Dig Dug
SCORE: 80
I am very thankful I had the money to
purchase the Namco Museum Collection 1 on the Evercade system.
Dig Dug
is one of the games that was included on that compilation cartridge.
This was the 8-bit NES version of Dig Dug. Dig Dug is one of those
arcade classics that translated generally well to the 8-bit home
console. There are fifteen different level design layouts in Dig Dug on
the NES. My research also showed there were 256 levels in the arcade
version at least before the game ended.
Dig Dug is one of those classics of video game history. Our little guy
digs around and can inflate the monsters that are trying to get him. We
can also drop rocks on these big baddies. The creatures we play against
in Dig Dug can move through the dirt and just their eyes show. This can
be dangerous since players need some room to hit the enemies and inflate
them. Enemies can also escape screens and leave.
I remember Dig Dug very fondly. It was one of those old fun arcade games
with great sounds. That music has become classic in this day and age.
But ultimately it is something I still hum from time to time. Did you
enjoy the live stream I did of Dig Dug? Or have you caught the video of
this game in our video section? We are continuing to upload our videos
to new tech video websites.
Dig Dug has a simple concept compared to many modern video games. At the
time though Dig Dug added some strategy. We moved around the made
tunnels that worked for us. We went after whichever enemy we felt like
taking on first, second, and so on. We could drop rocks, collect items
for points and more. There are two major concepts in Dig Dug. Those two
concepts are stay alive and inflate the enemies.
I hope there is a new Dig Dug video game real soon. It is fun to go back
into history and play these games again. Dig Dug is a well known classic
video game. Dig Dug came from an era where video game companies were
willing to try new game play ideas. It became a hit because of that and
it is fun to play. Dig Dug makes you rely on your reflexes and
reactions.
