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.

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

Operation is a battery-operated game of physical skill that tests players' hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The game's prototype was invented in 1964 by University of Illinois industrial-design student John Spinello, who sold his rights to renowned toy designer Marvin Glass for $500 and the promise of a job upon graduation, which was not fulfilled. Thirty-plus years later, in 1998, Hasbro published this handheld variant to bring the popular board game into the video game space.
