I have played plenty of Frogger over the years—but somehow, I had never played the 1997 Frogger reboot for the original PlayStation. This time, I’m going in completely fresh to see how the simple arcade classic was transformed into a full 3D adventure. Unfortunately, it does not take long for the traffic, awkward controls, and questionable design choices to start taking their toll. Come along as I play PlayStation Frogger for the very first time and discover whether this ambitious update can win me over—or leave me wishing the frog had stayed in the arcade. #retrogaming #playstation #frogger #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 - SPONSORS Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 '97 Frogger 01:45 Boot Up 04:28 Retro Levels 08:35 Lily Islands 10:05 Honey Bee Hollow 11:52 Scorching Switches 13:35 Dark Dark Cavern 15:45 Conclusion

Turning Atari’s Centipede into a board game sounds like a questionable idea—but Milton Bradley did far more than paste familiar artwork onto an unrelated children’s game. In this video, I set up and play the officially licensed 1983 Centipede board game, explore designer Bruce Whitehill’s unusual arcade research, and see how the segmented centipedes, mushrooms, cannons, spider and scorpion translate to the tabletop. The result includes some genuinely clever strategy and a wonderful sense of movement, although the spinner can occasionally leave one player at the mercy of some very unlucky turns. It may not recreate the speed of the arcade classic, but it clearly understands what made Centipede recognizable. Did you play this one—or another board game based on a classic arcade game?

I spend some time talking about the perfect storm of a film that is Wreck-It Ralph, why it resonated so strongly with a GenX’er like myself, and why it’s still one of my favorites.
