The frog game i'm referring to is the one where you have a rubber mallet, and you hit the mallet on a rubber stopper & it sends / catapults the frog into the lillypad. I have an older video tape of the KidSongs from 1990 and it shows some of the kids on that tape playing that game. That's what reminded me, if that game is still played on today's midway? Or are most of them disappearing & not as popular as what game units are on the midway now days?

Saw one in London Kentucky at the Chicken Festival about a month ago. Don't believe it's owned by Casey's Rides but perhaps is a Triple Treat or Mike Grein owned game. It wasn't using the green rubber frogs but instead a smaller plastic molded frog. Was getting decent action.

We had a clerk work ours for a salary. When he'd get a big tip, I'd walk over and sell frogs because he couldn't keep up. I put it in my apron and got a quarter of it.

As games go, it's the tilts of games. Big pane in the ass to set up and flash.
