About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes.

"It's just like the arcade."

[@tyrannozilla]

George Costanza's favorite game.

[@lolirocket]

"Very lifelike"

[@Zach014G]

very ribbiting

[@McDuders]

For a frog, it is

[@erichandley5176]

my son Jason made a frogger movie he made 3 of them hollywood should've made it a long time ago he was thinking about making a 4th one but he's too old for it he was young when he made them

[@darniusstudios5139]

What were the plots of these frogger films?

[@ehonda965]

Was cutting edge at the time.

[@ehonda965]

As well as addictive level fun.

[@Musicradio77Network]

Sega’s arcade game, now a home video game. From Hasbro, the Ones to Beat.

[@KenMasters.]

And now Konami has full rights to Frogger.

[@CartoonPhreak]

@@KenMasters.
Yep
I have the PlayStation release of Frogger which is on a CD

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I've played Frogger. If the title protagonist wasn't a frog and if it were an insect, the game wouldn't be called Frogger, it would be called Bugger.

[@sa3270]

The arcade version had copyrighted children's music from Japan in it that couldn't be used in any home version.

[@ShinSeikiEvan]

Does anybody have the Frogger II: Threedeep commerical? I remember the frog saying "THREEEEDEEEP!" in a funny way.

[@mikedski9698]

SEGA AND KONAMI'S FROGGER!
The Arcade Hit For Your Atari 2600 AND 5200!
From Parker Brothers The Ones To Beat!

[@zacharycardon2353]

Sheesh! They never mentioned what console it's for. People must have been confused if they tried cramming that square down a circle hole. No wonder the 83 game crash was a hot mess!

[@Tubewings]

They did at 0:23.

[@zacharycardon2353]

@@Tubewings Silly me for not reading the fine print.😅

Does he sleep on that chair?

[@theanimatortwothousandten]

RIBBITING

[@TeleKamptiA]

He says ribbit every 4 seconds

[@Jac2Mac]

Does anyone know what studio animated this commercial?

[@kascnef]

Who animated it

[@blastoffanimations]

Pretty Cure Workship what?

[@remiandbard786]

His voice is a little creepy.

[@karam866]

Death note 💀

[@kizzume]

Oh man, that version of the game was so bad. The Supercharger version was actually halfway decent.
I think the worst arcade conversion to the Atari 2600 was Donkey Kong.

[@SailorMaxie]

By 2600 port standards this one actually looks pretty good imho
