Konami's 1981 arcade game about a frog crossing a highway and a river became one of Parker Brothers' first video game releases, and the Atari 2600 cartridge from 1982 sold strongly. The goal is the same as in the arcade: hop through lanes of traffic, then cross the river on floating logs and turtle backs to reach the five home bays at the top.
The 2600 hardware forced compromises. The playfield is narrower, cars and logs are simple blocks, and the moving objects flicker, but the timing of the lanes and the steady build in speed are close to the arcade. Diving turtles and lurking hazards push the frog to keep moving rather than wait. Parker Brothers later followed it with Frogger II: Threeedeep, and Starpath later released a separate licensed version, The Official Frogger, for its Supercharger add-on.
Tips for Frogger
Wait on the median strip between the road and river to read the log pattern before committing.
Turtles that dive carry the frog under with them, so prefer logs when both are close.
Fill the bays from one side to the other so you are not stuck backtracking across the river.
