Frogger clone: RANA
Already two years ago, Lorenzo Di Gaetano from the group Phaze101 wrote his Frogger clone RANA (Reckless Amphibian New Adventures) for the "Retroprogrammers Inside Gamedev Challenge" and published the source code on GitHub.
Since there was no finished binary so far, the idea arose in a forum discussion on Amiga-News.de to create one and make it available to the general public. With the kind permission of the author and the final implementation by Josef Wegner, the game is now available on Aminet (YouTube video).
