Revolutionary Concepts (who also did the excellent port of the early 80s’ laser disc game Cobra Commandhave just released a trailer for their forthcoming iPhone game, Frogman.

Basically, take the gameplay of Konami’s classic coin-op arcade game Frogger, plop it in a bright, cartoony 3D world and turn the eponymous amphibian into a superhero whose origins owe as much to Seth Brundle as they do to Ben Edlund.

It looks fantastic: as the developers state, “[It’s] Frogger’s 3rd Cousin Twice Removed – on Steroids!” There’s even an iPad version coming. For guys like me, who always loved Frogger, but wanted more levels, this looks like just the ticket. Here’s hoping it hits the App Store soon.
