carlsson Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I find I'm spending more time watching YouTube than playing retro games at the moment, but I had a placeholder attempt. Frogger II - 16789 pts, just cleared level 2 and then lost my last frog at the start of level 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Getting close to McKong's score... 86,525 just need to keep it together to beat level 6! I switched over from my (t)rusty quickshot to a stiffer comp pro stick for this game to make it harder to jump in the wron g direction or have a rebound jump :) Still pondering about the extra frogs: when the score hits 10k there is the noise and usually there is the stork on the 3rd screen, I had all the lives so couldn't collect it at 30K other times it's not there at 30k. Looks like level 4(?) the plane alternates with the stork for a couple of goes then it's gone. If you lose a man the extra man goes. I guess the skill is to get the extra man when you need to do a 3rd screen berth :ponder: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 You need to visit the cloud screen as soon as you pass the 10k score, if you fill a birth before you do you miss the opportunity of getting the stalk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Frogger II - 22065 pts (3 berths remaining on level 3) I doubt I'll get anywhere near the top 3 players, possibly I'll have a go at the bonus challenges later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will E-X-T-E-N-D this round and the POLL until 10am TUESDAY Morning so have a go at the bonus challenges folks I've had a couple of 80K goes but not improved, need to jump that dragon on skill 6. Bonus challenge #1 15,029 (will post photo later) @slx - at first just wait for the dragon to pass and hold up, you usually reach a bird before it gets across. When you master it you can get some butterfly bonuses first on the right edge of the screen. On later rounds you need to anticipate where the lower birds will be or jump over the dragon L to R so start somwhere in the middle or left of the screen. latest tables FROGGER II: THREEDEEP 1st McKong 87,575 12pts 2nd therealbountybob 86,525 11pts 3rd Deteacher 60,394 10pts 4th carlsson 22,065 9pts 5th Sikor 20,078 8pts 6th Mangia-Boy 7,665 7pts 7th slx 7,442 6pts 6th RedThunder 7,286 5pts 7th jblenkle 6,800 4pts Bonus Challenge #1 1st therealbountybob 15,029 1pt 2nd Deteacher 14,715 Bonus Challenge #2 1st therealbountybob 6,500 1pt See first post for bonus challenge info VOTES PLEASE EVERYONE: Round 13 POLL OPEN ????? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I had a few goes, starting on level 3, to try to find a strategy for level 6 cloud screen. I failed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you manage a super bonus on level 4+ ? I had one but I think it gave me it for all the pads (not going into the boat). I also twice have been on the mother duck near the right side of the screen, it's started to flap up to the sky level but I guess the original frog postion over the ducks(?) has scrolled off so it does the crash at the edge of the screen but still goes onto the sky ok (didn't see if it took a life off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Improvements in very small steps now. I tried to play level 1 as per bonus challenge #1, and managed a meager 7690 pts on clearing first level in one man, trying to maximize my score. Obviously I know rather little about how to maximize the score since that is 1/2 of what TRBB and Deteacher obtained. Frogger II - 23552 pts (final score, reached as far as last time) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my 87k go I got all 3 superbonuses on level 4 and I think at least 1 on level 5. There are a surprising number of bugs in this game. I managed to get the frog to completely disappear once on the first screen. I'm not sure I remember exactly how it happened though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 That's a nice thing about the bonus challenges, we all get to see what's what! I put a few hints on the first post but scoring is boosted more by the bonuses than the timer: Underwater: farm the bubbles low down until time gets low, give yourself enough time to redo the screen if you accidentally hop on a log instead of the berth. On the water: SUPER bonus is essential - every time for levels 1-3 at least. Get all the lilly pads! In the air: butterflies on the right side is the best way but I only get a few as usually not worth the risk. @McKong - level 4 the one with the long line of pads at the bottom, are you coming back for them or getting them all first?
