deducing that there is no legit means of getting this for PC?

Even if I were to hypothetically pursue a route as you mentioned above I wouldn't know where to even start...

Damn my mum for dumping my Amiga!!!!

Great little platformer, one of the best on the machine. Try out Silly Putty too, tis a good un.
Slightly OT since they're not platformers at all but two other fabulous games on the system were The Chaos Engine:

and SWIV (follow up to Silkworm but much much better):

To play it on your PC you will nead an emulator like WinUAE then you will need the amiga disk images. Typing 'amiga superfrog images' into google should lead you to the files you need. If you need a hand setting up the emulator let us know.

Are we allowed discuss emulators on here yeah? I wasnt sure cause I know other sites frown upon it!

Sorry, Im a complete plank...

So basically talk about but dont link to yeah?

There's nothing illegal about emulation, therefore you can talk about it no bother.

Downloading ROMs is illegal therefore we don't mention that aspect at all

ha i remember this game, it was the Amiga's version of Sonic
Zool was another attempt at trying to make a mascot for the Amiga and even had an arcade version

CiDeRmAn

Ah, Zool, another sh1te attempt to emulate Sonic.
Pity they didn't try to emulate a good game, like Super Mario World!

According to the interweb, Superfrog is available for the PC, what gives?
That google search page proving to be an intellectual hurdle is it??

There it is, on an abandonware site, the DOS based version, the only PC version,
I assume dosbox or something will run it.

I remember playing this game,good fun.Like Zool,it was in many ways an attempt to create an iconic platform game for the Amiga which would rival Mario or Sonic.I guess the Amiga always had something of a completely unjustified inferiority complex!

Benny_Cake

Speaking of Zool-just remembered all the in-game advertising by Chupa Chups!Pretty bizarre tie in there.

Now this is what I call a tie in....
