Frogger #2

Dude... That's crazy to hear this!

4:50...childhood nightmares😅

I wrote the Atari XE cartridge version of the game... They gave me the Apple II version source code, and I had to make it fit the cartridge. It was pretty fun to write!

Cool cover, I'm glad that the soulless algorithm submitted your channel. Greetings!

Oh man, I still have the cassette of this, and the box. Sadly no console though, since my late unlamented sperm donor stole and sold it for booze money (he did NOT own it).

Looks like an early prequel to Splatoon

XL and XE are just Atari 8-bit Computers, not really any different than the 1st Atari 400/800

Astoundingly good! 8 bit Atari has really shown what it's made of in recent years in gfx and audio. Respect!

If you wait long enough to let the pilot in, his knocks get slower and slower as though his life support is giving out. There was so many little things in this game that made it super immersive.

This game was definitely ahead for it’s time😁

I have been working on optimizing a 3d engine for miniscule power hardware and I learn about this and realized I was retreading 40 year old computer science geniuses.

Holy cow, this is impressive!😄🤩😎👌

Someone really needed to explain to Epyx back in the 80s what 360 means.

Very good BASS!

Did anyone ever let the alien into the ship? After you take off he makes you crash.

I would love to play this game again. I received it as a present on my Atari 800 XL.

A few details on the game's development from one of the programmers, David Fox (future lead programmer on Return to Monkey Island), revealed over Twitter: - The aliens masquerading as pilots was added to the game later in production at George Lucas's suggestion. They deliberately left out this mechanic in the instruction manual and in marketing so players would be taken completely off-guard. - The symbols on the alien's uniform are the initials of the programmers' names rotated on their sides. This was back when Atari didn't allow in-game credits, so this was the developers' workaround (LucasFilm was allowed to credit them in the manual, however.) - The box cover features several pilots, all played by Fox himself. For one of them, he made sure to show his wedding ring for dramatic effect.

I played this soooo much as a kid. First time I completed the game I nearly cried!

One of the first game on Atari 800XE !!!!!!! Absoluty mega game !!!!!

What a great conversion showing you how good the 8-bit Atari could be if programmed properly. Spy Vs Spy vibes in space

0:48 that main theme is very similar to the Godzilla 1954 theme.

I spent so many hours on this game, but I never really knew how to play it well.

Flippin yes!

KZbinに日本版gooniesの紹介された動画があり、その中でdatasoftのgooniesからの移植だと知りました。画面はシンプルだけど、この当時自分がやってたら、ワクワクしてただろうなと思えるゲームですね😊

Full point!

perfect game, played this on my Atari 400 with 32k, loved it then and still play it to this day!

Ha. You can hear the Manchester accent…

Thanks, I was looking for this game. I'd really want to know who wrote the loading music.

Man, I imagine kids playing that game back in the 80s. It must've been mindblowing considering how humble were the consoles back then. Lucasfilm really took full advantage of this technology and made a very original game. Even the cutscenes are really good. Some people said that when the alien attacks the ship it was sort of a jumpscare moment.

IGN brought me here.

This is a slightly slower 5200 version.

The topography reminds me of Heavy Metal.

Keeping the magic alive! :)

This game taught me what a rev counter is. And what redlining is.

ProTip: Push up to hit the Jacky sack with your head, then press down to spin quickly. That’s how you rack up the big points. Supposedly, in multiplayer you can trip the other player. I’d love to see someone try this to see if it’s true.

this really shows off the ataris graphics the C64 version doesn't look anywhere near as good

Where there any other titles that used this method whilst loading?

this is crazy for 1985. it's nuts to think how the math of this world was there in the computer, and it was just a challenge of extracting it to show it within the limits. if that makes sense.

I used to play the hell out of this game. Once I had the quota of rescued pilots, and the mothership was in range, I'd purposely let a Jaggi alien into the ship. He pounds the piss out of your ship from the inside, but won't destroy it unless you turn the systems on. BUT, you can hit the booster to return to mother ship. The Valkyrie has a hard time getting up there with the alien still slugging away in the back, but eventually gets killed. Not sure how, but someone back there must have kicked his ass inside out, lol.

I didn't get these cool games when I was a kid. All I got was that crappy states and capitals game.

MAN THIS IS AWESOME! I wish I had this game.

There's another side to the cassette with 2 Sammy games, but that side has no audio.

Waooooooo !!!!!!! This so soooooooooooo amazing DEMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game was a favorite. Great game play. I have an Atari 65XE in the background playing it right now. The tempo of this KZbin video is slower, but it captures the magic of the music. This was some of the most dynamic game music that I can recall until Westwood Studios came along (Oh wait, there was the Amiga!). Etched in my memory forever. Seriously, it is pure 8-bit genius.

It's a shame I can't tell which Goonies are which in the levels.

This version looks cool too, not bad. :^) I like it. Thank you very much for the playthrough.

Great game!
