Frogger DescriptionTry and get your frog from one side of the road, over the river and into your home. To complete a level you must dodge cars, jump on logs and alligator backs while avoiding snakes, alligators, and otters. Bonuses are awarded for getting bugs that momentarily appear, escorting lady frogs home, and getting five frogs safely home.Cabinet InformationFroggers are typically only found in the Sega/Gremlin laminated wood-grain convert-a-cabinets. There are large side-art stickers that included a large hopping frog with a suitcase.Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter EggsBUG: Sometimes the lady frog is invisible (normally purple) until you accidently jump on it. Then she appears white with red legs on the frog's back. You still get 200 points.BUG: From the middle section between the river and the road, jump upwards to a pad and jump back so where you have been moved to the left just a few pixels. You should be able to go off-screen to the right. (If not, repeat.) For more fun, jump upwards to where a pad should be. You will make it, but you will die. BUG: Part of the background music will cut-out from time to time, only leaving the primary melody playing. BUG: The game is not always even-handed with the rules, and frogs are occasionally killed on perfectly valid jumps. BUG: When timed just right, if you jump into a home base that has an alligator and the alligator disappears mid-jump, your frog will die but will also make it home safely! BUG: Moving left and right on the very top log can sometimes be very slow, and is more likely to occur after previously eating a fly. TRICK: You can usually jump so where you are dangling off of the left side of a turtle, but not the right. TRICK: If you play this game on a PC emulator (such as MAME) and use a code for unlimited time, you will hear the entire background song to its finish. This was never possible on the actual arcade game since you always ran out of time before the song finshed playing. TRICK: The frog becomes controllable in attract mode once it reaches the very top log. TRICK: When the frog in the demo in attract mode is at it's last move, you can control it with no tokens! ConversionThe game uses the standard Konami wiring, but there are no buttons which limits the number of games that can be played in this machine.Game IntroductionIf you continually take excessive time getting the frogs up to their homes at the top of the screen, the vehicles and the items in the river increase in speed thus making the level more difficult.Game PlayThe score rolls over to zero after 100,000 points.MiscellaneousSequels, such as Frogger 3D, were created for the home computer. Many clones were also created, the best of which was called Pacific Coast Highway.It is often unnoticed, but when you complete a level, the noses of all the frogs (from left to right) will turn into hearts and their eyes will light up.
