Scramble & Frogger

Original Scramble/Frogger hardware in an FPGA

Scramble was released in 1981 and was the first arcade game I played. It was the worlds first multi-level shoot-em-up and a genuine classic. It's also damn hard! Frogger was released about the same time and the hardware has only minor differences to Scramble.
