Frogger
Original System: Atari 400/800
The Atari 5200 port of Frogger is same as the original Atari
400/800 version with the exception of the controls. As the
5200's non-centering analog stick can make some games more
difficult to play (such as Frogger), Parker Brothers decided to
add the option of using the keypad to move Frogger. If the
keypad mode is chosen, by pressing 0, the player uses the 2, 4, 6,
and 8 keys to move Frogger in each of the four cardinal
directions. This actually works better than you'd think, but
having to rapidly press the spongy keypad buttons to scoot Frogger
along can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. The Atari
400/800 version has no such option.
