I got this game for Christmas when I was a little girl. It was on a "5 games for the price of 1" cartridge and the games went "Frogger, Boxing, Skiing, Seaquest and Stampede" and I loved Seaquest and Stampede, thought Boxing and Skiing were okay but I hated Frogger when II first tried it because I couldn't get the frog home. Then I tried getting the frog IN BETWEEN the green squares instead of on them and my fondness of the game increased 100 fold.

Another one of those games that make you wonder, why does a frog die in water?

I'm late to the party, but the frog dies from the heavy river current.

This was the best frogger game ! I use to run through all the boards real fast and never got beat ! Played for hours and had all kinds of extra men !

Loved playing the Frogger game on Atari. Listening to the Introduction song and the Ending Song was so good.

I was born in 1976 so the 2600 was my first system. I remember my mom and I playing this for hrs having a great time

This was the 1st videogame I ever played, I still love it, it is simple and addictive. Back then, things like, how big the frog is compared to the cars, didnt really matter, or if the frog dies underwater, who cares?? it was all about fun.

The flicker on the one row is due to a hardware limitation; the machine has two eight pixel wide sprites called "players", and two one-pixel-wide sprites called "missiles", which works great with simple shoot-out type games, but is very limiting with complex games like Frogger. There is a function to turn one sprite into two or three identical sprites to produce, for example, the row of three logs, but still there it is very limiting. One workaround is to change the color/shape/position of the player between scan lines to produce different sprites in different vertical regions of the screen, but to get more than one object into one vertical space (the log, the machine-controlled frog, and the player-croled frog, for example) sprites had to be reused; quickly switched back and forth between two different shapes and positions, producing that flicker.

Luckily the flicker wasn't so obvious on old analogue televisions.

That's right, and emulators recorded to KZread look far, far worse than the original hardware does on a regular CRT television.

The best version of Frogger ever made. The Atari 2600 original was the greatest system ever!!!

The 1997 3D reboot will always be the best version of Frogger imo. That game is incredible

Classic. I played this in the late 80s when I was about 6-7 years old.

Crossy Road : wait is this me in 1982 Frogger : y e s

I used to play this during the 80s and 90s.

Screen refresh on this KZread video makes the flicker more intense. It looks great on original hardware.

This was when my dad was born he never played this intill 1985

I used to turn up my Volume to that intro to watch my speakers on my Old Black and white TV shake

i just found 2 atrias in my basement and lots of games this is one and it had paddle controllers and two joysticks

The 4th isn't too bad, the 6th however, is brutal, then the 7th is a piece of cake and from the 8th onward is pure, unadulterated hell.

Excelente!! Yo lo jugué de niño ,me iba a las " maquinitas" saliendo de la escuela.

ITS a amazing AND nostálgic arcade Atari 👍😢

GLC must live on!!!

I lost track several times of where the frog is.

bien!☺

The frog looks similar to the car in Dodge Em. lol

I loved playing this game as a kid, even though I would only get past a couple levels. It was fun. Was the white frog supposed to be the player's girlfriend?

Um, I've never played an Atari game before so forgive me for asking, why do objects in these games blink in and out?

Do the platforms flicker and disappear when you play on an actual Atari?

problem with flickering sprites?

It must be a video framerate thing. My actual hardware is solid. Only the logs turn transparent ish and only when I step on them.

One question, how to start playing?

Press reset to start the game. www.gamesdatabase.org/media/system/atari_2600/manual/formated/frogger_-_1983_-_starpath_corporation.pdf

In the arcade version, you would die if you drifted offscreen... 🐸

@@MarioTetris998 No, the game was not that bad. I think the issue is that Atari games liked to quickly copy identical sprites from one place to another after the vertical refresh finishes with one spot. but before it starts on the the new location it needs to go to. On the real Atari or even with MAME, stuff didn't disappear like that. That's only happening because of the limited frame rate of this KZread video messing with that sprite trick.

lol
