magazine advertisement (US):
WE HOPPED FROGGER(tm) OUT OF THE ARCADE.
NOW CAN YOU HOP HIM HOME?
Frogger has just jumped out of the arcades and into your home. Sights, sounds, and all. Do you have the skill to get him to his home?
Frogger's first challenge is to cross a highway where reckless hot rods hurtle by, and huge trucks go thundering in his path. Every safe jump in this maze of motor and metal is a crucial step home.
Beyond is the raging river where the safety of a slippery log or diving turtle is all Frogger can count on to stay afloat.
Frogger's last leap to his lily pad home must by perfect, or it's back to the road to try again. Good luck. Frogger's counting on you.

Back Cover - Atari 2600 & Intellivision:
FROGGERIt’s tough to be a frog! Life isn’t all lazy days and lily pads – it abounds with dangers. In fact, ever leap Frogger takes could be his last! Can you help Frogger survive some perils, and hop Frogger home to safety?
First you have to jump Frogger across a very busy highway. Watch out for the trailer trucks! And all those cars – especially the speeding race cars!
Then try to cross a fast-moving river. Keep an out for the “lady” frog. When you see her, get Frogger to help her home. If you do, you’ll earn bonus points!
Jump Frogger carefully onto the diving turtles before they go under water! And don’t be fooled by the alligators that look like logs . . . Frogger is safe on their backs, but a free meal near their mouths!
And then, at higher levels, there are frog-eating snakes! Watch out for them as they slither up and down the riverbank and logs in search of Frogger.
Home at last! But look before you leap. If there’s a fly waiting, Frogger can gobble it up for extra points! But if there’s an alligator waiting it’ll gobble Frogger!
Get Frogger past all these obstacles, and you’ll jump for joy!
