Early, Family-Friendly DOS 3D FPS Involving... Frogs?

[Nz17]

Here's another of those "What was the name of that game?" threads. This time, we're talking a DOS game, likely released between 1992 and 1994. It was definitely after Wolfenstein 3D and around the era of Ken's Labyrinth and DOOM. I believe it was originally distributed on floppy disks.

What I can remember of it is that it started underground. There were lots of wood textures which were used throughout as many of the walls were wooden and there were lots of wooden crates. What made it special at the time was though it was still sprite-based, you could look up and down, jump, and climb ladders, all things that DOOM lacked. About level three you finally made it to the outside but once out there it was even more dangerous than inside because there were lots of enemies about and they had long-range vision. The outside area was at night, and the graphics were somewhat cartoony in this game. And believe it or not, it seems that the game had something to do with frogs. Like the developer or publisher had "Frog" as part of the name, or the outdoors level had frogs as enemies.

Any ideas?

Well, it doesn't start underground, nor is it dark outside, but H.U.R.L. (also known as Slob Zone 3D) is a non-violent DOS FPS with cartoony graphics and frog enemies:

Thanks for the suggestion, but that sure isn't it. I would have remembered that game if it was!

Well, there were the Catacomb series of games published by Froggman:



But those games used the Wolfenstein 3D engine, so nothing close to Doom quality. Also, probably wouldn't exactly classify it as "family-friendly". That makes it sound more like Chex Quest, but that game doesn't really fit the bill either.

Though I did play the Catacomb games, the game I'm thinking of was a later release in a different game engine, that's for sure.
