Frogger was initially released as an arcade game in 1981 and became the rage of the times. It was transplanted to the consumer software platform in the North American market in 2001 and the series became a massive hit. Cute frog characters playfully jump across the game screen as the player tries to guide them safely home, while jumping over and dodging obstacles. Konami's other popular games including the side-scrolling shooting game "Gradius," and the action game "Castlevania," are also expected to be released over time.
Since 1999, Konami has distributed over 200 game titles through its Japanese mobile phone game sites such as "Konami Net DX". In January 2003, it began providing contents to the Hong Kong and Taiwanese markets and launched operations on a full-scale basis to deliver mobile phone games worldwide. With its plan to become a leading global content provider, Konami will actively pursue distribution of its mobile phone games throughout the world.
