Pretty comprehensive... only version I was surprised not to see was the Namco All-Stars "Arrange" version, but besides that nicely compiled comparison.

That's one biiig compilation of Dig Dug goodness! Well done indeed.

I really like the videos, but I think it would be very helpful if you included the years that these different version came out. Not everyone realizes that there are 10+ years between some of these versions. Also, and I know this might be a stretch, but including the cost of the hardware would be very interesting. Viewers could get a much better idea of how expensive those crappy home PCs where at that time. Pay 3 to 10 times more for a far worse gaming experience.

There are actually *two* versions for the Atari 800/XL/XE computers! Although at first glance only the original is shown here (at 13'46"), the second is in fact almost identical to the Atari 5200 port (at 15'11"). That's because the two formats are almost identical internally, and "porting" from one to the other at most required coding for different controllers and tweaking a few memory locations. They *could* simply have adapted the 800 version for the 5200, but I assume they realise it could have been done better and rewrote it... then backported that version to the 800.

The NES version was the best one to me.

If you ever decide to do another remake, I recommend adding the Apple II version as played on an Apple IIgs/emulator: running at native 2.8MHz (rather than the 8-bit II line's 1MHz) corrects the speed to almost match the arcade, and the audio chip handling the slightly sped-up music/effects improves it as well. I'm suggesting that in large part because it's how anyone that grew up with a IIgs would have played it, and the differences are greater than between many of the recent console ports. :)

In looking over the Atari 800/5200 versions - I would say they used a 4 color graphic mode for game play (the first line is a large character mode). So the black background would be one color, the multicolored dirt would be another color, the purple rocks and the purple part of the monsters were a third color and the green in the monsters would be a fourth color. I know, the dirt has 4 colors but when I say color I'm talking about the bit pattern used to put a dot on the screen using one color register. The Atari had the ability to change to value in the color register at different times while drawing the screen hence the four shades of brown. But they couldn't do that with the rocks without also messing up the monsters, hence they are purple. Digdug is white, so I'm assuming it's either on sprite or two sprites put together. When the monsters die, it looks like they used sprites for that animation also.

LOL @ 31:48 when you accidentally smashed yourself. Great job as always. Also just to let you know there is a typo in your description where it says "NEC PC-8801 8:29" It should be 9:29.

Same goes for the DOS version which looks like an “improvement” over the 2600 ver Also shouldn’t DOS be capable of better graphics then this for an arcade game

I would like to add that the NES port of the game is almost identical to the Famicom port of the game and that the SNES, Super Famicom, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, and PS1 all had ports of this game as well.

I think that's them screaming in the NEC version after you pop them.

Moreover, both iCade and Tiny Arcade now have ports of Dig Dug as well, though due to their small stature, getting good screen shots of them would prove rather difficult. They are both still a blast to play, though. Please edit this video and include those ports of the game as well, Gaming History Source. Thank you.

VIC-20 version is so good! Unfortunately. there doesn't seem to be a PAL 50Hz version, so it always plays too fast on European VICs.

Not sure there would be much differences there since Mr Driller released around the time when home console and arcade games were about equal in terms of power, which meant most home conversions were just direct ports of the arcade game with maybe a few tweaks. At most the GB, Wonder Swan Color, and maybe mobile phone versions would be notably different but a majority of Mr Driller ports are roughly the same as the OG arcade version barring some little extras

I wish they’d remake this with today’s standard of graphics! I grew up playing this. My dad and I would get so far . Close to level 100

I tried multiple times on my 5200 version to get all big flowers across both rows to see what happened next but I never had the endurance. 3 plus hours is too much.

nospellsno10 the last one seemed to have some nice originality to it that almost every other version lacked, since they were at best ports of the arcade version. even with better hardware, they chose to keep the graphics like the original. The xbox 360 one however changed it up a bit, and i definitely gotta give props for being the only version except for arrangement that did so. i also like how it added some items as well. The windows version was also notable, since it had a very unique theme and cool original music. everything else however, was at best a port of the arcade version, or a downgrade from it. this kinda makes me wonder what it would be like to see an HD remastered version of dig-dug as well as some other arcade classics, like they did with Burger Time (except maybe not as terrible)
