Froggo Games was a developer and publisher of video games specializing in titles for the Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 consoles.
History
Established in 1987, Froggo Games entered the industry during a period marked by the decline of the Atari 2600 and 7800 platforms, coinciding with the growing dominance of the Nintendo Entertainment System. The company gained notoriety for producing substandard games, many of which were essentially replicas of existing titles from other creators. Froggo's reputation was notably poor, with four of its releases being ranked among the least favorable Atari 2600 games according to Digital Press.
In 1989, Froggo revealed plans for four new Atari 7800 games—UFO, Pyromania, Night of the Ninja, and Scorpion Squad—as announced in Atarian magazine. Despite this announcement, the company folded soon after, resulting in these titles never reaching the market.
