How kind of you to say. For some reason my channel hasn't really taken off although perhaps that will change in the future? Thank you

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries All relative, your 72k (edit: 76k!) is a hell of a lot people and I imagine they're all real, super-focused retro game fans. I'd say your channel absolutely took off, to a purist audience. And well deserved too!

Thanks a bunch my friend@@Hologhoul

It was one of my favorite games growing up. I liked TRS 80 just because I could play on it whenever I went into a RadioShack LOL I don't think I've tried this version of Frogger so I will have to check it out thanks

Mine too, thanks for watching them please subscribe if you haven't already

I've never tried that one

Unlockable mods like Contra & Castlevania aesthetics made Hyper my favorite Frogger game 👍.

That's awesome, thanks for the info

Very cool, why didn't you get to play it?

LOL, talk about classic episode

even broke mine once 🥴🤣🤣👍👍

I can vaguely recall that one. I agree though, the simplest titles are sometimes the best

LOL, thank you very much. Glad you like my silly sense of humor :-)

Thanks for the kind words. There wasn't a whole lot to talk about with frogger but it's one of my favorite classic games. Yes, level II with the alligators and level III with the snakes and the otters. I hope you enjoy the retro commercials as well because I enjoy watching them. Thanks again

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I forgot to mention the commercials. Yes I love them!

@@TheMathius78 That's good, it always brings back such great memories re-watching them

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Most definitely. I'll never forget the first commercial for the original Legend of Zelda. That's the first one I can remember seeing. After that it was an Atari 7800 commercial and since it featured Mario Bros. I was ripping the couch apart in excitement. Alas I still don't have a 7800 haha!

@@TheMathius78 That Mario commercial is a classic. To this day even before I did the video on Mario Brothers I could still recite that commercial line for line

Thank you so much, I love the classics and always will

Was it in Extended Basic?

Absolutely, one of my favorites

Thank you, it's another single joystick game that works really well

That's awesome, glad you enjoyed the videos

Wow, thanks!

Thanks and welcome

Thank you very much, I wish more people thought like you :-)

You and me both my friend:-)

Absolutely, thank you for subscribing and that's a great username by the way….If you weeeeell. I try to do different time frames so frog or was from 82 I next one is from 89 so I'll probably do something like Pac-Man or centipede next. Thanks for watching

The Atari version was pretty good. Thanks

LOL, one of my favorite episodes

Joust is right up there with donkey Kong and zookeeper as being among my favorites

When my local arcade closed in 1986 I bought the Joust upright cabinet from the arcade owner. Even to this day I still own and play it. My young son loves trying to beat his old man.

Awesome, thank you!

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries you're welcome!

I am to it would Have been perfect

Yes it was :-)

Thank you for the nice words. I did not know that about freeway but it makes sense

Awesome, thank you! Cheers from across the pond my friend thanks

Thanks buddy

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries You're Welcome. ^_^

Growing up in the arcade there was no description on the cabinet of what the creatures were. I do recall some people thinking that they were seals in my arcade as well.

So do I, both classic games

I sure loved mine

We must be pretty close in age if that's the case :-)

I just got a snowball ice microphone about a month ago and the quality is much better compared to my old one. I'll try to get a bit closer to the microphone though. Thanks for subscribing and also being a patreon member. I really appreciate it.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I look forward to future videos :-) As for the microphone, don't be afraid to test a few scenarios (up close, a foot away, close but to the side, etc.) and record some sound tests. (It took me two hours of testing my first time to come up with something I was happy with.)

@@JimLeonard That's great advice, I'll be doing that before I start recording my next one. Thank you

They sure did,

Yes it is, it has definitely stood the test of time

LOL good cult

Frogger is one of the most copied cloned arcade games right next to Pac-Man and donkey Kong. I'm sure if I ever do an update of this I can include a few homebrew's. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the histories

This wasn't the first game I ever played but it is one of my favorites

It's all good :-)

I was not aware of the 7800. I'll check it out. Thanks

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Yes, you can get it on Atari Age both with and without Pokey: www.atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1177

@Eugenio Angueira I just checked it out and it's a really good conversion. To bad we didn't have this to play back in the day

Frogger was pretty good on the 2600 but asteroids left a lot to be desired

Genesis version is good and I haven't got to mess around with tiny arcade at all. Thanks for watching

No problem, Thanks for watching

Thankfully I never had to play it on a real 5200. LOL thanks for the info though

So did I

Yes it was

That's going to be awesome

Excellent

LOL

LOL, glad I could help :-)

It was my goal to make this identical to the arcade version. I actually put the ROM image from the arcade in the Sega Genesis cartridge for graphics and music. It's playing the actual MIDI-type music sequences from the arcade, and the graphics were digitally extracted from the arcade ROM image, too. Had to recreated by hand the actual gameplay, though (deadline pressure) and since I couldn't reach the higher levels had to invent them. If I'd had more time might have replaced the 8-bit graphics with 16-bit new artwork, but didn't think any player would mind arcade-perfect. Glad you like it!

LOL, one of my favorite episodes

Thanks for the info

Very cool, I had it as a kid but don't know whatever happened to it

I think the first one I ever played on the Atari was space invaders

Thanks for watching, glad you like it

No problem 👍Thanks

This was one of my earlier videos so I may have to go back and do a remastered version at some point With extra content

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Thanks. 😊

Thank you very much :-)

Excellent, I did not know that

Sorry about that

LOL, you may be right

Yes it is

Yes it does LOL

Thanks

One of those mysteries of the universe. It must be an alternate timeline where water kills frogs

You know who also can't swim? Claude from Grand Theft Auto III.

It's definitely in my top five

The original frogger is the absolute best!

There were so many spinoffs of froggr I kept it simple. Otherwise it would be a three hour video

LOL, the game is very addictive

Ooooohhhhh.... You meant like manipulating a joystick instead of...er... :o

@@aurorafrost288 naughty girl. 😁

Straight from the designer's mouth it's not clear whether it's a male or female frog. This was done on purpose to lure in the female audience.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I always assumed it was, because of the heart when you pick up the other frog.

@@Gamevet Some frogs actually engage in a pre-mating piggyback ride called "Amplexus". Very realistic :-P

Not my first but it was close. I can recall playing space invaders and also some obscure black-and-white bowling game coincidentally enough at a bowling alley. :-)

I agree 100%
