negative1 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 i've been working on my 5 man only dig dug scores to get to 1,000,000 again. looking at all the youtube videos out there for maximising points. here's my take, using savestates for the first 12 levels: 1) maxing out, either means killing all enemies with one rock 2) leaving 1 enemy, and getting the fruit 3) leaving 2 enemies, getting the fruit, and killing both with a rock, or one *I don't care about eating all the dirt on the levels, that takes too long =================================================== I can do these pretty consistently, and running through the levels, leaves with a lot less points (but is safer). here's some scores listed Dig Dug Scores ============================= rock number points 1 1000 2 2500 3 4000 4 6000 5 8000 6 10000 7 12000 8 15000 Max Score = Kill most enemies with rocks+fruit if possible (no dirt) Level Fruit Pooka Fygar Score(no fruit) Score(with fruit)

negative1 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 About the JAKKS Dig Dug, played it some more, and it turns out to be interesting. Levels 136-255 - It Includes the 'slow waves'. On level 256, the killscreen, it shows it, and then bypasses it, causing the levels to cycle back to 1 again. Which is their fix for it. Very odd, and it gives you and extra man. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negative1 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Namco Pac-Man 256 plug n play ============================= Dig Dug Glitches --------------------------------- The early Namco versions of Dig Dug have an interesting effect in the higher levels. The monsters start slowing down at the top of the screen, and then slow down completely on the entire level. They look like they're not moving, but they are actually moving very slowly. As you go through each level, they start moving again, faster and faster, finally reaching regular speed. On the Pac-Man 256 plug and play, the program has several counter issues, and level issues. The levels repeat in several areas, and the monster slowdown happens on a different level. Dig dug plays normally through these levels, but there are many level glitches later on: These highlights show the intro, and then from levels 70-100, and then from 154-160, which resets back to 0. levels note =========================================================== 001 - 075 levels normal, monsters constantly speed up 075 - 070 game jumped back from 75 to 70 070 - 083 Normal gameplay ----------------------------------------------------------- 084 - 085 Frygars get stuck and slow down only at top of screen 085 - 080 game jumped back from 85 to 80 080 - 087 Frygars get stuck and slow down only at top of screen ----------------------------------------------------------- All monsters get stuck and slow down on board 088 - 095 095 - 090 jumped back from 95 to 90 090 - 099 100 Flowers at top reset, level counter resets to 0 101 - 105 105 - 100 jumped back from 105 to 100 100 - 115 115 - 110 jumped back from 115 to 110 110 - 125 125 - 120 jumped back from 125 to 120 120 - 135 135 - 130 jumped back from 135 to 130 130 - 133 scored 576k [ingame scoreboard 51] 133 - 145 145 - 140 jumped back from 145 to 140 140 - 155 155 - 150 jumped back from 155 to 150 ------------------- 150 - 159 160 resets to level 0, monsters are still moving slowly, but speeding up ============================================= 45 boards repeated, so actually 205 levels played.

But it throws off your timing, and you have to compensate for the delay when they're travelling through the dirt. Of course, you can lead everybody up to the top to slow them down. I can probably get to a million if I practice hard, but with 5 men total, i basically ran through the boards, and wasn't patient enough to be greedy through all the boards. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
