Game Details
Much copied game - frogs hit by trucks quite common - had to cross river via logs - why can't the frog swim???
The 1997 remake/update by Hasbro gave a second incredibly popular life to the franchise. It also engendered controversy; much like Tetris and other "hot properties", it was discovered that the company claiming to own Frogger didn't. Still unsure of the details, but Sega lost their claim, and Konami ended up becoming sole owner of the Frogger trademark and copyrights. (Does anyone know if perhaps Konami purchased Gremlin, or used to be Gremlin?)
Home versions are by a plethora of publishers; the original licence from Sega was divided between ROM and magnetic media- Parker Bros. got the ROM rights, Sierra the magnetic. This created the odd situation of 2 publishers doing the same game for the same system.
The book "Hackers" by Steven Levy details the development of the Atari 8-bit computer version for Sierra On-Line.
Followed by a (hard-to-find) sequel: Frogger II: Three-Deep!
- Published for Atari 2600, 5200, 400/800/XL/XE, Commodore VIC-20, 64, Odyssey 2, TI-99/4a, Intellivision, ColecoVision by Parker Bros.
- Published for Atari 2600 by Starpath for the Supercharger adapter (under licence from Sierra On-Line.)
- Published for Apple II, PC, Atari 400/800/XL/XE, Commodore 64 by Sierra On-Line.
- Published for Sega Genesis, SNES, Game Boy Color by Majesco Sales.
- Published for PC, PlayStation by Hasbro.
- Published for Game.Com and as handheld LCD game by Tiger.
- Published as handheld/tabletop game by Coleco.
Trivia: An episode of Seinfeld had a parody of the game- an overhead shot of a man attempting to wheel a Frogger arcade cabinet across a busy street. The scene ended with the cabinet being smashed apart by a truck- quite traumatic to watch.

These boards are all more or less the same. I've seen
numerous requests over the last few years for sound
help on these boards with no answers. My Turtles
sound crapped out tonight, so let me share my notes ...
(1) Check that the board is getting 12 volts.
(Make sure the connector is clean ! Use a pencil eraser to remove crud)
