Zapper: One Wicked Cricket Reviews

Short game but I'd say it's worth the price. Blitz Games was the developer of Frogger 2 on the PS1, which is widely regarded as one of the best Frogger games. Soon after that game released they started work on the third game but Konami turned them down because they were already working on a 3d platformer starring a new version of Frogger, the Godawful Frogger: The Great Quest. Instead of scrapping their work Blitz Games redesigned Frogger into Zapper The Cricket. Getting this game to run is a bit difficult but there's a guide in the community tab that helps you set the resolution to 1080p and I think with some tinkering it's also possible to run this game on the Steam Deck. Atari/Infogrames should release this on other systems, like the Nintendo Switch, too because I think this is a hidden gem.

I was really excited to replay this classic from my childhood. Unfortunately, the game does not launch, despite the dev claiming it was fixed back in February. There have been no further updates despite many people reporting the same issue. Unfortunately it does not seem like much effort was put into this port, you'd be better off finding a free port online.
