Welcome to round six of the 5200 HSC season 11! Frogger won the poll by two votes. Play with default difficult setting (Fast.) Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records.

 

The current HSC record for Frogger (Fast difficulty) was set by Sonic R - 29,465 points. Do better if you can to earn a bonus point!

 

Round ends Sunday, April 15th 2018 @9pm EST

Does this one have weird controls? I can't seem to configure anything correctly.

Yes, you have to press the fire button at the same time you move the joystick. This was done to prevent the non-self-centering stick from cruising your poor frog right into a truck.

 

It may be easier to use the alternate keypad controls: 2 for up, 4 for left, 6 for right, and 8 for down if I remember correctly.

OK, thanks...I'll keep trying, but so far no luck getting anything to work right. I can sometimes get Frogger to jump forward one space, but then he won't jump again and I get run over.

If you hit the 0 key on the keypad, the word JOYSTICK should change to KEYPAD at the top of the screen. Then the 2,4,6, & 8 keys should work to move Frogger.

Well, still no luck...can't get it to change from JOYSTICK to KEYPAD (using Kat5200)...I'll try Altirra and a couple of others...or can the A8 version be used? That one works for me.

 

EDIT: OK, I kind of got it working on Altirra. Had to reconfigure to use the arrow keys for direction and the left control key for fire...it's a bitch being left handed sometimes...

 

I'll probably never do really well, but at least I can play now...thanks!!!
