    Yep.  One.  This froggy can't swim so stay out of the water.  How can you have a frog that can't swim.  Of course I'm only being sarcastic here.
    For added points...the three small logs have a pattern.  Every other pass those logs make from left to right will have a female frog.  She will be on the last log to come from the left.  Pick her up and hop in a cave for bonus points.  I have also found it best practice with each new stage to watch it for a few seconds and see how everything moves.  Cars move this way, logs and turtles move that way.  Watch the mechanics of the game.  That should help some.

    @TrekMD @RickR
    This is my strategy exactly, but with the added measure of running right or left with the "traffic". Then I can take a step back, let a path become clear, and then go for it. If you watched me play you'd see I move more like a lion than a frog. Sit and wait for the right opportunity and then pounce.

    This probably isn't much less obvious than saying "Don't get run over" - but the strategy I've found works best for me is not hesitating to "take two steps forward and one step back". Quite often I have to take a step back, move further down the screen, and try another move at advancing up the screen. I lose some precious seconds, but I keep my lives and live on to fight another round. It's okay to take a step or two back, so long as you see a path worth taking.

    Starpath version: 12,810. I played on Stella 6.7 for Mac OS & used the keyboard. I recorded my gameplay using Wondershare Filmora 11. This version is really good. I wish I had known about it sooner.

    @Atari 5200 Guy Yes! I love doing things like that! We did that a few years ago with a Crystal Castles Double Feature, playing Crystal Castles on Atari 2600, alongside the original arcade version of Crystal Castles. You were the first to join in!
     
     
     
    We also did a Devil's Crush pinball Double Feature on TurboGrafx-16 and Sega Genesis (Dragon's Fury) where it was fun to compare the differences between the two games. It seemed like that was one of the times where TurboGrafx-16 won out:

    You know what would be really cool?  A side by side challenge.  All those ads from Atari showing the 2600 & 5200 ports of arcade hits?  It would be neat to have a head to head 2600 vs 5200 type challenge.  If we play a game on the 2600 and it is on the 5200 and 7800 then include those as well.  Just a thought.

    The 2600 got a decent Frogger conversion.  It looks, plays, and sounds good.  The opening music on the 2600 PB cart doesn't sound much different from the 5200 port.

    Sadly, I had the same experience. Very fun game. I just didn't have the time to really progress. I always enjoy discovering a great game that I missed out on. Gonna spend more time on this one for sure. 🙂
