Wow. Dig Dug. Didn't they remake this game like 8 hundred billion times?

Since I played this game for a long time for my NES,I would like to correct some mistakes in the review:

"You have a water pump in your hand to defend yourself against the monsters, but it’s not really useful (not only does it not kill them..."

It DOES kill them.You have to hold the pump button till they pop.

"Just remember, you don’t get to kill the dragon looking one. He’s a sort of a boss who escapes from one level to the next..."

Any monster will try to escape after some time.+You can kill the dragon with pump.I haven't checked if you can squish him,but it was possible in the NES version.


"The only way to get a monster is to stand under a rock ..."
See the above.

I hope anybody wont take this personal( :bye: Seb)
:)

Whats with the ugly cga colors?
I remember this game much prettier than this.
Only on pc sound?

If you like this game then you like Digger also :P

Why should I take it personally? I made mistakes you corrected them - now the visitors get to read the correct information. I use to play the game long long ago, but when I played it no, there were things I couldn't do anymore. I asumed they were not possible in this version (I know - kindda arogant of me - if I couldn't do it in a couple of tries, then it's not doable... <_< ).

could it be that you are talking about the colourful C64 version?

I love the game! Nice review and update Sebatianos (I am sooo happy he didn't really leave us ... :D

Now that you mention it ..... you might be right.

Yes, game was more than fun on C64. I played it many times and it is definately above average game. This is a MUST TRY for every platform lovers.

Game is originaly created for arcade machines, but it was transfered onto every single computer or console there is.

I don't know how Seb missed killing the monsters. Well, mistakes has already been corrected. Only question is: should Seb change his review a little bit.

ccccc, Seb, pa zar nisi expert za ovakve igre :)))

Even for the c64 this was an old game, and quite a nice game i considered it. A little of pacman and a little of boulderdash and a little of wizard of WOR.

Killing the bad guys was possible for sure, with some nice tricks like making a long line going up to the stone so you could kill multiple guys chasing you with the stone, can remeber i did quite some levels in a row.

The cga version looks real crappy indeed.

Haha! Digger was one of the first games I was ever exposed to. I used to freak out when he died and the little tombstone came up.

The theme song rules!

"dig Dug" is all about fun! if you love too play that game in an mood that you love the classics =p

i remember playing this in these brainwashing places called "video game arcades" :max:

Dig Dug is one of my favorite games of all time. Although this CGA version of it does look like crap.

I remember that I played this one (DIG DUG) in the late 1980s on an ATARI 2600 and that enjoyed it very much.

I still own the cartridge too... :-)

At least. The most recent remake I was aware of was "Dig Dig Deeper", and kept pretty faithful to the original while adding some nice elements, as well as being easy enough for my youngest brother to almost finish completely.

I don't understand the webmasters' knocking of this game?

We had over 1200 games out in amusement centres across Central & Northern Ontario (Canada) in the 80's and 90's. Dig Dug was a slightly above average earner of which we had 9 in the end. It, like Ms Pacman and others were considered "chic games", very popular with females. Our most popular version was cocktail table models.
