Overview:

As you're checking out the Frogger Desktop Arcade, you should be hearing the triumphant sounds of angels ascending to heaven. That's because you have arrived at one of the most glorious pages on the Internet.

This is the page where you can purchase your own mini arcade version of Frogger. Through the miracles of science and nerddom, Frogger (which was originally going to be named Highway Crossing Frog) has been shrunk down to a portable size. However, all of its original charm (and awesome music and sound effects) have been carefully preserved.

The desktop Frogger arcade features an arcade-style joystick, mute and pause buttons, increasing levels of difficulty, and an auto-off function to preserve battery power (requires 2AA, not included).

Features & specs:

  • Color LCD background
  • Authentic arcade sounds and music
  • Multiple challenge levels
  • Mute and pause buttons
  • 6.5" wide x 8" deep x 8" tall
  • Requires 2AA batteries (not included)

Bring Frogger into the comfort of your home and office.

Yes, we're quite aware that you can play Frogger on any number of websites. Heck, you can probably play Frogger on your cell phone. But, your cell phone doesn't have an arcade-style joystick. And your computer, as portable as it may be, doesn't look like a miniaturized Arcade machine.

So, stop trying to come up with reasons to not buy one of the coolest gadgets to which we at Vat19 have become hopelessly addicted. The only reason to not buy the Frogger Desktop Arcade would be to preemptively avoid the withdrawal sweats and shakes when you try to kick your nasty Frogger habit.

Sit comfortably and play arcade-style Frogger wherever your little heart desires.

Desktop Frogger Arcade is true to the 1971 original

That's right, we said 1971. Many of you are thinking, "Wait a second, I thought Frogger came out in 1981. Must be a typo." Well, you, sir (or ma'am), are incorrect. Frogger was developed in 1971 by the University of Washington Psychology Department as some sort of prize / reward for completing a short-term memory test. Someone at Konami stol..er...borrowed the idea and released it on the Atari in 1981. Thank you, Wikipedia, for making us look oh-so-informed.

Check out our 1971-ish graphic below for some of the features of the Desktop Arcade Frogger. In addition to the boss key (mute button) and the bathroom-break button (pause button), Frogger features an arcade-style joystick and an auto-off feature that turns off the power (but doesn't lose your game) after 3 minutes of inactivity.

I have a burning question about this product!

Because this product is currently retired, we can no longer accept new burning questions. Sorry!

Your questions that have been answered by the Vat19.com staff

Q: I thought the original had lily pads and logs?
A: We thought the original Frogger had logs, turtles, and alligators. There have been many version of Frogger though.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Does this version have the rogue blue frog that floats by that you can jump on and change your color?
A: No. Check out our Frogger video to see exactly what the screen looks like as the game is played.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What is this product's lifespan? It is very cute and Frogger is the epitome of the arcade game, but I want to make sure I am getting my money's worth.
A: Other than the batteries needing to be changed, the Desktop Frogger Arcade Game doesn't really have a lifespan.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Why would I pay 30 dollars to buy my own frogger machine, when I could use quarters at an arcade and play 120 games for the same price with a full sized frogger arcade game?
A: Because when you're done at the arcade, you have no quarters AND no Frogger. This Frogger is yours forever.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it child proof?
A: Mostly. Obviously, you don't want your kid banging himself in the head with it or dropping it in the bathtub. Remember, even stuffed animals often have small, hard eyes and noses that could become dislodged and get eaten by a little kid. Nothing is 100% safe. On the other hand, the Frogger Desktop Arcade is well assembled and the odds of a small child getting hurt with this product are virtually 0.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Have you seen the frogger episode of the T.V. show Seinfeld?
A: Yes. Doesn't it make you want to buy your very own Frogger Desktop Arcade?
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Any word on if a donkey Kong version will be coming out soon?
A: We're not aware of any plans for a Donkey Kong version, but that would be awesome!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: oh great voice over man!!! Are you married?
A: Sorry to disappoint, but yes.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No
