The Frog is a clone of the arcade hit Frogger. While the sound routines are pretty sub-par for a Coco game of the time, it actually (in my opinion) featured BETTER graphics than the arcade original. Almost everything was nicely animated... the logs roll in the water, cars have working windshield wipers, and the like. The keyboard response, unfortunately, was a bit slow, and you sometimes have to hold down a key for a bit for it to register.

I have been told that if one holds down another key while using the arrow keys (spacebar, for example), that the keyboard response is greatly improved.
