Schmutzpuppe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 In the frogger title screen they talk about 60 beats you have to move your frog into its home. When playing the game on mame that means about 34-35 seconds. I wonder if it is the same time on a real arcade. Anybody knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Looks like it is around 33 to 34 seconds on the real thing, as best as I can calculate. So it sounds like your MAME timings are pretty accurate. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I'm wading through very dusty memories here, but I seem to recall I once saw a warning on an arcade game, maybe Pole Position, that game time was not necessarily the same as "real" time. I guess depending on the hardware and other code involved, sometimes it was easier just to say "this is a second" instead of trying to make it match a real second. By the way, this doesn't happen to mean you're back at work on Froggie, does it? Edited September 28, 2012 by FujiSkunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I think that it is Pole Position that you are thinking of. I have that one too. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 (...) By the way, this doesn't happen to mean you're back at work on Froggie, does it? It has to do with it, I wasn't sure if the given time was to short or if my bonus calculation was wrong (it was the time bonus). I think that it is Pole Position that you are thinking of. I have that one too. Nice! I always wanted to have this old Atari Vector Star Wars, that was damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
