Ramp-up time was a few months which included creating a custom 2600 screen editor Game design goals: Create a unique, modern-feeling game that blends game elements I loved from 80s games to create a varied experience (graphic adventures, platforming/exploration, puzzle games) Must have a basic story to make it more engaging. Text display was added right from the beginning Game should take at least 4 hours to complete and more to find all optional objectives for replay incentive There must be a payoff for completing the game: added end screen with ranking Try to avoid unrealistic object graphics and sounds as much as possible on 2600. For example: Bats and spiders should not be half the height of your character height Jumping should make a sound when you land, not when you jump up Keep it authentic: no hardware enhancements (e.g. ARM in cart) Game development details 100% written in assembler in VS Code + Atari Dev Studio ROM size is 128KB in Superbank format. This format is a regular bankswitch format without any hardware enhancements. RAM size is regular 128 bytes (includes the stack) and basically about same as to first original cartridges for 2600 except with a lot more ROM To push the Atari 2600 graphics to the limit, I created a custom screen editor that can calculate automatically the instructions for a given graphics block (kernel) and it checks whether it fits in a scanline Created a sound pattern step sequencer tool for the intro and end screen music I coded the game and designed the puzzles, graphics I did together with my wife Sandra Hanssen. She also created the box design and stickers Development time was about 10 months for the game development excluding about 4 months in ramp-up and creating tools #indiegame #atari #retrogaming #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com

When most people think of Frogger, they picture the arcade cabinet, the home console ports, or maybe even the classic handheld LCD games. But in 2000, Tiger Electronics decided to take things a step further and turn Frogger into an actual frog-shaped handheld. The result is one of the strangest licensed gaming gadgets I've ever come across. Join me as I take a look at this quirky piece of retro gaming history, put it through its paces, and find out whether this goofy green frog is all gimmick—or a surprisingly fun way to play Frogger. #retrogaming #handheld #frogger #genxgrownup - LINKS Retro Zoltan » @RetroZoltan Crazy Eights II » C82 https://youtu.be/obSeHa1d7xk - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Fysical Frogger 01:50 The Frog 03:00 Hardware "Tour" 06:30 Power On 10:07 Better Run 12:45 Summary
