Perestroika (computer game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perestroika (also known as Toppler) is a Russian language computer game released by a small software developer called Locis in the Soviet Union in 1990/1991, and named after Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of Perestroika. Its welcoming screen shows Gorbachev and the Kremlin.
The game consists of controlling a small frog which jumps from one lily pad to another, trying to reach a certain pad in the right-top corner of the screen. The lillies constantly shrink and disappear only to appear in other places. Higher levels also feature one or more evil creatures called "bureaucrats" which would follow the frog and try to eat it. The frog dies if the lily on which it is standing disappears, the player moves it to a place where there is no lily or if the bureaucrat eats it.
Perestroika runs under MS-DOS and it was written in Borland C++ using the Borland Graphics Interface and has a resolution of 640×350.
