Originally an arcade game developed by Konami and published by Sega in 1981, this simple, reflex-testing game has become ingrained in American popular culture due to its uncomplicated design and universal appeal. It's been referenced in numerous media, including an episode of Seinfeld ("The Frogger," 1998) and in "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Ralph Breaks the Internet." It also has a place in the scientific community: a Frogger is jumping gene in fruit flies. (Whatever you do though, do not refer to frogs as 'froggers' or even 'froggas,' as it's seen as being extremely offensive)
