Frogger, first playable demo

[Schmutzpuppe]

Well, here is a first demo of frogger.

Only one “level”, no scoring, no timer, no sound and some elements are still missing but it’s playable.

WOW! That looks awesome! Great work!

It looks fantastic on a real 7800! I can't wait to see more.

On my TV (NTSC), the bottom line with the score is half cut off.

The top I have a few blank lines, and then it probably doesn't matter if one were to loose a little bit of the green, so maybe the screen could be moved up 6 to 8 pixels?

I am going under the assumption most tv's are pretty consistant at cutting off the top and the bottom though. Looks really good. I almost considered frogger (or tetris) as my April fools joke vs. Q*bert.

Can't get it to run in MESS.

 

Hmm.

I got mine to work in MESS. Cool demo, played really well despite being an early build, I noticed some faults with the collision detection, but I'm sure that will be fixed. Keep up the great work!

Frickin' sweet! I love that the 7800 is FINALLY getting these arcade ports it should have had back in the day! Awesome job!

 

Edit: I've offically wasted no time in getting the screenshot posted on the 7800 arcade comparisons page.

True Greg, it's really shaping up to be the king of the home arcade.

[philipj]

The screenshot looks just like the arcade. I can't wait to give it go.

[Danno]

Wow. This is quality.

 

Now someone please do a halfway decent Spy Hunter and Zaxxon and Crystal Castles, and it would be complete - as far as all my favorites go.

 

Well - maybe add a Defender port in there too.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I will cut some lines at the top in the next version.

Now I know your next year April fools joke Ken, only one left

I also noticed that the collision detection isn't perfect, I will improve it.

I develop frogger on a pal system so the colors on ntsc devices are not optimal.

I think future frogger version will have a separate palette for NTSC.

Btw. do you guys think a two player mode will really give a benefit?

I think a simultaneous two player mode would be excellent. Whenever a frog reaches the goal area (whatever its called), it could be colored to indicate whose frog it was. Alternating two player wouldn't matter a lot to me.

I second that idea! There are 5 "homes." Whoever gets three out of five wins the round!

WELL Im ready with my label just in case;)

[Lord Thag]

Awesome stuff. I'll second the vote for simultaneous 2 player. Whatever you do, please publish this gem!

[danwinslow]

Yay! I don't even *like* Frogger and I am excited, lol.

[Schmutzpuppe]

Thanks guys.

Simultaneous mode is a good idea but both frogs would have the same color.

Could be very confusing...

btw. great label Atariboy

[Trip_Cannon]
