Frogger with real turtles

[tkarner]

It's always bothered me that the turtles in Parker Brothers' Frogger are just ellipses. So, after 5 minutes with Hackomatic I present Frogger with real turtles...

Nice.

I like what you did with the turtles. There were some things that always bothered me too, like the look of frogger when you reach the other side. So, I made a couple minor edits to your turtle idea, the cars, frogger, the logs, and the snake (which already looked good, but I made it like the Sega cassette version).

 

It would be nice to make it where each sprite could have more than one color like the cassette version. As for sprite edits, I'm probably done.

That works too. Your frogs, turtles and bulldozer all look really good. Though I might revert back to an all solid truck, if for no other reason then I don't recall any other Frogger version where it had stripes. Maybe if I have some time I'll come back to this and try to do something about the cars, using the arcade or the Atari 800 versions for ideas. But that might be hard with just monochrome sprites. I don't want to spend too much time on this since we already have the excellent Starpath version anyway.

I dig it.. nice work on the turtles. I don't know why it's never been done before over the past 11 years of 2600 graphic hacks! Gotta love it.

Ok, Frogger hack version 3.

 

I kept Kevin's changes to the frogs, turtles and logs.

Then I modeled the cars, bulldozer and snake after the Atari 800 John Harris version (as much as was possible with monochrome sprites that are only 7 bits tall).

 

Have fun playing any of these or use them as a guide to hack your own...
