Here's a weird thing. I happened to look at this auction (not really necessary to look as the auction itself is nothing special):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8117654464&rd=1
and one of the items is Frogger. The seller, for some reason, writes "can you believe they were going to call it Highway Crossing Frog?"
I had never heard this before and I suspected this might be some sort of fake trivia or something. I check KLOV first and there was no mention of Highway Crossing Frog and nothing mentioned about it in the Frogger listing. Next I Googled Highway Crossing Frog:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=highway+crossing+frog
If you looked at that link, did something seem weird to you? The title is mentioned on several different web sites in several different contexts, but in each case the text is exactly the same, or almost exactly the same...almost always mentioning how "lame" the title is/was.
There's something here I'm not getting...it seems to be some kind of joke. And if it is, it wouldn't surpise me at all... I still don't get the "all your base are belong to us" thing... :monkey:
So is the seller joking? Or is this a commonly known joke that the seller doesn't know is a joke? Or was this actually a title that was considered for the game (which wouldn't surprise me...the name Frogger is pretty weird already if you ask me)?
