Nice page. Only thing is that Mr. Do trounces all over the little old Dig Dugger.

My 2 cents though...

Ed,

That's great! I think I may have the playing tips and tricks from a
joystick magazine. If you would like to use it I'll scan it for you.

Cheers

If you are referring to the September 1983 issue of JoyStik, which I
found here

http://cvmm.vg-network.com/joysep83.htm

then YES! Please either send me a copy of the scan or make copies on a
copier and I'll give you my snail-mail address.

I would very much like to read this article and post more tips and
tricks on my website.

Go to www.bombjack.org and click on the Joystik link

9 issues online

Nov 82 issue pages 49-52

Sept 83 issue pages 12-17

Oct 83 issue page 39 tells about the trick to explode the last monster at
the same time you squash it. Neat toi do once or twice.

I couldn't help but come across several references to Mr. Do, after
doing my web research on Dig Dug. I'll have to give this game a try.
It sounds interesting.

Mr.Do appeared to be a game that was ripping off Dig Dug as a clone.
BUT, the game ended up having a more diverse environment, with more
things you can do and a wider variety of elements in it (like win a
board by getting all the fruit in it, instead of just killing all the
monsters, although you could win by killing all the monsters). Mr. Do
in the original game, also had a powerball that would bounce around
the ground and kill a monster, instead of a pump. Dig Dug does have
classic, solid play, but Mr. Do did more. Kind of reminds me of Mr.
Do's Castle vs Space Panic. Take solid basic gameplay and expand on
it.
