CapitanClassic Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Always preferred the Preppie series to Frogger. Didn't know Popeye had an “arcade” version. Was it just a graphic hack, or a much more involved homebrew modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Man! This is a really tough choice. All of these games are awesome! I'll have to think about this one. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly the graphics, think they made the punching easier (too easy possibly) and fixed the round counter to do double digits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 My choice would have been Popeye but I voted for my second choice (Frogger) as it had more chance of winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 If we end up with Frogger, I might give it a go to play it with the dance mat. I tried a few other games before but never found one that worked for me (besides Mogul Maniac) but I may have not tried Frogger yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could wire up a field of them and play for real (before you more on to the main roads!) Sienfeld anyone?!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yeah, I was thinking about Costanza crossing the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
