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.

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.

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. Smiley

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

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 agree completely.

Okay so I guess it's in the eye of the beholder like most things. 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.

Its a fun game. Id rather have a Mr. Do as those seem to be super hard to find.

I don't think Mr.Do! is uncommon. And don't hate on it it's a great game!

Mr Do is the bomb! I love it...  way more advanced then Dig Dug ! 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
