Title: Is Dig Dug really that bad? Post by: jasonsmith on June 13, 2014, 10:33:57 pm I've been told the game really "sucks", can it be that bad? I've enjoyed playing it on mame for little bits at a time but haven't really dug deeply into it.
Title: Re: Post by: Tighe on June 13, 2014, 10:44:52 pm It is very repetitive with little depth. Mr. Do! had much more depth in terms of scoring etc. I am a namco Fanboi, but in this case I am not.
Loved it as a kid though. Title: Re: Is Dig Dug really that bad? Post by: John's Arcade on June 13, 2014, 11:20:25 pm Dig Dug is great. I love it. It is very repetitive though. I'd get a cabaret if it popped up. It's better than Mr. do. :)
Title: Re: Is Dig Dug really that bad? Post by: lordkahless214 on June 14, 2014, 01:24:21 am I like it a lot, one of my favorite games. Played the heck out of it as a kid, and still want an upright.
sure it's repetitive but so are many early 80's games. and I too like DD better than Mr Do Title: Re: Re: Re: Is Dig Dug really that bad?

It's better than Mr. do. :) You obviously haven't played Do enough to know all the rules. It is way deeper of a game. If you look at the surface it looks like a copy but it isn't.

I won't turn down a Mr. Do either then if I ever come across one. I do like the simplicity factor of DD, sometimes that adds to play-ability when you don't want to be too engaged.

Title: Re: Is Dig Dug really that bad? Post by: Space Avenger on June 19, 2014, 10:29:02 pm I don't think Mr.Do! is uncommon. And don't hate on it it's a great game!

It was and still is one of my favorites, as a kid I loved the idea of finding the diamond for a free credit... today currently I'm limited to playing in mame until I can find one for sale locally
