Frogger is one arcade game 8 bits can come very close to arcade perfect, I think - along with Qbert (althought that has sampled speech - forget that aspect). I think the Coleco can cope with multicoloured sprites - these look a bit Spectrum-like.
I've been tempted to get a Colecovision for a long time, but I hear the controllers are ass. Is this true? Are those mushroom joysticks stiff and unresponsive? How are they with Frogger?
@7megahertz Most of the old joysticks can be fixed and also modded for a better gaming experience. Just cleaning the contacts inside do help, but if you're looking for the best solution and still keep the standard control as it should be, contact a guy named Yurkie on AtariAge forums, he's an expert that can certainly help you.
@y2k4ever1 Honnestly, I've not tested it, and can't test it now. Since that it's not a game programmed in the golden rules of Colecovision programming, there is a possibility that it might not work for the Coleco ADAM computer. Since that, so far, the only game that was confirmed having an issue running on Coleco ADAM is SteamRoller (can't pass a certain level for unknow reason), my answer is that I think Frogger should also works on Coleco ADAM computers.
@y2k4ever1 I think this game is playable on both, ColecoVision and Coleco ADAM, but I've never tried my cartridge on the computer... I'll have to dig up in my cave of wonders to find back my Coleco ADAM to find the answer... or you can just ask your Coleco ADAM questions to the experts at adamcon dot org, they have a weekly chat session if you want a quick reply.
Hey man. I'm doing comparison videos for My new channel. Would you Mind if I used a clip from this video for it. I can't get My emulator to cooperate.
@wingnut4427 - no problem, and I'm glad you asked. Take any game footage from my channel... not just copy them, that's boring, make them your video as you suggest by doing comparison. Have fun!
@wingnut4427 - I am having the same darn problem on Virtual Coleco vision. I can select 1 or 2 up. I can select sound on or off. I can select slow or fast. What darn button do I push to begin the darn game? It's maddening!
@mikeferr107 I use BlueMSX now :D works like a charm ! It can emulate MSX, Colecovision, Colecovision with Memory expansion, Spectravision, Sg1000 & 3000. Of course You have to change the settings when You jump from one emulation to another. but it's simple after You do it a couple of times. :)
@wingnut4427 - Thanks for the response..but let me please ask you. Did you ever figure out how to start the Frogger game on Vcolecovision? How do I get it to start? Ty.
@mikeferr107 I had to download several roms from different sites. doperoms (dot) com. Or theoldcomputer (dot) com. There are several Roms avalible. :)
@wingnut4427 - Oh...okay. So I take that as the answer is that the ROM is f--ked up. That's been the problem all along? Sakes! Okay. Thanks for the sources. I'll try finding another ROM that I can actually play. Thank you!
@wingnut4427 - I had no luck on finding the rom I needed. All the ones I tried, none of them work on Colem2.1 or Vcolecovision. I'm going to guess that the BlueMSX plays the .zip file roms, not the .rom roms like Colem2.1 and Vcolecovision. Grr. Oh well..I tried.
Intense.

That's funny. I agree that the otter does look like the Loch Ness monster.
