Gotta say, that Atari 2600 version is pretty darn impressive considering the extreme limitations of the hardware. Never even heard of a "Sord" or a "Gakken Tabletop" before.
One of my favorite 2600 games right behind Dragon Stomper and Superman.
@@thesparxeffect9734 Dragon Stomper! Regarded as one of, if not THE, very first RPGs! The first time I finished that game I flew through the house screaming "I made it!" to everyone. It was 3am.
@@thesparxeffect9734 I had a friend that had studied the 2600 Superman (and mapped it out) so much that he figured out how to complete the game in less than 2 minutes. Not much fun in that but impressive nonetheless.
It is pretty impressive.
Kinda like the bootleg Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country NES games
I got the Gakken Tabletop, and *> I
7:41 Sounds like a Game and Watch.
This one hurt me
10:35 this is game & watch
@@Dorobek999 nop
@@ilikeminecraft1232 Why not?
Why the sprites have a black square?
I'm so used to the Atari 5200 versions of games being identical to the ones for Atari's 8-bit computers that I wasn't at all prepared for how different their two versions of Dig Dug were. 😳
@@AussieArcade Came here to say this; the version I have on my 800 is similar to what was shown, but the music is different and the color palette closer to the arcade.
It's gotta be about the first game where I have seen major differences between the two versions!
@@jday9075 Space Invaders is huge as well. 8 bit version was my favorite
Ok
@@SegaChannelHappyPride the 1982 and 2005 Arrangement versions of DigDug are both the best. Which versions you wanna prefer?
Dig dug is better than fortnite
Quite a odd pair of games to compare

TRUUUUE
That's a lotta versions!!
It was a fairly big hit for Namco and one of the most beloved titles from the 1980-83 "golden age" of arcade games, so it was naturally a candidate for being ported to multiple platforms. I'm surprised it didn't get a ZX Spectrum port, but perhaps it didn't do as well in British arcades as in Japanese and North American arcades-or maybe someone made a clone that beat Atari and Namco to the punch.
Oh buddy, you should of seen the pacman comparison. It was a marathon even with 20 - 30 seconds of footage for each of them.
@@Sinistar1983 Yeah, pacman is so popular that it's ported to most of the gaming stuff.
@@Sinistar1983 Oh buddy, you should’ve seen the Prince of Persia Comparison, it’s A around the world marathon. With it being longer!

Yeah me too.
Oooh I thought you said *virgins*
I love Dig Dug music. It makes me feel happy :D
the apple 2 music does not make me feel happy
we sing it from time to time at home as a joke
@@Tretheperson It makes me feel scared, like a thousand flying demons are about to horribly kill my entire neighborhood
The music stops when you stop moving though.
21:27 (Arcade arrangement) was also on the namco museum on the ps2 loved that version easily my favorite
I should try it rn I am trying lots of namco games today and i have that namco museum.
It's really gone through a lot of changes, I'm honestly surprised at how many versions of dig dug there are.
I count 15.
ah Dig Dug.
One of the Games i like to Play, sometimes.
u are in other video
6:57 16-Bit Music on a 8-bit System?!
That system, the NEC PC-8001mkII SR has a Yamaha YM2203 sound chip, which uses FM synthesis just like the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. That is why it has such a similar sound.
It's not that "8 bit" or "16 bit" music are a thing, what defines the quality of the sound, is the sound chip, just as Will says, that system has a Yamaha YM2203
Yes, this one sound so good!
And PC-8001mkII SR too!
Say that to the Japan only version of the SEGA Mark III/Master System, the version 2.1.
Why did DigDug lose his pump?
Because DeviantArt stole it.
Context: look it up
Edit: please do not look it up
It is his... p...nis.
Good one Patrick.
Oh god

Love me some Dig Dug. Still got my original copy of the Atari 2600 version.
Agreed. I love Dig Dug! Mainly the arcade version. But I also like the arrangement version.
@Skyler Messier Cool! I play that version of the game on an emulator though.
@@Its_PacFan me too
Nice job with this video! Interesting in the Game Boy “New Mode” Dig Dug is trying to get keys to go to the next level while being swarmed by Pooka and Fygar galore. I remember the Apple II fondly like some of our UK friends remember the ZX Spectrum. Good times.
I'm loving these videos. Just found them, so ... keep 'em up! :-)
Although Fygar can get a bit annoying with the constant fire breathing, he still finds a place in my heart. Love you, Fygar.
Fygar's legacies never forgotten.

