Even with no otters and a lack of background music, this version of Frogger still succeeds at being the best home version of the 8-bit era. The graphics are the major factor in this success, boasting fine detail, even more color than the arcade game, and most importantly, no distractingly bright border. Other than the missing game theme, the arcade game's music is nicely recreated, and the game play will satisfy even the most nitpicky Frogger fans. In short, a winner.
(Note: The Atari 5200 and the Atari 8-bit computers have very similar hardware, and games were often published with the same code for both. The Atari 5200 release isn't as easy to play with its analog joystick, but fortunately the Parker Brothers programmers thought of this and enabled the game to be played with the controller keypad also.)
