First release on each platform, from IGDB’s records of this game’s ports and editions. Remakes are separate games with their own pages, so they are not listed here.
We haven’t priced or authenticated the versions without a section on this page yet.
Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Atari 2600 version
Parker Brothers' well-reviewed home Frogger, common, cheap and a good first cart for a new 2600 owner.
Frogger began as a 1981 Konami arcade game, published by Sega, in which you guide five frogs home across a busy road and then a river of floating logs, turtles and alligators. It became one of the most widely ported games of its era.
Parker Brothers published the Atari 2600 version in August 1982, with Ed English credited as designer. The cartridge reviewed well in the period press, and it is common enough that a loose copy costs very little.
How it was made
Ed English is credited as designer of the 2600 conversion. Parker Brothers released it in North America in August 1982, with a PAL release in the third quarter of the same year.
What the press said at the time
| AllGame | 4.5/5 | |
| Arcade Express | 9/10 | |
| Creative Computing | Positive | |
| Electronic Fun with Computers & Games | A | |
| The Space Gamer | Positive | |
| Arcade Express arcade_express_v1n3 | September 12, 1982 | 9/10 |
| JoyStik January 1983 | January 1983 | ★★★★★ |
“this is as close to the Sega quarter-snatcher as anyone could possibly come, within the restrictions imposed by the VCS system.”
“It is one of those rare cartridges that combine great graphics with sophisticated play action.”
“In light of the mediocre translations that have surfaced in the VCS software market of late, it is refreshing to report that Parker Brothers' designers have conveyed "Frogger" with most of its principal elements firmly intact.”
“All in all, Parker Brothers' Frogger is an excellent cartridge, one of the best VCS-compatible videogames to emerge in a year of fantastic game programs.”
Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks. JoyStik’s capsule ratings run from one star to five.
Cartridge & preservation record
Program size 4 KB, measured from the preserved dump.
Catalogue number as recorded for the physical release.
How the Atari 2600 version differs
The 2600 got two separate releases: Parker Brothers' cartridge and a Sierra-licensed cassette for the Starpath Supercharger add-on.
Reviewers ranked it among the most faithful 2600 arcade translations. Creative Computing called it one of the most detailed translations and noted that it adds a wraparound screen.
Electronic Games noted that Frogger was the first 2600 program to play two-part harmony, and gave it the 1983 Arkie for Best Arcade-to-Home Translation.

| Atari 2600 | Parker Bros. (designed by Ed English) |
- Commodore 64. The Commodore 64 had both Sierra's disk version and Parker Brothers' cartridge, and Ahoy! judged both excellent with little to choose between them.
How the other versions reviewed
| Arcade | AllGame | 5/5 |
| Arcade | Computer and Video Games | Positive |
| PC | Computer Games | Classic |
These are the other versions’ scores, not this one’s. Ports of this era were frequently built by different studios, so they do not transfer.
Worth knowing
- Two-part harmony. Electronic Games' January 1983 review credited the VCS version to Ed English and singled out its music: "For the first time on a 2600 program, gamers are treated to the wonders of two-part harmony". The same issue's Arkie citation called its creator "anonymous".
- Dealer cost, mid-1983. A mid-1983 classified ad pitching a part-time game dealership used Frogger as its worked example: "FROGGER, retail price $38.50, your cost is $19.50. You sell at $24.50". By late 1983 the ad's example dealer cost had fallen to $5.95.
- 1983 Arkie Award. Frogger won Best Arcade-to-Home Translation in Electronic Games' 1983 Arkie Awards.
Before you buy
Low risk; this is a common Parker Brothers cart with no documented reproductions. Loose copies are inexpensive. Boxed copies cost more, and sealed copies sit far above both, so judge box condition carefully if you are paying for a complete or sealed copy.

The Atari 5200 version
Parker Brothers' 5200 Frogger drew praise for its color, music and fast-or-slow play, but it has no pause.
Parker Brothers licensed Frogger from Sega and released it on the 5200 in 1983, and AtariAge credits Steve Kranish as programmer. Computer Entertainer said in issue 2-4 that it had been translated beautifully to the 5200, with lively, colorful graphics and the familiar theme music sounding great.
It offers a fast game and a slow game. The fast game was described as every bit as challenging as the coin-op, and the slow one gives children a chance. The same review noted a missing feature: the pause function was not programmed into this version.
How it was made
AtariAge credits Steve Kranish as programmer of the 5200 cartridge, which Parker Brothers published.
What the press said at the time
| Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 4 | July 1983 | Graphics ★★★★ · Play-Action ★★★★ |
“FROGGER has been translated beautifully to the Atari 5200 format by Parker Brothers. … FROGGER is a charming and delightful game that has become a classic, and this version is an excellent one.”
Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.
How the Atari 5200 version differs
Computer Entertainer noted the 5200 Frogger offers joystick or keypad control, and preferred the keypad, which uses four buttons for forward, backward, left and right hops.
The 5200 adaptation has no pause feature, and its fast game is very close to the coin-op in play.

