In 1998, the game was featured in the Seinfeld episode "The Frogger".[5] Jerry and George visit a soon-to-be-closed restaurant they frequented as teenagers and discover the Frogger machine still in place, with George's decades-old high score still recorded. He buys the machine and tries to get it home without letting it lose power, which would erase the score with his initials "GLC" (in reality, Frogger does not actually let players enter their initials).
it has a SCORE, but not a high score screen that saves initials.
Though yr second picture contradicts what Wiki had to say above. So you've got me. Is that picture from the original cab, or from a home port?
The wikipedia entry contradicts itself. It claims the score in Seinfeld was impossible, yet near the bottom where it talks about the world record, the score given there beats the Seinfeld score.

Maybe it has to do with the increments points are given in?

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

Is says George's score was thought to be impossible. The game only displays 5 digits but if you kept track of each time it rolled over as long as that doesn't cause an overflow like the kill screen in Pac Man it would be possible.
