Frogger (This video shows it's an 8-way)

(1/3) > >>

Thenasty:
I am watching this video and notice that Frogger has an 8-way and also I remember another video that states the Frogger uses an 8-way (forgot where).

I always know that Frogger is a 4-way control.

Is Frogger really an 8-way ?

leapinlew:
You need to jump diagonal on the later levels, like when Frogger is in space and has to jump from space lillypad to the warp point to avoid the space wasps.




(If Frogger uses an 8 way joystick, that's news to me)

Frogger is a 4-way game.

- You can't move diagonally, only up/down and left/right.
- If you play the game using an 8-way stick and try to hit a diagonal, it will take whichever switch closes first.

Looks like the thing that got you questioning this is the control panel shown at 5:16 in the video.
- It is not an original Konami Frogger CP.
- The bezel and marquee seen a few seconds earlier do not appear to be from a Frogger cab either.

The operator probably put a Frogger PCB in another cab.

This sounds very familiar to the video I'm referring.

I am curious so I look up a video of the game and found this


but did not see a level that refers to space jumping to lillypads.

I know Frogger 2 have something similar (I used play it in C64) but not in the first one.

Are you pulling my leg leapinlew ? if so, you got me lol.

Yeah, just playin, but the idea of a frog in space isn't much different than a frog that can't swim, am I right?!
