Frogs vs. Cars v1.21---------------------------------------------------------------------copyright 1996 Stand Alone, Inc. & Ben GottliebNOTE: This software is for Newton 2.0 and 2.1 Newtons ONLY. * What is it?--------------------------------------------------------------------- Frogs vs. Cars is a game in which you take on the role of a frog trying to cross a busy street, and then navigate across a swiftly flowing river. You have to avoid being smooshed by speeding cars and trucks, and then leap from log to log (or turtle, or alligator) and finally to safety in one of the niches at the top of the screen. You'll have 4 lives in which to do this, and the Newton will save your 10 high scores. * What's in this archive?--------------------------------------------------------------------- There is one Newton software package and two text files inthis archive. They are: * FrogVCar.txt document you're now reading.
