If there's one thing I've learned from all my years playing video games, it's hard to make a cool interactive product that stars a bunch of frogs. People may have fond memories of Konami's arcade classic Frogger, but how many Frogger sequels and updates do you remember being any good? And The Battletoads were the talk of the town on the NES (and the Super NES), but it's not like we've heard from them since. Face it; frogs don't make cool video game characters. People just can't relate to frogs, they have long tongues and eat flies, humans just can't relate to something that disgusting. About the most disturbing thing we do is dress up our animals, and even then we rarely see video games that focus on that embarrassing aspect of human nature.

But Mattel doesn't care how disgusting frog life is; they went full steam ahead and released this utterly forgettable frog simulator called Frog Bog. This box art features just about everything we despise about those slimy creatures, such as eating insects, living on a lilypad and diving head first into a freezing cold lake. This game also sports a really stupid name, who is the person that thought Frog Bog was an acceptable name for a video game? Thankfully not every company chose to pair an animal with a stupid rhyme; if they had we would probably have to suffer through Cat Chat, Horse Course, Sloth Troth, and the Albino Rhino. If this game had come out in the 21st century I can only assume that it would have been called Frog Blog and featured an opinionated character rattling off about subjects he knows nothing about.
