Royal Enfield: Iconic Indian motorcycle brand spreads its wings
CHENNAI, India -- In the classic 1981 Japanese arcade game Frogger, players move a frog across a busy road, dodging rows of traffic to avoid becoming roadkill. Motorcycle touring in India is very similar -- a risky game of chance in which riders must constantly outmaneuver colorfully decorated buses, overloaded trucks, speeding SUVs and families squeezed onto scooters. This task is made somewhat more tolerable on the Himalayan 450, a new midsize motorcycle built by the Indian manufacturer Royal Enfield that has been described by the U.S. motorcycling magazine Cycle World as the best-value adventure bike ever made.

Frogger Token Positioned to Lead the Next Memecoin Run!
London, UK, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Frogger enters a space that has already seen great successes from frog-themed meme coins such as Pepe ($PEPE) Apu Apustaja ($APU) FWOG ($FWOG) HOPPY ($HOPPY) and many more! Frog memecoins are established within the decentralised space and have been consistently set in motion by high profile references to the Pepe meme. These mentions have been made by the likes of Elon Musk and even Donald Trump. Frogger is setting the trend and aligning itself in a similar manner which led these memecoins to billions in market cap. A key differentiator for Frogger is its broad token distribution—less than 55% is held by the top 100 holders, with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin as the largest holder. This distribution resembles other memecoins such as $DOGE $PEPE and $SHIBA before they went parabolic. Recognition and Growing Credibility Frogger has already captured attention and recognition amongst multiple social media influencers and content creators. This was expected as Frogger has History, Culture and Relevance. The 1981 arcade Frogger game was one of the most popular and most sold out during the Arcade Era grossing $135million in North America for Sega/Gremlin becoming their most successful release. Additionally Vitalik Buterin is the top holder having acquired Frogger organically. What's more is the Pepe Deployer is also one of the top 100 holders garnering watchful eyes within domain. Frogger isn't just riding a wave—it is the wave. With deep roots in internet lore, cultural cachet from day one, this isn't another memecoin—it's a movement. Tokenomics Frogger's decentralized ethos and simple tokenomics mirror those of other major memecoins like $SHIBA, $PEPE, $DOGE, $WIF, and $FLOKI. A rapidly growing community, zero tax and a burnt liquidity pool. Thanks to its minimalist contract design, transactions are seamless and scalability is built-in, ensuring new holders can join easily—crucial in the swift-moving meme coin market. Will Frogger be the next Frog meme to hit BILLIONS in market cap? Historically, frog memes have proven to be some of the most powerful and enduring symbols in the meme coin world. Take $Pepe, for example — it dominated the last cycle, soaring to a fully diluted valuation exceeding $12 billion. This undeniable success highlights one clear truth: frog-themed tokens have a unique ability to capture the hearts of retail investors. So, the question is — could Frogger be the defining frog meme of this cycle? With its community-driven story and a rapidly growing base of over 2,000 holders, Frogger is poised to be far more than just another meme coin. It represents an evolving narrative that every participant can shape, potentially leading the next wave of meme coin culture. Get Involved with Frogger Frogger offers something new in the Memecoin space. An evolving frog-themed cryptocurrency attracting new investors and arcade game lovers from the 80s and 90s.

Angry Birds, Frogger and others are finalists for the World Video Game Hall of Fame
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — This year's finalists for the World Video Game Hall of Fame include trailblazers in esports, electronic pets and portable gaming, as well as the arcade favorite brought to life in a 1998 episode of 'Seinfeld." The Hall of Fame revealed the 12 finalists up for induction on Thursday and opened a week of public voting. The winners will be enshrined May 8 at the hall's new space inside The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. The 2025 finalists are: Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Defender, Frogger, Golden Eye, Golden Tee, Harvest Moon, Mattel Football, Quake, NBA 2K and Tamagotchi. See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. 'This year's finalists span the decades and range from arcade classics to one of the most popular mobile games of all time,' Jon-Paul C. Dyson, director of The Strong's International Center for the History of Electronic Games, said in a news release. 'All of these games have enormously influenced pop culture or the game industry itself." Released in 1977, Mattel Football was the first blockbuster handheld electronic game. It paved the way for systems like Nintendo's Game Boy and today's mobile devices, according to the hall. Three decades later, cellphones put another nominee into the hands of countless players. Rovio's 2009 Angry Birds was downloaded billions of times and launched movies and merchandise. Notable for their influence on esports, according to the Hall of Fame, are nominees: Golden Tee: Fore! by Incredible Technologies, the 1989 arcade golf game whose sequels included a 1995 version that allowed for tournaments; Sega's 1999 NBA 2K, which inspired a professional esports league, and Id Software's Quake, one of the first esports whose first-person shooter's 3D engine became an industry standard. Tamagotchi, which created a digital pet for its owner to raise, earned a nomination for bridging toys and video games in 1996. It was reborn as an app in 2013. The nominees also include two arcade games released in 1981: Defender, by Williams Electronics, which the Hall of Fame said proved players would embrace more complex and challenging games; and Frogger, developed by Konami. Frogger cemented a place in pop culture with a 1998 episode of 'Seinfeld,' in which George navigates a Frogger-style arcade cabinet across a busy road, mimicking the game's frogs. Microsoft's 1997 Age of Empires was the company's bestselling PC game to that date and is still played by millions around the world, the Hall of Fame said. Farming game Harvest Moon, released in 1996, offered a peaceful alternative to the combat and action games that dominated the industry — and would be central to fellow nominees Goldeneye 007, released by Rare and Nintendo in 1997; and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the 2007 installment of Activision's hit franchise. The World Video Game Hall of Fame gets thousands of nominations online each year for arcade, console, computer and handheld games. Staff members choose the finalists based on the their longevity, geographical reach and influence on game design and pop culture. The inductees are then chosen in a ballot vote by an international committee of experts. The three games that receive the most public votes count as one ballot in the final tally. Public voting closes March 13.
