Game Competition #15: Frogger
CrazyKongFan:
How is the game cheating you? I do know the game does have a few bugs, although some of them occur more in the arcade version when you have a weak power supply, so that shouldn't be an issue in MAME. You just have to be careful in certain situations, esp. when a speed change happens (when the traffic/logs/turtles speed up or slow down). I think just about every game has frustrating aspects...be glad I didn't go with my first choice, Galaga 3/Gaplus...that game gets hard in a hurry ;D

Not really cheating, I just get frustrated when I make mistakes. Just feeling the need to put the blame on the game.
CrazyKongFan:
I hear ya...this one definitely is one not to rush through, esp when you get to the 5th level type screens. There are a couple of bugs to watch out for (besides the fly ;D ) On the top row turtles, if you're hanging off the left side and an otter comes out from the right, he'll get you. Not sure if every ROM does this, but I've had it happen on the machine at Funspot a couple of times. Another one is going into your home from the tip of the tail of an alligator. You'll make it ok, but as soon your next frog starts at the bottom, you die.
DrFrag:
I like Gaplus. :) Another time maybe?
With the Frogger screenshot, I had to shrink the vertical resolution from 768 down to 256. I'm not sure why it comes out stretched like that.
DrFrag:
27,580
It gets harder and harder until round 5 or so, then it suddenly gets easy again. Weird.

If you mean the dodgy collision detection, I hear ya.
