I've always liked Dig Dug, tho I'm not too good at it. I keep trying to use the rocks for big points and end up crushed myself. I'll be satisfied if I can break the default high.

[Northcoastgamer]

1,024,420 (Intermediate). The score doesn't roll, but after 99 rounds round 100 is represented by a 0 (Round 0), then Round 1 again. The bonus veggies also reset starting at carrot again.

Wow - awesome score ?.  Congrats ?

[zyzzle]

Spectacular score. My guess is the score rolls at 16,777,216 and there's a killscreen at round 256.

[DuggerVideoGames]

Intermediate:  617,820 pts.  Too many avoidable deaths where I mistimed my turns.

This is about the best I'm going to be able to do.  Using a stock CV controller and my hands are aching!!!!

I can relate to that. I started Dig Dug Wednesday and went at it pretty good up until yesterday. I'm using a stock controller as well playing War Games. It's a great controller for various games, but after awhile can take its toll on the hands. I was taking some breaks in between Dig Dug games.

Really not my cup of tea but I also didn’t give it enough time this week.
