| DIG DUG 1983, ATARI |
 
Dig Dug was an arcade game developed by Namco in 1982, and later ported to multiple platforms including the Atari VCS, Famicom/NES, and various personal computers.
In Dig Dug you play a little guy (Dig Dug) with an air pump who runs around the screen blowing up enemies (Frygars, Pookas) with said air-pump and/or squashing them by digging out under bricks strategically. The game is another high-score farm game (like most 2600 and arcade games of that time) and seemingly has no end. Dig Dug has become an arcade classic, and it's 2600 port, while not super popular, is vastly underrated. It's one of the games I feel that really shows what an excellent 2600 Arcade port was like towards the later part of the system's lifespan.My Experiences Videos Walkthroughs/Manuals/Reviews |
