The effort to research, the fact you continuously put out awesome videos, the fact you fill an awesome niche in the retro-gaming Youtube sphere... and yet you only have 72k subs? This is criminal.

3:05 When Queen played on Saturday Night Live in 1982, Brian May is wearing a white Frogger t-shirt.

I was always fascinated with Frogger. I had it for the TRS-80 Model I. It was very accurate, even though it only had black & white graphics. It even had polyphonic music on the title screen and although it had music during gameplay, it was choppy due to the burden of scrolling the screen at the same time.

the original Crossy Road! Frogger: Hyper Arcade edition is a nice retro/modern remake on PS3. Wish it was on PS4, I don't play PS3 much these days.

...ahhh I remember that night...The perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella...just the right amount of grease on the joy stick... 860,000 GLC!!!

This is your best video yet production-wise, P. I'm so glad you included all the high profile ports, and the Seinfeld bit. I always liked it when games back then included different enemies as the game advanced, like the yellow tanks in Battlezone, and here with the snakes. They always kinda fascinated me when I was a kid.

Ah, my first rage. Nothing like a controller throwing session of Frogger.

My earliest video game memory was seeing a Frogger cartridge for the 2600 in my parent's bedroom. I never got to play it but I distinctly remember that cartridge.

Ah yes! Growing up I played this a few thousand times. The local movie theatre had a cocktail table version, and the local arcade, Video Palace in Gloversville, NY, had this too. As I get older now, and I explore new hobbies, maybe building cabinets and games should be on the list. Yes. I think so...

Great video! Thank you for the nostalgia trip! I still play Frogger and other arcade classics to this day.

I really liked that PlayStation version of Frogger. It was a lot of fun. There was also an awesome game with a similar aesthetic called Pong 2000 that I spent a lot of time on as well. Sometimes the simplest, pick up and play, titles are still the best.
-
One of my favourite video games.
-
I rewatch the video every time I binge playing Frogger on MAME because "a short angry fart" is quite possibly the funniest line in any Youtube video...ever....makes me smile every time, then giggle....then....a short happy fart! :-) Thanks again, love your videos.
-
Your videos are better than anything on TV. Keep up the great work.

I had the TI-99/4A version which was written in Basic and was published in the local TI 99 Sydney Club magazine. I remember spending an evening in 1984 typing the code into my Ti-99/4A and saving it to cassette. It was a very good version of Frogger. Thanks for the memories ;-)

I just recently discovered your channel and now im binge watching your videos. Your doing a great job man keep at it. Im a gamer from WAY back and I learn something cool from every video.
-
Your channel is awesome and deserves way more attention
-
Thank you for a great video. I am subscribing hoping you do more of the classic games such as Pac-Man Centipede and Asteroids. One of my favorite things about this video is the screenshots of the various platforms for home video play. Awesome job though!
-
Great video, "Frogger" along with "Dig-dug" were a small hand-full of games i could actually see well enough to play in the arcades.

Just wanted to say I love the videos you're doing, you're off to a great start. My only suggestion is to get a better microphone (or get closer to your existing one). But please keep up the great work!
