Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted.

Leapin' Frogger! Home may look like it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away, but looks can be deceiving. First, there's a dangerous highway to hop across, full of fast-moving cars and trucks. Then there's a swirling river to leap, full of frog-eating creatures. How's Frogger going to get home safely? By letting you hop him on his way. Guide Frogger safely through this perilous journey, and you'll jump for joy!

Hints and Tips

The Manual

As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, the manual doesn't contain any real hints.

theKLT

Learn the pattern for getting Frogger into position 1 (early and/or don't wait till 4 are in) and the first few levels will become easier.

Frogger... because I didn't get enough of it in the Arcade HSC!

It's interesting that TG doesn't have scores for Game 1, Difficulty A...

Just warming up though. And yes, I've said that before, I know.

ARRRRGH! I can't believe I forgot to post a score for last week's game. I did play, but it's too late now.

A mistake I won't make again.

Don't feel too bad. I did that twice in a row during the past Yule season. And my overall score suffered severely on account of it.

Yeah, neither does Toy, I'm sure!

Mac, I haven't put your boxes out yet...will do tomorrow, I promise.

EDIT: My first go around: 4,426.

This is actually easier to play with keyboard commands on the emulator...too bad the flicker is wicked bad. I'll see what I can do on actual hardware later on.

I've owned & passed on this game 3 times over the yrs, & just re-acquired it thru a recent trade- just in time for this HSC!

The game actually rolls back to the first level of difficulty, but with both snakes. I only had 1 life going into it, but I couldn't figure out the pattern with only one life. I'll have to keep playing it to see what happens.
