So FROGGY (It’s Hungry!)<\/a> was shown in the Fantastic Arcade “Spotlight” (those are the games on the computers). Here is some photographic proof:<\/p>\n

Frogs are awesome.<\/p>\n

Highlight for me was batslyadams<\/a>‘s game (Super Russian Roulette<\/a>), because it’s the type of game I wish I had when I was growing up.
