In 2022, a massive development archive for Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge was acquired by Highway Frogs, The lot is a near complete development history containing documents, prototypes, source code, early FMV cutscenes, unused music, and much more. It is the first of several full-development archive releases by Highway Frogs.

The Release Contains:

  • Over 1000 Pages of Paper Documents needed to be scanned, deskewed, and turned into PDFs.
  • Over 200 audio tracks were rendered/mastered extremely carefully using original hardware such as the Yamaha EX-5 and original software like SoundForge 4.0.
  • The "End of Project" Tape was damaged by a data recovery company, and it took months of reverse-engineering to recover the data ourselves. ([More Info])
  • Byte-Matched Source Code Repos for 7 different Frogger games/consoles, which have been updated to compile on Windows 10/11.
  • Custom tools made for working with some of the backups, such as a 3D object converter, or a compiler/decompiler for game scripts, and more.
  • A mod fixing Frogger 2's compatibility issues on modern computers, aka the "Frogger 2 Enhanced PC Port".
  • Tons more.
