Paul Westphal Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 In all my collecting I have always had the older brown and black label Dig Dug's. I bought a silver label one the other day, and the program is different than the others. The bonus fruits are all one color and have no detail, and the title screen is different. What happened here? Did they put the prototype in the silver labels? I won't be buying anymore silver's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had both versions on brown carts before. The main cartridge versions are from '82 and '83. The '83 version, which I believe is the one you're describing, is the same as the version for the 5200. I actually prefer the '83 version, even though the graphics are simpler in some ways, because I like the playability. But the '82 version does have some attributes that mimic the arcade better than the '83 version. Edited February 26, 2014 by MrFish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I believe that there are more variations than that! There's an older thread on Dig Dug variants on this forum. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/199828-dig-dug-variants/?hl=%2Bdig+%2Bdug+%2Bvariants&do=findComment&comment=2561503 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other variations just have to do with title-screens. According to Atarimania, there is only one other variation on the title screen for cartridges: Dig Dug Carts.
