Squad Challenge - Dig Dug (Atari 7800)


Justin

Recommended Posts

Well...my first couple of games were in the 40-50 thousand point range.  Last night I improved my skills a little.  I guess all those years of playing first-person 3D shooting games on a 386 paid off after all.

69,900!  That's the best score I've ever made in Dig Dug, and this was my first time playing the 7800 port of Dig Dug.  In emulation of course.  It doesn't take long for the game to speed everything up.  I'll have to try again later.

I cracked in a few games but my best was around 56,000. I expect Storm Surge to destroy everyone with a score in tbe seven figures at least!! ;)

 

It's not too late to submit a screenshot if you'd like to be included in the Newsbreak video  ^_^

Thanks Justin!  I must have played 20 more games, at least, after submitting this score, and failed to break 200,000 again.  It must have just been a good day for Dig Dug.  Stargate next - woo hoo!

Dig Dug is hard. I'm glad you had fun! That's what this is all about  :thumb:
