Another blast from the past, for all the retro gamers and fanatics out there! By the same developer that brought you back from the 1980's these classic tabletop games: Astro Wars, Galaxy Invader, Blip and Invader From Space and others. We are proud to present Frogger-top, originally released as Frogger by CGL and Coleco 30 years ago. This was another very popular game to have in the home. Before home computers and consoles, this was one of the must have games. Frogger needs not much introduction. Everyone should have heard of it. This particular tabletop version used a VFD display (a kind of LED) . They were before LCD games became popular but are brighter, and colourful. They don't make them like this anymore. These types of machines were made by companies such as Grandstand, Tomy, Entex, CGL, Tandy, Bandai and Epoch to name but a few. This is an accurate emulation of that actual device. Screenshots show actual app version in action and original box artwork based on the actual real box. See how close to the real thing it is! Everything has been recreated from the sounds, graphics and behavior. There are a few minor alterations with this app version. - The game modes (A and B) have been removed as there wasn't much point in this. Instead it always starts on game A and later switches to game B automatically. The sound button has been removed as this is not needed. Everything else has been painstakingly analysed and replicated. It is safe to say that it is about 95% accurate to the actual device. The object of the game is simple: Get the frogs home to their dwellings avoiding the cars and using the logs and turtles to jump between. You only get 3 lives so don't get squashed or taken by the river. The aim is to get the highest score. • Optional "zoom" to enlarge controls and zoom in main display unit (ideal for Phone). • Accurate simulation of the classic handheld /tabletop machine • Full retro sounds • Simple and addictive • Totally nostalgic • Supports iCade compatible Bluetooth controllers If using with iCade or compatible controller, press the iCade button on top left and you can now use joystick. NOTE: pressing this without connection to a compatible Bluetooth controller will bring up the keyboard. If this happens just press the button again to turn it off.

I wish you could swipe to move. The “power” button can have a long delay, so it might not seem like it’s working. Just wait. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2021-01-16, version 2.0* No funciona ### 5/5 — It’s a cute app. Especially when using a mini pad. *2020-08-25* Ok, I apologize. The app doesn’t stink. I was just not playing it right. I got the hang of it. So, sorry developers! It’s a pretty neat little app! -Ella ### 5/5 — Una maravilla *2020-07-05, version 2.0* Idéntico al original, que también tengo. El control es bueno, en seguida olvidas que es con la pantalla táctil. Hasta me resulta más cómodo jugar en el iPad. ### 2/5 — Started well but then stopped working. *2020-05-30* Great little app at first but then started to notice the up button wasn’t responding occasionally. Both on iPad and iPhone. Today the on off button has stopped responding so after a couple of days use I can no longer play the game. The replication of the game graphics is spot on and apart from the glitches I’ve had this would be great and 5 stars, but if I can’t play after purchase despite reinstalling and restarting device then I can’t rate it higher sadly. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-12-02* Please can I have a refund. Just comes up with a page with the console on. No game to play! **Developer response:** That picture of a console turns on if you press the “power button” into a game. Let me know if you have any other problems. Info@beatsnbobs.com BTW if you have mute on, or volume down, you won’t hear the intro. ( It’s exactly what the original machine did) ### 1/5 — No game available *2019-03-02* I just purchased this game and there is no way to play it. Not sure what was paid for but there is no game. Is there an issue with this site? **Developer response:** Have you pressed the on/off button on the graphic representation of the console? This is supposed to recreate the old 80s machine. If you have any problems, email me at info@beatsnbobs.com ### 5/5 — Tabletop Coleco Arcade Frogger! *2018-05-26* This isn't a scam. It's actual frogged as if it were on a tabletop coleco arcade I'm the 80's. **Developer response:** Hi thanks for rating. A scam? Nope absolutely not. Glad you remember it. I tried as hard as I could to get it the same. ### 1/5 — Not good *2018-05-01* Really rubbish, I can’t even play a game of anything on this ### 5/5 — Fast response from Developer *2018-01-09* Experience some issue and developer quick and helpful response helped me to resolve the problem! **Developer response:** Hi. Thanks for rating. Glad I fixed the issue for you. ## Frequently asked questions about Frogger ### What is Frogger-top: Tabletop Classic?
