trying to determine platform Frogger II: Threedeep cartridge

[Perkar]

so i have this cartridge here... actually i have 2 of them.



and i have no clue what system it goes to... at first i thought it was for the colecovision, but upon further inspection it isn't... coleco label faces the other way.

anyway, just wondering if anyone could help me identify this thing. any help is appreciated. thanks!

Looks like the VCS version to me. The Colecovision label is gold in color.

Actually it SHOULD be the Commodore 64 version (I have the cart myself.) Any chance you could snap a quick pic of its butt so I can see the part of the PCB that's sticking out?

it's definitely not a 2600 cart... it's about a half an inch narrower in width. doesn't come close to fitting in the cartridge slot on my system.

Looks either like the C=64 or the Atari 2600. Snap a pic of the connectors.

no pic at the moment, but the PCB sticking out of the end almost covers the entire width of the cartridge.

It might be an Atari 8 bit cart. My RotJeath Star Battle cart looks like that.

here's the requested pic...



so we're thinking C64, eh?

[Jibbajaba]

My vote still goes with the C64. Why not just pop it in your Commodore and find out?

Chris

Here's the comparison:

VCS left, C-64 right

Hello, reason why the video game market crashed in the early '80s.

What you're saying? Frogger Threeedeep is an excellent game.

What you're saying? Frogger Threeedeep is an excellent game.

And it was obviously released on so many systems that no one can figure out which one this particular cartridge is for.

[Mayhem]

Yep C64, knew it as soon as I saw it. Actually quite a good game overall.

Well yes that is so true. Released on all major formats at the time:

Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Coleco
Atari XL
C-64
Apple ][

Only missing on Intellivision

I can tell you with absolute 100% certianty that it is for the Commodore 64.

It looks exactly like my C64 Q*bert which I am staring at as I type this.

Good find, too! I have never seen that game in the wild - on any platform.

No, that's the fault of the manufacturers of the era for not stating for what platform is it. :P I've seen a ton of similar carts but NONE say the system it's intended for. Bloody annoying.
