I'm aware of three Frogger cabinet styes: a cocktail, a normal upright, and a long-coin-door small-marquee upright. To be honest, I don't love any of them, and I'm wondering if there are other variants. Maybe Japan-only, or Euro, or something weird.

There is a slimline. Many thanks to @SCUBA King for making this deal happen and getting it to me.

Yeeaah! That's great!

Should be no problem to find one of those, lol. Are there really only two known to exist?
I read that too, but have no idea if its true or not. I had never seen one outside of those photos on the web.

Lol. That slimline slipped through my fingers, but glad to see it went to a KLOV member! I was wondering where it would turn up. Super cool machine!
I recently picked up this original white Frogger though. I believe these were a factory conversion from another game as there have been two other examples posted on KLOV. I will make a thread about it soon. It's in an interesting plywood cabinet I haven't seen before, that's constructed differently from the long coin door plywood cabinets.

And it's not a factory original, but here's a white Frogger I built years ago out of a Moon Cresta that had been converted to Mr. Do.
These long coin door plywood cabinets are really well built, and much nicer than the MDF ones. They use the same size marquee and everything as the MDF cabinets though, so don't worry, the artwork is interchangeable.
Anyway, they make a really nice and obtainable white Frogger if you find one of these cabinets!

Seems like a green upright cabinet might have been a nice look for Frogger

Here is a green custom one on YouTube from 15 years ago:
I don't mind the dedicated Gremlin cabinet. However, I don't find the Slimline design appealing at all. So, it's Zacharia for the win!

The Zacharia cabinets are pretty bonkers!
Love that sideart.
That's some great Euro stuff! Definitely more interesting to me than the normal upright. Why does it look so... Italian?
Are there really no ball-tops on the joysticks? I looked at several photos, and they all look like that.

Very apropos! Thank you!

I know i"ve seen those same small silver chrome joysticks on a couple other of the Zaccaria titles (Scramble and Super Cobra if I remember right)