Before you buy
Low risk and common. AtariAge flags it as using the keypad overlays, so a complete copy should have them and a loose cart's back may still hold them. The 5200 stick has no centering, so quick direction changes are harder than on a 2600 joystick. This is a standard third-party label, not one of Atari's silver generations.

The ColecoVision version
Parker Brothers' ColecoVision Frogger earned a must-have recommendation from Computer Entertainer, and it is cheap enough to buy on that alone.
Parker Brothers published the ColecoVision Frogger in the fall of 1983. Computer Entertainer's review said that after playing six other versions it was still entertained, and added that anyone without another version of the classic should consider this one a must for their library.
It offers a choice of slow or fast games, the fast one closest to the coin-op. The reviewer also noticed small changes: extra tunes alongside the familiar theme (with the music able to be switched off) and more variety in the highway, including tanks among the cars and trucks. Controls were described as working well, which is not true of every ColecoVision cartridge.
What the press said at the time
| Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 9 | December 1983 | Graphics ★★★★ · Play-Action ★★★★ |
“Despite having played six other versions of this game for various systems, this latest adaptation managed to capture our attention and entertain us thoroughly.”
Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — diamonds through early 1987, stars after — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.
How the ColecoVision version differs
Computer Entertainer said the ColecoVision version adds a few other tunes to the familiar theme, and the music can be turned off.
The highway traffic is more varied than in other versions, with tanks added to the cars and trucks.

- Coleco Mini-Arcade. Coleco released stand-alone Mini-Arcade tabletop versions of Frogger, which together with its Pac-Man, Galaxian and Donkey Kong versions had three million sales combined.
Worth knowing
- From the ColecoVision manual. Before starting you can choose slow or fast game speed; the fast option starts each level slow and then speeds up.
- From the ColecoVision manual. An extra Frogger is awarded each time your score passes another 10,000 points.
- From the ColecoVision manual. There are 4 game levels; once you complete them level 4 repeats until all your frogs are lost.
Before you buy
Plays with the standard ColecoVision controller. It is a cheap cartridge, loose or boxed, and the box adds less than on most of the library, so there is little reason to overpay for any copy. Do not confuse it with Frogger II: Threedeep, a separate ColecoVision cartridge with a similar label, which was published later.

The Intellivision version
A close, well-received Parker Brothers conversion of the arcade game, missing only the theme song.
Parker Brothers held the Sega license and released Frogger for the Intellivision in 1983, with Roklan listed as developer. Electronic Games in spring 1984 said color, graphics, sound and play are all very close to the arcade game, with the missing theme song the only gap, and called it a must for Intellivision owners.
One or two players can share it. It is the version to own if you want the arcade layout and sound on the Intellivision, and it is cheap.
How it was made
Published by Parker Brothers, with Roklan credited as developer, in 1983.
What the press said at the time
| Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 3 | June 1983 | Graphics ★★★★ · Play-Action ★★★★ |
| Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 2 No. 1 | November 1983 | 3 joysticks (of 4) |
“Colorful graphics, sprightly music, and delightfully amusing game play combine to make FROGGER a great game.”
“The graphics are more colorful than a lockerful of jockeys, but you may need a guide to tell what’s what.”
“This one-or two-player version will undoubtedly become a must for Intellivisionaries. The color, graphics, sound, and game play are all very close to the arcade game's.”
Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — diamonds through early 1987, stars after — comparing each game only with other games for the same system. Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks.

| Intellivision | Parker Brothers (publisher) |
| Arcade | Konami |
- Commodore 64. One reviewer found both the Sierra disk version and the Parker Brothers cartridge version excellent, with little to choose between them.
Worth knowing
- From the Intellivision manual. This Parker Brothers cartridge is labelled for Intellivision, Tandyvision and the Sears Super Video Arcade.
- From the Intellivision manual. Each frog has roughly 30 seconds to reach a home bay, and unused time ticks convert to bonus points.
- From the Intellivision manual. Rescuing the pink lady frog from a log earns bonus points once you also get Frogger home safely.
Before you buy
Parker Brothers shipped no keypad overlays, so any in the box are fan reprints. Boxed copies are priced modestly above loose ones, and sealed copies are several times as much.

The Sega Genesis version
A late, cheap Genesis take on an old arcade idea, with little reason to pay more than a casual price.
This is the Genesis cartridge of Frogger, which Majesco published in North America in 1998 with Morning Star Multimedia credited as developer. The name goes back to Konami's 1981 arcade game, in which you guide frogs across a road and a river.
A copy is a cheap pickup for completing a Genesis shelf.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The main thing is condition and completeness: the case, cartridge and manual make a complete copy.
