I am doing a bit of research on behalf of one of the writers for Retrogaming Times Monthly (the best free retro gaming magazine).
What I am trying to find out is was there two versions of Frogger released for the Vic 20?
I have the Parker Bros cart, but was there also a version put out by Sierra on disk or tape?
I would appreciate any input.
2 versions of Frogger???

Technically, there are LOTS of Frogger clones for the Vic20
Licensed versions however are probably limited to what you say: the Parker Bros version and the Sierra one. Certainly the license expired and Sierra produced a C64 version. I think I've seen a Vic20 version about but I can check here at home.

Lie with passion and be forever damned...
On Zimmers, I found a total of three games named Frogger (not to mention the clones under other names). Neither refers to Sierra though.

Unknown author. Nice graphics, but a bit simple looking.

By D. Etherington, (c) 1982 Anirog Computers (later Anirog Software?). Notice that the second part needs to be saved exactly as "FROG R1" in order to load it.

I suppose you're doing another of these cross-system comparisons, and want the official port for each computer, not the best looking, most playable or amazing clone?
