Are those interchangeable, HSC wise? I found that the Parker Bros ROM version won't boot from my SIO2SD. I found the same file as BIN and CAR on AtariOnline, but neither would load as well. The Sierra On-Line XEX version boots and plays OK, so if both versions essentially are the same, I'll stick with Sierra On-Line unless a different (XEX? ATR?) cracked version of the Parker Bros game can be surfaced. Oh yeah, some testing the waters super low scores: Slow (SoL) - 4820 pts Fast (SoL) - 5040 pts 7015 pts Edited February 28, 2021 by carlsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yes I think from last time they are about the same... feel free to try both out anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Harris version: Starts with 5 frogs, lets you decrease to 1 frogs, but once you're down to 0 it is game over. In means the number of lives are the same, just that the life counter is different. 0 frogs in PB = 1 frog in SoL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Now I had to look up how the arcade games does it. I suppose the number of lives is configurable, but the video I watched starts with seven frogs of which six are visible. The game keeps going for one life after the last frog is removed, meaning that it matches how the Parker Bros version does it, except for the number of lives to begin with. The flicker-fest that is the 2600 version does the same. On the C64, both Chuck Benton's version for Sierra On-Line and the unnamed programmer for Parker Bros version (yes, there were several official versions also on the Commode) follow this behavior. It kind of makes John Harris' version stand out from being different. I also found a video by Ania Kubów where she makes her own Frogger game in JavaScript, HTML and CSS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graywest Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Parker Brothers - Fast: 14,560 I played the John Harris version too and scored about the same on fast. The only difference I can see (besides changed graphics and music) is the little otter that shows up in the higher levels. Does it hurt you somehow? I don't remember getting hit by it at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
