Aquarius Phrogger

LOL! Where are you finding these? Were they available on cassette or what? Those things must have seen extremely limited distro.

 

That Pac-Man clone reminds me of Munch-Man for the TI. Just the look of it, tiny characters or something. In Munch-Man though, you're building a chain around the maze.

 

Anywho, instead of a bunch of new threads, you should have integrated all these goofy Aquarius titles in one :)

I replied to your Mr Pac post, but after you dug up phrogger, I had to do some digging myself. It seems these are all from the UK, which in the early 80s, as the game companies mostly were concentrating on the US and Japanesse markets, were mostly left to their own devices, so knock-offs were the name of the day to get “somewhat arcade quality” into the home, as most UK persons would of had a early computer machine (and very likely not an console machine (INTV/VCS) in the home. They did these knockoffs thru the 80s until the official companies got wise to there was $ to be made there.

 

Heck, they made a BurgerTime knockoff that was SPONSORED by a major burger chain in the UK with the chain’s mascot placed in the game as the chef!
