Dig Dug is an action game that was initially released in the Arcade in 1982.
+ Quickly diagnosing layouts and planning a method of attack during the pre-stage jingle is both entertaining and stressful.
+ Craftily, you earn more points by defeating foes lower down the screen, and luring them into falling rocks is fiendishly fun.
+ Excellent graphical overhaul compared to the Atari 5200 version (1983) with less flicker and more detailed sprites.
- Controls aren't tight enough and many times you'll lose a life due to overshooting your intended target by a small amount.
- Pressing the button to activate your pump isn't always responsive and rapid fire attempts feel like hard work.
- While the Atari 5200 port offered 12 different skill levels to begin your game, this version only offers a meagre two.
