Frogger was one of my favorite games when I was a youngster, so it's not surprising that I put a lot of time into the Parker Bros VCS version.

I was amazed when I saw the Starpath version of the game years later. The turtles look like turtles and you can see the tires on the cars. Not the mention that the gameplay is more faithful to the arcade.

Strangely enough, I prefer the Starpath version to the arcade, as the color choices of the arcade can be rather jaring after a couple of levels. Probably the technically finest arcade conversion on the VCS.
