    Thank you so much for the reminder, Jon. I used to own a JAX handheld emulation game with Dig Dug and I did know this strategy, but that was over 12 years ago and I stupidly sold the JAX about 11 years ago. I bought a Pandora 9 console about 12 months ago with Dig Dug included. I was playing Dig Dug just a couple of days ago and had completely forgotten about this trick.

    I’m a gen x grownup too and I think of this game as an arcade classic, even though I never played it enough to get good at it. You also got me wanting to dig into Haunted House for the 2600, which I never played a kid

    I experienced what was likely a once-in-a-lifetime event in Dig-Dug, playing the Steam version.
    I managed to kill the last monster with a rock, and still get the veggie before the level ended. This was possible because killing the monster triggered an extra life. While the yodel tune played I was still able to move and I just happened to be next to the center of the screen.
    This was so mind-bogglingly rare of an event I felt cheated for not getting a Steam achievement.

    Yeah, I remember learning that in the arcade (Circuit Circus, Guildford Town Centre) and while dig dug wasn't my favourite game, it was still well worth a throw or two and those bonus points built up real fast.

    Similar to another NAMCO title, Pac-Man. The bonus prizes appear after eating 67-72 dots (including energizers). The same thing carried over to Midway's hacked versions, Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man Plus. However, on Jr. Pac-Man, you need to eat 100 dots to trigger the bonus prize.

    I miss digdug, I never been to an actual arcade, as in a dedicated building for arcade cabinets, but I always loved playing the cabinets at bowling alleys, pizza restaurants like round table and mountain Mike, or arcades that are connected to hotels/casinos, I'd just be in the arcade with my cousins, my favorite games were the simpsons game, digdug, and one of those shooter games.

    I love Dig Dug's brilliant music and sound design. I had a meaningful and longer message but stupid RUclips mobile deleted it. I played the arcade version on my friend's computer in the 90s and it played in a window, not in DOS, which is pretty cool of Namco. It seemed pretty faithful. Okay, I have mostly retyped the message so I hope RUclips doesn't delete it again!

    • @lordpsi99
      @lordpsi99 Год назад

      Okay, so I also had this in the original message :that I was sure it was a pretty faithful port because it had the superior arcade sound not the worse sound in home console, non-cd releases. To get the sound I remembered, I had to get the arcade version. I feel like I've bought and searched for this arcade version several times in my life so far, whenever I get a new device and I just want to hear that cool music that only moves forward when you move!
