Just as it was when I was 10 years of age. My father had an enormous projection screen monstrosity and he let us connect the 2600 to it. We were video game gods in our neighbourhood because we played our Atari on a 50 inch projection screen television. Unknown to my dad, the Atari tended to burn through bulbs.

[@tarstarkusz]

It's a shame you didn't have a supercharger and the Frogger made for the 2600 supercharger. It is a much more faithful port of the game. Most importantly, it has all the music right.

Oh man I loved this game in '81 - it was in every bar I used to go to. I got really high scores, if I played before I started drinking.

[@FireyPaperMario]

I remember seeing a arcade table version cabinet of this game back in a friend of the family's basement in Ohio for 1 of a few Thanksgiving family reunions back in when I was very young. It was also the same time I lay my eyes on the vintage 1981 Donkey Kong arcade cabinet. Good memories! ^^"

I'm probably the youngest person in this comment section. My first experience with Frogger was a 2010s ticket redemption game where the only input made Frogger go forward without stopping. There were no cars, but there were bugs that gave you small amounts of tickets for running into them. The far side of the river held the jackpot, but I never made it there, always falling into the river since I couldn't control myself. It was frustrating.

[@natedablack7857]

Ahhhh....takes me back to the days of my youth! Man, I miss that era. #LongLiveThe80s

[@Akira625]

The song at the beginning of the game is a Japanese children's song called "Inu no Omawarisan" (The Dog Policeman).

[@Whitetiger187]

Lol I actually heard that song several times watching Shimajiro to learn Japanese. That's awesome.

[@Religious_man]

You gotta love these challenging games. _Frogger_ is pretty cute.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I remember the arcade version as a kid. This was first released in Japan by Konami, and later released in the US by Sega/Gremlin. This was one of early Sega arcade titles. It was later ported onto many consoles like Atari VCS/2600, ColecoVision, Intellivision and many others.

Actually, it wasn't, the Pac-Man World series are pretty obscure in Japan, infact, Pac-Man World 3 was a western exclusive, Sakurai and Namco made a moveset from zero for Pac-Man based totally in his early arcade games (and some other 80s Namco arcade games like Mappy, which is where Pac-Man's up B came from).

Does anyone know what version of Frogger the version included in Arcade Advanced is from? It looks fairly similar to the arcade version, but the music is removed and the sound effects are completely different. It almost feels like it was a port of a Famicom version, but to my knowledge, this game was never released on it or the NES.

I've no illusions about this game nor rose-tinted glasses; Frogger has always been an objectively terrible game. Never got why so many liked it. No direct comparison genre-wise, but Bank Panic is one of few 80's arcade games that still holds up as actually fun or great.
