The frog is playing his own game. I wonder how it feels to play a game where I have to take the commute to work, and then commute back home to my lily pad, er, aparment.

Froger was my favorite game. Enduro and River Raid too!
Thx for the video.

I remember waiting in line for like a half hour at Musicland to play ESB on the demo 2600. That game was HOT when it came out.

I only have about 50 Atari 2600 carts.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
It was better than the 2600 Pac-Man or Donkey Kong.

The irony is that most of the games from companies outside Atari were better than those made by Atari itself.
I never had an Atari, sigh…. parents bought me a Commodore instead because it was “educational.”

Each cartridge is £29.95? what mofo paid for that??? lol
June 17th, 2009 at 6:36 am
LOL
you gota think about it back then it was brand new.
so its like basically a ps3 game looks amazing by todays standards, most likely in 30 years itll look like shit. well you get it. good night!

Damn. How can a home console make the arcade frogger look so shitty? Was it THAT hard back then to add a couple frames for the leaping animation?
June 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pm
They did, this wasnt what the game actually looked like, they drew the game small scale to fit the TV in this ad. The real game looks much better.
A big advertising fuck up

Obviously you’ve never seen the Atari 2600 “Starpath RAM Expander” version of Frogger. Totally Amazing (given it’s still and Atari 2600) and way better graphics then the Parker Brother’s (regular Frogger) version. I’m thinking of uploading a comparison video of the 2. Let me know if you want to be informed about it, if I do that.

“It’s just like the arcade game” just not authorized by Konami, the original creators.
“You saw Luke Skywalker battle Imperial Walkers; now you can bring the battle home.” Just don’t let those AT-ATs ruin the furniture.
“Play The Empire Strikes Back where the battle never ends.” I’d rather play Tetris where the stacking never ends.

You know, some Arcade games should have NEVER been ported to the Atari VCS.
I could understand something simple like Space Invaders and Breakout, but why in the hell did they decide to port games like Moon Patrol or Frogger?
Folks, if you get an Atari VCS, leave Frogger out for the wolverines to feed on. It simply sucks.

Jeff Minter ripped off Empire Strikes Back to make his cult classic Attack Of The Mutant Camels.
It was good, the graphics were higher resolution and it was much cheaper than the Atari cartridges.
November 15th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
£29.99? Equivilent Commodore games only cost £2 or £5 budget!
November 26th, 2009 at 5:47 am
That’s why certain old games should only be played on your PC or game system (PS1, PS2, XBOX, Game Cube, Wii, etc.)
November 26th, 2009 at 5:49 am
Those old systems just weren’t able to handle arcade style graphics-that’s partly why the video game industry crashed back in 1983-84

These are really good graphics by 2600 standards! I’ve played games on the 2600 that have such dire graphics you can hardly tell what you’re supposed to be doing.

lol, i never knew games back then were so expensive

No, it’s because the market got flooded with crappy shovelware.

Notice I said ‘partly’ in my previous post, not ‘completely’.
February 20th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Oh, like River Raid or Custer’s Revenge
