My next goal is to get past 5-2! Man, you really gotta change up your strategy. In my mind I'm way ahead, now just to get my hands to cooperate. 159,100 Level 5-2

Not too shabby tho! I mean, compared to all the other versions I've seen. Graphics aside, it's all about how it plays. I mean, we can all agree the 2600 version looks fantastic, but how does it play? 🤣🤣

I feel like that's why I usually stayed away from it! But I'm glad to say now that I've spent more time with the NES version, I love it!

I like in the Colecovision version of stage 4, when you unlock Donkey Kong's cage, he breaks free of the chains. It's a nice touch. And the birds look like pterodactyls. NES version all the way tho.

Lol, I don't have that one! I should check it out on emulation tho...

Ok everyone, I'm not messin' around. No more Mr. Nice Jr... I'm comin' for ya Tempest. Oh, and you guys are right about level 5, woof. Level 5-1 and I was already backtracking on the righthand vines b/c the mess of snapjaws was gettin' ridiculous. Then of course the springboard jump on 5-2... 149,800 Level 5-2 I think maybe I had a bit of luck b/c before this game, I played a round of DKJr for the 2600 (oh boy) and on Colecovision (so much better, but has its own problems). I then switched over to the NES and my hands were so confused at first. Then muscle memory kicked in.

I'll keep an eye out for issues. I like how the instructions of the period always mentioned pressing reset if there are glitches. You would never find a manual nowadays admitting that their games might glitch.

How hard would it have been to keep a little number level counter in the corner parker bros??

Nice! Were you able to keep track of which level that was?

Yeah, but those effects!

Sunava! Nice job! Havin' myself a Frogger afternoon. Played some Colecovision, Intellivision, and 2600 renditions. I like the CV the best. The INTV one is lots of fun, but Frogger moves too slow compared to the others. I do like the fly animation tho and the logs are longer and easier to cross over to I feel.

I noticed this on the Frogger page on INTV Funhouse (http://www.intvfunhouse.com/games/frgr.php) "Frogger seems like a decent game. The music could be better, though. Gameplay is good, and the graphics are decent. Since I never played the arcade original, I can't say how good an adaptation is." Never played the arcade original?!?

So Frogger was just announced over at the Intellivision HSC, so to celebrate our combo Frogger weeks... I might just bust out my 2600 copy and see how I stack up

Here's to holding the current high! I always liked how the alligators were logs with heads 😂 And the otters that are like alien chestbursters It's a shame tho that the music stops when you move and you don't want to run the clock down listening to the sweet tunes. Luckily, you get a nice uninterrupted rendition when you beat a level. I keep forgetting what screen I got to tho, I wanna say 3? 13,430 skill 2

https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Mattel_Intellivision/manual/Formated/Frogger_-_1983_-_Parker_Brothers.pdf Some good scoring info here. I like the game variations and how they differ from the CV version. Also interesting to note, you get an extra frogger every 20k if you have fewer than 4; on CV, it's every 10k and there's no limit that I know of.

From mice to frogs everyone! Hallelujah!

Yay Frogger! I chose this for the current round in the Colecovision HSC! To celebrate, here's a favorite from Pac-Man Fever...

Oh, it's on! 129,900 Level 4-4 This is a good round

Just managed to get +28 in Golf! I'm title screen high score tied! Whooooo.

Level 4 was killin' me today!😅

Hot on your tail Player One! 105,300 Level 4-1

I forget what letter power up. After trapping one, I try pressing the other button

The only manual I found was in Japanese; I think maybe it was only released there. Well, for TG-16 at least.

I just realized that you can shoot after trapping a certain power-up! I'm sure I'm missing more. Any hot tips? Fun but hard! Awesome score jblenkle! 66,130 Level 6

For a d-pad like on the ps3, do you have success pressing two buttons at once to register as "in between"? I don't know how much better I'd actually be using an Intv controller, but at least then I'd feel like I'm playing the way it was meant to, haha.
