Frogger is no longer an Atari game filling hours and hours of my
distant childhood trying to manuever its pixellated frog across busy
pixellated streets safely.
Instead it bears a striking resemblance to pedestrian life and it now
comes as no surprise that this beloved game originated in Asia.
Crossing a street here means that at any given moment you are dodging
multiple street vendors, pedestrians, bicycles, cyclos, tuk-tuks, motos
and cars (all at once) in a neverending flow of traffic.
Sidewalks aren’t even a safe option since they are fair game for motos and bicyclists trying to avoid the congestion.
Near death experience guaranteed if you don’t pay attention.
If you ask me, Frogger had it easy!
