+Cafeman Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 http://cafeman.www9.50megs.com/atari/5200frogger.html I like this game. The button+stick control is no problem for me and a necessary (and good) idea to handle non-centering analog sticks. I just point the direction I want to go, then click the button one time for each jump -- pinpoint accurate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 It was ok until you needed a quick burst of speed, then that mushy fire button wasn't going to cut it. Try the Atari 400/800 version and tell me that it's not better. Go Frogger go! Tempest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 A masterplay with an autofire joystick works pretty well John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Necropost! You can move with the number pad as well. I should try it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the old ports of Frogger to home systems, with the exception of the supercharger version were all terrible. Froggee for the 7800 is superior in every way. The new(ish) c64 port is superior in every way. The new-ish Amstrad CPC port is superior in every way. Frankly, I've never found the button control scheme on the 5200 to be very intuitive either.

They don't make them obsolete unless they are playable on the same system, no? Not everyone emulates, or has the other system. As I pointed out earlier, you can control frogger via the number pad as well. Just as good as using a directional pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 there's a button-less hack available I happen to have the ROM to it. I also have one for Q*bert too. The Frogger one IS a bit touchy as it seems to almost jump right away after your last previous frog makes it home so be VERY careful... OR.... perhaps somebody can correct this problem.
