Goochman Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah - never thought that deeper would equal more points since its not really a disadvantage to go to the bottom of the screen vs the top Always know about the horizontal on the Fygar. Ive played this to death and never paid attention - I came to the conclusion that it was random and possibly tied to the speed (ie, when the music starts playing faster ) I need to take another run at the Atari 8bit high score on Twin Galaxies again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Can I play the 5200 version ported to the Atari 800? I would love to play this, have a 5200, but don't have Dig Dug.. at least I don't think I do. What's the unspoken rule? You can play the game on a 5200 or emulated, but not a similar version on another system, like Atari 800 Dig Dug, which is basically the same except for the controller codes, which when it comes to the 5200 the controller seems to be most of the challenge.

Come on, doctorclu, get a clu. I'm sure you could snag a cart of DigDug for a buck or something. We're not talkin' a rare commodity here! As for the "rules," I have no idea. I use a Wico on my 5200.

Atari5200 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 the game must either be played on an actual 5200 or 5200 emu. Any controller is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eegt97 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 67610 is my top score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Got my 5200 running and learned I did in fact have a Dig Dug cartridge. (I don't actively collect the 5200...) So the score is... 62,730 (once my hands get a rest I might try it again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxd Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 35,320 You'd think after playing this game ever since it first came out I'd post a more respectable score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 - about the only game I could possibly dominate on - maybe Buried Bucks also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Last night I made it really far in Dig Dug Started from Level 1 too... 142,910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Last night I made it really far in Dig Dug Started from Level 1 too... 142,910 That's pretty good. I'm certain we'll be playing Dig Dug in the HSC some time in the future. The 5200 HSC can always use more competition so it would be great if you'd decide to join in. Especially since this Monday will mark a brand new season and everyone starts off at on a level playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard Lushgirl! What other 5200 games do you have? If you don't have many yet, I would suggest the 128-in-1 USB cart, a bit pricey, but you can try out all the roms that Atariage so generously provides here on Atariage for the 5200: http://www.atarimax.com/usb5200/documentation/ And then pick more of the actual games at your leisure. I have about 20 actual cartridges. As for the 128 in 1 cartridge, I've TRIED to find enough rom images to fill it up, but haven't been able to yet.

GameGirl420 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Oh gawd I heard it even talks!!!! lol Sweeet! Never had that game.... I finally figured out how to play Star Raiders last night, wow after 20 years of hearing about that game I finally figure it out lol. The complexity of it is just so cool, wayyy better than most NES games I have.... my rank last night was Galactic Cook lol. I finally fixed my controller last night too, tried Dig Dug right after and my fire buttons work so much faster now. Makes me think I got a score of 142,910 even tho I used a broken controller....

Yep, it talks though Otto is more a pain then what the 2600 version is. Drats for the controllers i find myself take them apart and clean them every year. Dig Dug is great for the 5200 thas pretty darn good for a broken controller. Hope to see you in this season High Score Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 It was such a novelty that Otto talks, I used to wonder why the option was present to turn off the voice. Then in the recent HSC for Berzerk, as I played and re-played, I found that I no longer wanted to wait until the voice was done before moving to the next screen. So its nice to have both options sometimes. Also, thankfully in Berkerk your man stops moving as soon as you press the button - hence a simple way to prevent sliding into an electrified wall with the 5200 non-centering sticks!
