Frog Stickers?

[Buyatari]

You mentioned Frog Stickers in the description of one of the Ti 994a games as one of a few titles shown in companys upcoming catalog. Yet there is no listing for Frog Stickers either in the released , prototype or rumorville sections?

There should be a listing in the Rumor Mill for this one, as far as we know, no prototype has been found. It will be in the addendum. Thanks!

Really? That's interesting because I passed up buying one on Ebay for about $40 a few months ago (sometime in April I believe). I remember it had a plain white label with "Frog Stickers" stamped on it with what looked like a bad rubber stamp. I think it also may have had a small picture of a frog on the end label too, but that I can't be 100% on. It was very unprofessional looking. Unless that copy was a fake (who the heck would fake a TI game?) it exists.

That was most likely a PROTO! The game was never released!

It's not in eBay now - do you remember who won it? Anyone we might know or even one of the TI hardcore who snatch up every tough to find TI item online?

I thought it might be something special, it looked like the whole thing was in a recycled case and such. I don't remember any of the details really, just that I'm 100% sure I saw it (and almost bought it). Are you sure that one of those odd 3rd party companies like Navarone, Data Biotics, or Triton didn't put it out in limited quantities?

Ok I did some searching and it appears that Frog Stickers was indeed released by Navarone. Take a look at these pages:

This page says it came out in 86: http://timeline.99er.net/enc_f.htm

And this guy says he has it in his collection: http://atarian.home.texas.net/atariweb/TI99carts.html


While this may not be 100% proof, I'd say theres a good chance that it was released in limited quantities.

Interesting! Time to go on the HUNT > : D

Thanks for the pointers, Matt. What's particularly interesting is that the first link you gave me is a page written by Bill Gaskill... the same guy that wrote our TI-99 section!

Hello !

The "Frog Stickers" cartridge is listed here too:
[http://perso.wanadoo.fr/fabrice.montupet/toucan's_area/]
It was made by Navarone in 1986.

These pages, made by Bryan Roppolo and I, contain the TI-99 cartridges released and prototypes. There is a vaporware section too.
This should be the most comprehensive for TI carts around. If anyone out there has any TI-99 cartridge info they would like to share with us, please contact us :-) We appreciate all help we can get, Thank you!!

The "Toucan's TI-99/4A Cartriges" site is a part of www.ti99.com

Cool. I have had many email correspondences with mister Roppolo.

Here's a picture of the cart, by the way:
