- Frog Xing system requirements
-
- Frog Xing can run on some 680x0 and all Power Macintosh systems. The
- following is a recommended system configuration for the game:
-
- System 7.0 or greater.
- A 68040 processor or Power PC Mac.
- A monitor supporting 16 or 256 colors or greys.
- A screen resolution of 640 x 480 or bigger.
- Sound Manager 3.0 or greater.
- 2.5 Meg of available RAM.
- 1.2 Meg of hard drive space.
-
- You can try running Frog Xing on lower end 68K systems, but performance
- might not be optimal. If you have any problems running the game, send us
- email and we'll do our best to figure out why.
-
- How to play
-
- Frog Xing is a well-paced arcade game in which you guide a frog across a
- highway and a river to dock on the other side. You can catch bonuses along
- the way to score extra points.
-
- Frog Xing has a nostalgic look to it, with a tip of the hat to the classic
- arcade games. With both traditional and new sound effects and a hopping
- music score, the gameplay is addictive and should be fun for both novices
- and arcade experts. Even children will enjoy watching and helping the
- frog cross to the other side. A simplified but still challenging version of
- the game, called "Child's Play", is available to registered users. It should
- make the game more fun for younger children aged about 5 to 11.
-
- For more information about the game settings, options, and scoring, see
- "Rules of the Road..." under the game's apple menu.
-
- What's new with version 1.2
-
- Fixed a memory problem that caused Frog Xing to crash on some
- Power PC Macintoshes. If you have experienced any memory problems
- with Frog Xing, we suggest you upgrade.
-
- Added a check for thousands and millions of colors. Frog Xing runs
- best in 16 or 256 colors, and now when you run the program with your
- monitor set to thousands or millions of colors it asks if you want to
- switch to 256. When you exit the game, your original setting is
- restored.
-
- Improved the menus and dialogs to adhere to the Macintosh User
- Interface Guidelines.
-
- How (and why) to register
-
- Frog Xing is shareware and costs U.S. $15.00. This means that you
- can try out the program for 30 days and see if you like it and enjoy
- playing. If you do continue to enjoy the game, then please send in
- your shareware fee. Shareware authors are not salaried employees
- who draw a paycheck no matter what. We only get paid if honest
- people send in their payments.
-
- Without continued support from the Macintosh community, we cannot
- afford to continue developing games. I already know far too many
- people who say: "I have a PC cause there aren't enough good Mac
- games". That phrase depresses me more than any other and I make
- every effort to convert people to the Mac whenever possible. And
- quality games go a long way in converting people. If you're trying to
- decide whether or not to register, just ask yourself if you'd really
- like to live in a world where you can only run Windows 95.
-
- Registering Frog Xing is pretty easy. Just run the register program that
- came in the Frog Xing folder. If you don't have a register program, then
- run the Frog Xing application, select "Register Frog Xing..." under the
- Game menu and then click in the "Create Register" button at the bottom
- of the dialog. Once you have the registration program, run it and choose
- the payment method that you would like to use and enter your personal
- information.
-
- If you pay by credit card, then you can either email, fax, or postal
- mail the form, whichever you prefer. If you pay by email, then send
- the appropriate form to sales@kagi.com. If you prefer to fax the
- information, the fax number is: 1-510-652-6589.
