RasterSoft has revealed that a port of their game Frog Feast is headed to Nuon alongside releases for the 3DO and NEC’s PC-FX August 20 to coincide with the 5th anniversary of the game.
Frog Feast, which has seen releases on more than 12 video game consoles and arcade systems, is an updated version of the classic game Frog Bog, featuring improved graphics, sound, AI and more. The game made its launch at both the Classic Gaming Expo 2005 and VGXPO, Dallas events on the same day, according to its listing on MobyGames.
MobyGames describes the gameplay as simple to figure out. “In the single player version your goal is to catch as many flies floating about the top of the screen within the time allowed and to beat the AI’s frogs score. In the 2-player version, you do the same but go head-2-head against another player which makes snagging those flies at the last minute, just before your competitor does, a real treat.”
Beyond the release of Frog Feast, RasterSoft’s Charles Doty says he has more in store for Nuon.
“I have a game in early development that I plan to get working on the Nuon,” said Doty in a NUON-Dome forum post. “The game mechanics work, it just a matter of actually creating a fun game.”
Below is a video of the Atari Jaguar CD version of Frog Feast in action.
RasterSoft recently released “Rastersoft Invades the Nuon” – a game demo that is a port of its “3DO Invades” demo to the Nuon platform.

Rastersoft is well known for its game Frog Feast, which has been ported to a number of classic game platforms including the Atari Jaguar CD, CD-i, Neo Geo CD and more.

Forum member SophT has written a CLI enabled, full-screen wrapper to enhance the user interface for the PC Nuon emulator “Nuance.”
Below is the readme file with more details:
This is a wrapper for Nuance, a NUON Emulator.
nWrap was written to support nuance on arcade cabs, so it supports command-line input and ‘esc’ key closing.
Usage is simple:
simply drop nWrap.exe and nWrap.ini in the same directory as nuance.exe
nWrap “Drive:\Path to\your\nuon\files\nuon.run”
This works for files on your harddrive or mounted on a virtualized drive.
Known issues:
IF there’s an error with nuance and it crashes (not as a result of the wrapper) before the video screen appears you may get hung with a black screen.
You can alt+tab and exit nuance, or kill it with taskmanager and exit nWrap.nWrap.ini contains the resolution of your desktop that you would like it to return to AFTER exiting.
NWrap will run at a resolution of 640x480x32 – so again make sure your monitor can handle that.
