Play Frogger

[Colette]

Each level adds even more difficulty. Expect crocodiles, snakes, faster moving vehicles and rapid flowing rivers as you get further into the game. This poses a challenge to a mere frog with three lives.

Everything in Frogger moves predictably. The vehicles are all moving in time. The logs have set speeds and orders which can be exploited by a savvy gamer. The same goes for them pesky snakes and crocodiles, too. Get a feel for the timings, hone your reflexes, and play frequently to master this game.

Thank you for your compliment. For the first version I wanted to get the game play working before adding extra complexity such as animations, changing speeds, number of enemies, and extra enemies (like a crocodile, snake, otter, etc).

Frogger[a] is a 1981 arcade action game developed by Konami and manufactured by Sega. In North America, it was released by Sega/Gremlin. The object of the game is to direct a series of frogs to their homes by crossing a busy road and a hazardous river. Frogger was positively received as one of the greatest video games ever made and followed by several clones and sequels. By 2005, 20 million copies of its various home video game incarnations had been sold worldwide. It entered popular culture, ...

The game starts with three, five, or seven frogs (lives), depending on the settings used by the operator. The player guides a frog which starts at the bottom of the screen, to his home in one of 5 slots at the top of the screen. The lower half of the screen contains a road with motor vehicles, which in various versions include cars, trucks, buses, dune buggies, bulldozers, vans, taxis, bicyclists, and/or motorcycles, speeding along it horizontally. The upper half of the screen consists of a river with logs, alligators, and turtles, all moving horizontally across the screen. The very top of the screen contains five "frog homes" which are the destinations for each frog. Every level is timed; the player must act quickly to finish each level before the time expires.

The only player control is the 4 direction joystick used to navigate the frog; each push in a direction causes the frog to hop once in that direction. On the bottom half of the screen, the player must successfully guide the frog between opposing lanes of trucks, cars, and other vehicles, to avoid becoming roadkill.

By jumping on swiftly moving logs and the backs of turtles and alligators except the alligator jaws, the player can guide his or her frog safely to one of the empty lily pads. The player must avoid alligators sticking out at one of the five "frog homes", snakes, and otters in the river, but may catch bugs or escort a lady frog for bonuses. When all five frogs are directed home, the game progresses to the next level, with increased difficulty. After five levels, the game gets briefly easier yet again gets progressively harder to the next fifth level.

The game was originally going to be titled "Highway Crossing Frog," but the executives at Sega felt it did not capture the true nature of the game and was changed simply to "Frogger". In addition to inspiring numerous clones, this game inspired an unofficial sequel by Sega in 1991 called Ribbit which featured improved graphics and simultaneous two-player action.

In the United States, Frogger was licensed by Sega to multiple companies for conversion: Parker Brothers held ROM-cartridge rights, while Sierra On-Line held magnetic-media rights. Several platforms were capable of accepting both ROM cartridges and magnetic media, thus these systems received multiple versions of the game. Sierra also sublicensed their magnetic-media rights to developers who published for systems not normally supported by Sierra; because of this, even the Atari 2600 received multiple releases: a cartridge from Parker Bros. and a cassette for the Supercharger from Starpath.

Frogger is featured prominently in the 174th episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Frogger" in which George discovers a local pizzeria still has the machine with his high score still intact from when he was a kid. George buys the machine, then tries to figure out how to get the game across the street Frogger-style without turning the game off and losing his high score. The cabinet seen in the episode has custom sideart rather than the dedicated Frogger sideart.

Today, Marky Mark of the Flakey Bunch asked Montanans if they still play video games, after crushing the competition this weekend on his Super Nintendo in Frogger. This particular article resonated with me, as I am the big gamer here at TSM Billings these days... and I wanted to share MY game choices to beat the competition.

These days, we don't have arcades as much sadly. And those that we DO have, probably wouldn't take kindly to an old man such as myself (30) visiting and destroying the high score of some kid on Mario Kart racing.

So... what do we do these days? Well... I've got one monster of a PC setup at home, and it plays any modern game you throw at it. Just... don't ask me the price, because I don't want to think about it.

For Mark and those wondering, Minecraft is a simple game based on blocks. Almost EVERYTHING in the world is a block, and you have the freedom to create at will. Though, with this uber-powerful PC, I don't just punch wood and farm wheat. I play Modded Minecraft, with machines, quests, bosses, and more. An example of the "mod pack" I am playing right now is below:

Scratch the FROG 1 play spot to reveal an arrow.

As shown in the LEGEND, continue scratching ONLY in the direction of each revealed arrow, one arrow at a time, to reveal the entire path through the play area.

If the path reveals a BONUS symbol, continue on in the direction of the arrow next to that symbol (shown in that same square).

If the revealed path runs into a symbol, that path ends and the game is over for that FROG.

If the revealed path ends in a FINISH play spot, win the prize amount revealed in that same FINISH play spot!

Repeat steps 1-5 for FROG 2 and FROG 3.

BONUS:
Count the total number of identical BONUS symbols revealed in the 3 paths. If you revealed a total of 3 identical BONUS symbols across ALL three paths, win prize shown in the BONUS BOARD for that same symbol.

You can play the HSC game with the "Play Frogger online" button at the top of the Frogger HS page. Or with a PlusCart (see folder "Public ROMs/PlusROMs/High Score Club"). The ROM-file can also be played with Gopher2600, or the newest version of Stella.

I assume you're talking about the "new" 3D Frogger game. Does it have CD audio (verify by playing it in Media Player)? If so it might be suffering the same problem that some older Windows games I have - the CD audio just doesn't start playing. Examples include Boss Rally, Sega Rally 2 and Sentinel Returns.

I haven't found a fix for those but I thought I'd mention them in case anyone has discovered anything about them! I did find once that playing the music in Media Player in Boss Rally before starting the game made the game realise the CD-ROM had audio then it started playing properly/changing tracks in game, but recently that hasn't worked any more! ?

Microsoft Pinball Arcade (now published by Atari) is another title that fits into this category. You can play the music tracks in Media Player. I did some research into complaints from users of Pinball Arcade about this problem some time back, and the common element seemed to be that all of the sufferers had "upgraded" to DirectX 8 (or higher).

I still have the sound problem, but a new problem occured ever since I upgraded my graphics card from a Intel Extreme Graphics card to a GEforce FX 5700 LE Graphics card. the problem I get is the graphics in the game do have colors but there is flashing black on the edge og the objects. I have a different motherboard. so that means that I have a different sound card. So how do I fix these two problems, should I get a outdated version of DirectX or is there other solutions available? Here is how the motherboard box looks like...
