Give me some credit. Of course I know it would be impossible for a song from an Atari game to appear on a Famicom game. Just pointing out the similarity.

However, I do have a licensed copy of Frogger for my Game Boy..  ;)



1. Like many early 80's games, Frogger was multiplatform.
2. Frogger was by Konami.
3. That Game Boy one was published by Konami.

I love arguing.  >:D

Wow, great discovery on the handbill guys. Must have been an early/limited release handbill because like I said, it was canceled very, very early into production, and it's possible that it never even went into production, Nintendo might have just made up screenshots for the game and planned to make it later.

Well, concerning the two identified songs, they seem to be simple nursery rhymes. The firat song, I found on YouTube:

and as for "Senro wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo", this is actually the Japanese version of the nursery rhyme "I've Been Working on the Railroad".

Just in case anyone was wondering...

Every song on Frogger's soundtrack is some kind of old PD song. Listen long enough and you'll hear classics like I've Been Working On The Railroad, Barney the Dinosaur and many others.

Frogger pre-dates Barney :P

The "Barney the Dinosaur" song is a rip-off of "This Old Man".

OK, so it is talking about a policeman who actually is a dog. I'd considered that, but it didn't seem to make sense. I still can't think of a really smooth way to translate it though.
