:lol: I think I played Frogger on my old Commodore 64, back in the day. I had no idea it was made by Sierra, though. (And I've never seen the other two).

Where did you find this, Tawm? ;)

There used to be a local magazine called "Computor Edge" (no, not a typo) - and I was just looking to see if there was any PDF versions of these old printed magazines (mostly because my BBS was advertised in it for a few months back then) - and eventually went down a rabbit hole of all these older magazines I'd found online that had been scanned (sadly no ComputorEdge - which isn't a surprise as it was local to San Diego) - and found this ad in (as the title of the thread states) Compute Gazette (Issue 01) - 1983 Jul.

*reads the wiki-article; gets diverted by the mention of "Byte" Magazine* Oh my ... I might be a young whippersnapper, but I remember "Byte" magazine (I think?). Here's the book I cut my programming teeth on in 1983 or so, when I was in grade 1 or 2: How to Program Commodore 64 BASIC for Beginners (from The Internet Archive) :D

Ahem. Of course (like everyone else), I've all advanced far, far beyond that! ;) But everything must have a beginning, right?
