I would like to add Frogger to my cab collection, US version. If anyone has one for sale, or knows of one for sale, then please don´t hesitate to contact me. The game must be in good technical and cosmetical condition.
Trades are possible.
-
Does this mean that from now you're gonna harass me with my Juno AND my frogger? ;D
Why don't you ask Love to bring you one? he is our official Santa Claus.
-
Lol, didn't you tell Andre and me that your collection was complete a few days ago? ;D ;D ;)
-
;D
Another LOL moment of the same kind I had a few days ago was when Bruno told me that, quote: "No more cabs are entering the Lair".
-

He sure did !

That is almost exactly what has happened, Love was Santa Claus last week, so you don´t have to be afraid any longer that one day your JF will be gone. :D
And you are right André, it is foolish to think that a collection is ever complete. So I now have opened The Hunt for The Green Frogger.
And I asked Love to help me. :)
And as I said, I am in for trades (Pac-Man anyone, with the best stencil set there is).
-
When I saw that JF in the list I KNEW it was for you!
I love my frog too and still can't get it to work despite my efforts.
I already changed the switcher but no improvements so far.
-

But then you were wrong. :) Of course I have seen it also on the list and I was jealous at the guy for whom it was. It wasn´t mine, but now it is. :D

I like the Zacc version better.
There's just WAY too much woodgrain going on on that cabinet.
Nice condition Zacc Frogger on that ad, but I guess I will never get used to UK prices....

Loaction: Gosport. Sounds like Rav or Olly....
See what I mean with UK prices ? Now personally I don't like Paper Boy but even so, that would _never_ get over €1000 on mainland Europe. It isn't even working !
Note that I am _NOT_ price policing here, just stating the facts.
Maybe I should sell my Bally Galaxian to the UK. Should easily fetch €1500 in the condition it is in..... :D
That is _IF_ I ever decide to sell it....
-
That zacc is defenetly cooler than the sega gremlin one
especially since it is the "full" zacc with sideart.. :spaceace:
-
Aouch...
Taste and colors :P
Personally I find the Zacc with their "beware: nuclear frog"-design too much "in your face", they are trying too hard to make the game wow-spectacular.
That mixture of realistic drawings and flashy colors/shapes has nothing to do with the "almost cartoon like" look of the game itself.
Besides that wood grain IS the 80's.
Don't you remember that everything was woodgrain back then? the sidewalks, your lunch sandwiches, the swimtrunks, etc...
Erik, keep on going for the US one, it's the only real deal, especially with the frog stickers on the sides ;)
-
Good choice! Frogger is a "pure classic"
I prefer the original version... If you want less wood grain you can add a side-art on it ;)

Maybe in the US or Belgium but not in my country. Woodgrain was considered bad taste all over the place even in the 80s'. I still hate it. It is so fake.
@Atarimania: still too much woodgrain. PLUS I don't like the shape of the cab. Just MHO :)
Maybe the Italians overdid the artwork on the Zacc, but at least they TRIED :P
The ONLY thing I like about the US version is that tyre track. HOWEVER, instead of doing it properly they only did it partly. It should have gone over the woodgrain too of course. I mean, what the hell happened at the point between the CP and the kickplate ? Did the car suddenly take off there ? Or did it land from the sky there if you want to believe the track is running from the down-side up ??
In fact, it should have been all over the woodgrain so we wouldn't see the woodgrain ! :P
That's why I really like Ully's Frogger. It's the best mod to a cab I've ever seen IMHO.
-
Yeah, the Zacc looks much better and it would be really nice next to your Moon Crest. ;)
-
The truth is that it was originally designed to be a bartop machine.
The lower all woodgrain part was a last minute addition ::)
To me the 80's are a lot about "fake" and "bad taste", that's why that cheesy woodgrain is iconic of this period.

Really ? They were very real for me ;D
It's just that Sega/Gremin cabs seem to be designed with so little love. I mean, compare it to Atari's and Bally-Midways from the same era....all the cabs have the same (dull) shape and artwork is quickly and cheaply done...
O well no point in discussing taste ;D ;D

Of course, it was just for the fun, now let's go catch some frogs for Erik ;)
-
Kinda agree with Chris, it's so ugly that it gets cool again.. ;D
-
Eric,
A Zaccaria Frogger has just been listet on eBay in the UK.
-
Thanks Olly, but besides that it is way overpriced, I am really after this great looking woodgrain US version:
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/agg/cov200/drg200/g251/g25132m357j.jpg)
Although I do remember that I always hated woodgrain in those days, it is typically a sign of that time. But let´s not discuss taste and originallity in this WTB topic, I want the US version and that´s it.

"It is so fake."
The Ataris are real fake as they PRETEND not to be made from plywood. The Gremlin cabs don't, they SHOW what they are: A cheap box made to get your money :)
-
Love You're a great guy but sometimes I don't follow you....

Defintion of fake: "Something that isn't real."
All arcade games are fake by definition. They are made out of plywood/wood!
Fancy graphics cover that up. Ugly woodgrain shows it somehow. So, whats more fake, a nice Atari cab or a ugly woodgrain Gremlin Frogger.
-
Well, those 12 or so arcade games I have in my gameroom are pretty real to me..... ;D
OK, lets get a Frogger for Erik now :):)

2: I mailed you a proposal but got no reply......
7: I would like to but my wife and kid want to keep it
8&9: the original is still an empty shell with a lot of parts all around. The boot is lovely special cab, which plays more comfortable than the original and is more compact and easier to move around. It is also completely working and in very good condition. I just haven't made up my mind about those two just yet. If anyone is looking for an Asteroids project, PM me....I've got almost everything needed....
OH AND ANOTHER FREE BUMP! ERIK IS LOOKING FOR KERMIT THE FROG STILL !!!!!
