Your Feedback - Frogger TV Arcade Game by Majesco

[atomicthumbs]

Has anyone picked up one of these?

It's from Majesco instead of the Namco ones from Jakks and the Taito one from Radica (which are both quality), and I was just wondering how this one was. Does it just have the original Frogger arcade game, or does it have additional levels in the same style?

Feedback anyone?

Haven't used one or seen one out of the package, so I can't speak to its quality. But I can tell you that it's only the original Frogger and nothing else, which doesn't exactly strike me as a great value for $20.

The Konami Arcade Classics joystick, also by Majesco (and basically a port of the GBA title of the same name), has not just Frogger but also Gyruss, Yie-Ar Kung Fu and Time Pilot for the same amount of money.

The Frogger one, methinks, is destined to be a "for-completists-only" special. :)

Ah-Ha!

Thanks for the info, so this one can be locked up tighter than yo' daddy's porno stash.

I got the Konami stick today and it's the NES versions of the games (down to the flickering on Rush N Attack), even though the screenshots on the packaging and graphics on the stick seem to indicate that the arcade versions are on there.

Well, hell, just the name of "Arcade Advanced" would seem to say that it's the "real" versions of the games. I wouldn't mind too much, but I wanted a good version of Yie Ar Kung Fu and frankly the NES version sucks ass -- totally unlike the arcade game and not really worthy of the Konami name.

The Frogger joystick is (I think) the actual arcade version, though it's still horribly overpriced at $20 since it's just that game. If there was any game that you could slap one on of these by itself, it would be Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man and Jakks still included 4 other games on those sticks.

Still, with Rush N Attack, Gyruss and Time Pilot, the Konami stick is probably the second favorite joystick/game I've bought behind the Space Invaders one (the joystick on the Konami one is just a little too big).

BTW, Target has the Namco/Spongebob sticks on sale for $14 and they've dropped the price on the Genesis pad to $25, though that one is still overpriced for the game on it. Also, for some reason, they had most of the sticks in the toy section, but the Konami ones were in the electronics section.

Yeah, about the same at Wal-Mart. They have most of them priced at $14.77. Not too shabby.
