The music playing on the title screen is a Russian folk song 'Dubinushka' from the 19th century. Perestroika (DOS)    Its splash screen shows Gorbachev, where his character is stylized as his presence breaks the Kremlin, the seat of the Soviet government. The game consists of controlling a small frog-like creature which jumps from one lily pad to another, trying to reach a coin, symbolizing a higher standard of living.    The frog symbolizes a democrat and the lilies, symbolizing the ever-changing laws and acts, constantly shrink and disappear only to appear in other places. Player can collect dots in four colours, blue symbolizing grocery goods, red currency transactions, yellow taxes and brown business ventures. A currency transaction can sometimes add extra life, a tax reduces the score and a company can sometimes sink the figure. From the seventh level, the game also feature one or more evil creatures called 'bureaucrats' which follow the frog and try to eat it. The frog dies if the lily pad on which it is standing disappears, if the player moves it to a place where there is no lily pad, or if it is caught by a bureaucrat.    Perestroika runs under MS-DOS, it was written in Borland C++ using the Borland Graphics Interface and has a resolution of 640×350. It can be run on modern IBM PC compatibles with the emulator DOSBox. Nikita Online released in 1995 a remake of this game for Windows 3.1x Toppler for Windows, all gameplay remains the same, only on the title screen, instead of Gorbachev, a frog is displayed and the coin to advance to the next level has been replaced by a lily flower.    The frog itself and the second game name (which is mentioned in the file name toppler.exe) may be inspired by the Tower Toppler game.
