    Hints and Tips - Frogger (Intellivision)

    (Personal notes on the game)

     

    • It seems that they only programmed three levels for this game, as level 4 returns to the level 1 easy layout of cars/water section, with just the addition of the snake/croc/otter. So if one can get by level 3, you should be able to make level 6 without much effort, helping to boost the scores.
    • Also, the level selection is not as one would think. Level 1 is the classic game (but with wraparound in the water section). Due to the Intellivision's paging and/or programming as it was done, this can cause the frog to be off the log/croc/turtle and be on the water instead. However, the game only makes a check if the player is safe or not upon moving, so as long as your next hop puts Frogger on a safe spot, you are fine. *In other words, ignore the manual's wording that you have to hop quickly, as being safe trumps a quick hop*
    • Level 2 is placing the game at Level #4 of Frogger (1st pattern, with the croc/snake/otter). The wraparound still remains. Level 3 copies level 1 setup, while Level 4 copies level 2's setup, with the only difference is going off the right side now results in death, instead of wraparound.
    • As much as the nostalgic side of you may want to listen to the frogger theme at the start of the level, don't, as the timer starts ticking as soon as the game is drawn. Yes, unlike the arcade version the theme stops immediately upon moving, it's better than having your time clock run (and lower your scores and/or death)

    Any other hints, share to all :)

    ok, that sucked...

     

    the battery in this old 2006 Gatway laptop Ive been using dead last Sunday, so havent been back on until now, and even with the replacement it wont charge higher than 3%...

     

    In the meantime let me get a new game up before I'm offline for a week again.

    Im not 100% sure of what you mean by "see the level process"... Camping has always been against this HSC's rules, and if caught, sores would be DQ'ed, and other situations can occur depending on the severity. Thank god we have never had the issue on this HSC in five seasons, and would expect everyone to be fine and fair in all attempts, as it's not like were playing for a million bucks...

     

    Also, the game wasnt chosen due to your pic, but nice one btw... it's due to me trying to pick games that haven't been played in previous HSC's, and to remove bias from my selection I started at the bottom of the INTV name list (hence Zaxxon and then Worm Whomper).. had to skip a few sport titles to come to Tut, and it wasn't due to not liking sport titles, but it was either 2 player only, ECS needed (World Series Major League Baseball) or way to easy and we'd really have blow out scores... (World Championship Baseball). The "Nice Ideas" made "World Cup Football" didn't start up on the copies I have so unable to test the playability of it for a HSC.
