The 80’s game, Frogger, is being made into a game show

If you got totally awesome at dodging traffic with a frog, you played a lot of Frogger in the 80’s!  If it’s still your jam, you can now make some money. The ’80s video game “Frogger” is being turned into a game show for the Peacock streaming service.  Contestants will play the part of the frog, attempting to avoid obstacles including traffic, snapping alligators, and hungry hippos. The game will test players’ strength, strategy, and problem-solving abilities.
