Justin 5,812 Report post Posted February 20, 2016 I love this game - the arcade ports on the 7800 were so good. I got this cart for Christmas of 1986, along with my 7800 console, and played it to death. I enjoy it more now that I have the eruo-pads to use instead of being stuck with the painline controllers. Me too! I've been playing this week on real hardware using a new 7800 euro controller and it's been pretty good. I had only intended to play one night to get a score on the board but I've become addicted to the game 2 MightyMattD and nosweargamer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had only intended to play one night to get a score on the board but I've become addicted to the game I've been using a Sega Genesis 6 button, also on real hardware. Don't know how much time I will have to play more, but if I get the time and feel ambitious, I might get out my Edladdin Supreme 78, since it has a 4 way mode. 2 MightyMattD and Justin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NSG - you want to leave that thing packed. No risk of leaving it behind that way. And +1000 points to MightyMattD for sharing the term "Painline controllers". 4 Arenafoot, MightyMattD, Justin and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chas10e 806 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 well Imma post mine here cause mine has been considerably improving .... 77,420 using a Sega 6 button Arcade stick ... a 4 way stick would prolly help not sure how scores are submitted @ Twin Galaxies .... think video of screen, and console. controller options might be limited as well to stock pro-line or euro pads ( but not sure ) 5 Justin, MightyMattD, RickR and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"no way" ... was getting killed on first screen ... well I was able to play through all that ... fun little game ... will have to give arcade another try next time I see one ... it was always a quarter waster for me 1 DeLorean reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posts from the first few days were in the 30,000 range. them first few days my score was in the 10k range .... I did play one game of Arcade Dig Dug tonight & was the most enjoyable one I played , even though I only made it to 2'nd screen ... I was gonna play a 2'nd one but they were closing for the night :mac_time: & powered down that section of the arcade they chase you down a little quicker if you doddle ( like I generally do ) ...could be a board-difficulty setting though I suppose 1 The Professor reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kamakazi20012 2,413 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Awesome scores!! I will say this for the 7800 Dig Dug...it packs a harder punch than the 5200 version! I'm trying it in emulation since I don't have it on cartridge (yet) and I keep getting my butt stomped after the 3rd or 4th stage. Fun but damn does the pace pick up quick. 1 Arenafoot reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
