    I'm going to amend the Atari graphics from a 9 to a 10, it does deserve it here and comments back that up(TI keeps its 10 aswell though🥰)
    Thanks for the comments, love hearing everyones thoughts on these 🙂👍

    That was a great showing i could see TI99 had some better characteristics but how the Atari looked just nailed the look on Frogger imo,great game this a real classic with more longevity than Brenda 👊🏻

    Love a bit of frogger, arcade classic.

      Yep the TI99 version has a great difficulty curve, just right. The 800 had this weird way of differently speeding things up at random points during the level which could catch you out. Both great though.
      Hope you have a nice chilled Sunday👍

    It was all going so well until you mentioned you were doing Pole Position next week, I won't give the outcome away for those that don't know.😬 Another great video and in my humble opinion Parker Brothers were the best developer on the TI by some way. They only released 3 games and every one was a brilliant conversion....The prototype of Tutankham is also great but sadly never got a full release.
    Hopper on the BBC Micro is also an excellent version of Frogger and just shows how good the machine was at doing early arcade clones.
    A nice Atari V TI comparison might be Demon Attack as anyone who doesn't know of the TI version will be in for a major surprise-one niggle with the TI version is the ramping up of the difficulty level which makes death unavoidable and is a real shame, Alpiner suffered from a similar level if impossibility on later levels.
