The MD version was made by doing reverse engineering from the Arcade version. The dev got the MAME set of the game and used Genecyst to compare the code between the two versions.

@S.Madman 4 жыл бұрын
Explain this please."MAME" is a program not roms, and the arcade Frogger was not a working MAME project until much after the MD version of the game was made. Now if you meant it used the same rom files as the Arcade then yes/no, the Genesis version used original files from the original creator Konami for reference only. It used the TI-SN76489 to emulate the sounds the AY8910 did on the arcade. Genecyst was used partly to emulate some things.

The Atari 2600 "Official Version" was released on cassette tape for the Starpath Supercharger addon. Besides the "convenience" of tape loading, the Supercharger had also extra RAM on board which made the more advanced game possible. Apparently, the reason why this version exists is because the original Parker Brothers license covered just ports of the game on cartridge.

The second Spectrum version has corrupted graphics due to it being a game written on a 48k machine in BASIC being run in 128k mode. The Spectrum had user defined graphics that could be assigned to keys A to T. In 128k mode it only went up to R, the last two being used for the new 128k commands PLAY [for using the new AY chip] and SPECTRUM [to force the computer into 48k mode], hence the dodgy display. There are dozens of Frogger clones on the 8 bit machines, some of which are probably good and lots of which are probably arse.

Frogger is one of the earliest games I remember playing in my childhood on the C64. Great fun at the time. Strangely enough there were two different games on the breadbin, one by Sierra which is shown here and one by Parker Brothers. They are very similar but not identical. There was also a homebrew attempt made a few years ago which aimed to replicate the arcade game to the extent of mimicking a vertical aspect ratio. There seems to be a lot of love for this game, with many ports and sequels over the decades. But to be honest I'd rather leave its clunky gameplay in the past.

Another great episode for a classic game. I've never played an actual Frogger arcade machine, though I'm sure I've seen them, but I did have the Parker Bros. Atari 2600 release and played tons of it. I have to admit that I enjoyed Activision's psuedo-rip-off, Freeway, a lot more back then. However, these days, I can't seem to get into playing Freeway when I've loaded it up, but 2600 Frogger is still fun today. My cousin had Frogger II, but I remember hating it for some reason. I also bought the Genesis port of Frogger when it was new for really cheap, and I thought it was very nice. I'm kind of glad I didn't get the SNES though. The only other Frogger game I've played is "Frogger 2" on the Dreamcast, which I enjoyed but haven't touched in forever.

The 5200 version has such a dumb-arsed control setup. You have to hold the bottom fire button and THEN move the analog joystick. I believe an alternate option allows you to use 2/4/6/8 as movement keys on the keypad. Also, next week I'll try to record and upload the Parker Brothers version for the C64. It's a bit different from the Sierra On-Line port shown, but pretty good for such a rare cartridge version. Why do the third party C64 games have to be so damn expensive?

The 2nd Spectrum version will load correctly if you load it in 48k mode. I suspect this version is a mixture of BASIC and machine code and has used the BASIC UDG's for graphics. There is a known bug/feature where some of the UDG's in 128 BASIC are replaced with tokens for the new 128 BASIC commands, You can quite clear see SPECTRUM and PLAY on the screen. These are commands that don't exist in 48k BASIC so the game will display properly if you load it in 48k mode.

On those machines if you drop into 48K BASIC and load the game from there, you'll find it works correctly. Or just emulate a 48K machine in your case. Cheers!

About the PC Version, I think you meant to say it was a Booter disc. The PC 5150 didn't really have an OS of its own. IIRC it would just boot to basic if you didn't have a hard drive with an OS installed or a floppy inserted. The GBC version looks to be just a straight colorization of the original GB version. They didn't seem to do anything else. Among its contemporaries, the Genesis and X68000 can go 1 and 2, with the Atari 8-bit taking up the rear. I'm kinda surprised at the lack of a version for the NES.

The Coleco version, on the other hand, was the best available of the early generations of consoles and computers.

I have Frogger for the Atari 5200. The weird thing about it was that you had to hold down one of the side buttons while using the joystick to make the frog move. I had never played a version of Frogger that required you to do that. Why did the developer (Parker Bros) do that? Have no idea but given the placement of the side buttons it really took away from the experience IMO.

(before video) As frustratingly difficult as this game is, I love it. BUT DAMN DID THEY AMP IT UP FOR THE PSX. 7:24 Unnnn...okay; whoever programmed this had the Kaizo mindset. 9:14 For the GBC it looks pretty damn good. The detail is well-polished, not very common for GBC games. 10:24 Definitely has some nice details. Sure, it's not the best, but it's also not flat. 11:02 Reminds me of the PSX reboot. 13:38 Ughhhhh... :( 15:20 Yup. Good luck with the maps past the second set. With the modding tools available, I can only imagine the game would be made harder, and as is, it's damn difficult after the first two map sets. Yes, I have beat the game; it's definitely one of those "I'm grateful for game saves" types. Yeah, there's also a Windows release which is essentially the same as the PSX version; the mods are mainly for that release but seem to work on the PSX release as well.

Ah yes, I know about that one. I toyed with the idea of including it but in the end I left it out since the name isn't Frogger. I let Froggie pass since it was close enough.

Even the C64 version is good, I'm pretty sure that a competent developer can get an almost arcade version out of the machine, reading a commentary I found that there is a homebrew version, and gonna check it out!

There were two versions released for the C64, and you picked the Sierra version when I thought it would end up being the Parker Bros version like most of the other 8Bit versions featured. Yes they are different and honestly think the PB version is better. Comes about because arcade rights holders back then sold the magnetic (tape/disk) rights separately to cartridge.

I really had to check it on Google because you Made me doubt, but the first PC already used Ms-Dos. What Operating System does the PC version runs on?
@RetroCore
@RetroCore 4 жыл бұрын
What I should have said was this used the base PC meaning that the game was executed upon booting the PC. It didn't run within Dos unlike later games which were loaded within Dos and later on within Windows.

The PC version of the PlayStation game the music doesn't play on Windows 10 though you can rip the music and play it as if they were standard MP3s also having 4 player split screen is nice plus lan play Also they made an entire sequel based off of the fact that sometimes you step on a crocodile in the water section of the first area (retro levels) that is based off the arcade game
