Dear AYCA, As I'm sure you're conscious, Frogger is one of the best arcade games of all time. RecentlyI picked up a coin operated Frogger game from a pizza joint and also would love to move the game. Because you provide free delivery and let your clients change their matches each month, I knew you would be an expert on arcade game (https://www.childwelfaresocietykenya.org) logistics. The issue is that I currently have the high score and do not want to unplug it. Is there a way to move the match without sacrificing my standing as the best toad of all time? Sincerely, George C. from New York
Dear George,
Believe it or not, this very question led to the development of the pop-up arcade. The fantastic news is you can actually move a match together with the energy on. You merely need a self contained way to power it. So as to do this, you're going to want a car battery, a battery charger and a transformer to convert your power to 110 v a/c.
When we tried this, we were able to run Frogger for approximately 6 hours before the match started to reset on usso you could probably get it around city. When we hooked up a second game to our apparatus at precisely the same time, it merely made it 45 minutes prior to crashing, so the amount of ampage drawn will increase or decrease the outcome dramatically.
To be able to run our outdoor popup arcade with 7 matches in it, we use a mix of digital arcades and non-electronic ones, powered by a generator. The generator won't play nice with each monitor, so it limits which games could be included. Because of our large selection, we've managed to put together an wonderful compilation of titles.
The bad news is that there doesn't seem to be a way of connecting itself contained power unit like the one that we created to a game that's currently electrified without interrupting the current. It would be interesting to hear from those with an electric background on ideas, but without being able to move from 1 power source to a different, I don't think it's going to be possible to store your score.