This is amazing, the day I found your channel I fell in love with your videos. Man Apple II gave me an ear surgery. My favorite one is the NES version of Dig Dug.To be honest I only knew the nes version but when I saw the MSX version it was very smooth I liked it.
Same for nes!
Even though the Atari 2600 Version Sucks!

14:00 SEIZURE/HEADACHE WARNING
Dig Dug is one of my favorite arcade games
There is actually one version missing that was featured in the PC collection Namco All-Stars (alongside Pac-Man). It features both a Classic and Remake mode, the latter upgrading the graphics to look like the DS game "Digging Strike" - which actually included Round 1 as a tutorial.
I managed to find it on BigFish games ages ago, but unsure of what other platforms it's available for nowadays.
DigDug was my favorite arcade game, I had a little controller that you could plug into the TV man was that fun to play with
The music on some of these versions is a veritable knife/fork on ceramic symphony to the ears.
The apple 2 game sounds like someone was having a seizure and a stroke simultaneously, while also trying to summon satan
That's a really good assortment. Especially liked seeing the Japanese computer ports. I would like to try those. What emulator are those running under?
DIG DUG
The Casio PV-1000 split my eardrums in half
Don't be silly
@@ilikeminecraft1232 I think they are exaggerating 🤦♀️
PC 88 version actually made my ear bleed
C64 version was great, if a bit slow and squashed to a landscape ratio.
C64 Dig Dug is an NTSC game and there is no PAL optimised version (eventho it works on PAL machines, but squashed and slowed as a result). It looks and plays fine at 60Hz. All C64 emulators default to PAL for some reason, so the footage is often altered when it comes to games made for the American units.
@@amerigocosta7452 And an annoying few have no option to switch to NTSC 😶
the nec-pc-8801 looks funnier and cringe
Keep up the good work retrosutra!
Awesome work!
Still a big fan of the MSX version for nostalgic reasons. 40 years after its release the arcade version still holds up for exciting high score attempts along friends.
MSX and NES and 1982 originals are still better.
for me it's the best videogame ever created, is the perfect synthesis of gameplay, graphics and music. with my brother and my dad we devoured it on the commodore 64
In 80's, maybe, but the best game for me is
Super smash bros ultimate, and pooka is a spirit in this game and in the pacman up taunt
@@livretro A game having more stuff in it doesn't make it better. Simple can be good too.
Loved that game, such a classic ^^
It was awesome when they actually included Taizou in Namco X Capcom ^^
Taizo Hori legacies never gonna be forgotten.
I didn't know the old version of Dig Dug. The retro feeling brings out the times and is the most cute. 😊
21:39 This needs to be a SNES port
I remember having the Windows or DOS version as part of some Namco Collection and I played it a lot. It was my favorite game in it.
Same. The collection I had for Windows was Microsoft Return of Arcade, which had Dig Dug, Galaxian, Pac-Man, and Pole Position. And there was an updated anniversary version of that collection that had Ms. Pac-Man too but I had the original version of the collection.
@@ThunderDragonRandy Yes, I think I had that one! The original without the Ms. Pac-Man.
My favorite video you made
Thank you for making the versions comparison of “Dig Dug”.
Can you make the versions comparisons of these?:
“Ms. Pac-Man”
“Popeye (1982)”
Exidy’s “Mouse Trap”
“Frogger”
“Q*bert”
“Dragon’s Lair”
“Space Ace”
I'm happy because one of the items on that list contains the word "Dragon".
You need to look at the Gameboy Color port for Dragon's Lair!
@@pixelprime5908 I already know about this and looked at this.
My first arcade favorite when I was quite little.
I swear I remember playing a port of Dig Dug on MS DOS when I was about 6 years old
I suppose is the PC Booter version, actually the game was released in a self bootable disc with DOS embedded in it. Thank you for watching!
@Nic ZeroNineEightOneThreeTwoThree no, it's called PC DOS
Man how solid were the NES and Gameboy given the eras in which they were released!
My mom put me on to dig dug back on the N64. We played the hell out this. One of the few games she was better than me at
DigDug in the Arcade and PSP are simply amazing.
Great comparison/contrast video! I own a copy of the Atari 7800 port, and can emulate both the Atari VCS/2600 port, and the ColecoVision port. Including a recommendation, and a link to your video on my channel's video reviewing the Atari 7800 port.
I remember playing this on namco museum for the n64 (also on a ps4!)
the game that probably sparked a lot of fetishes
It Wasn't His Fault
It was pretty much Charlie and the chocolate factory that’s responsible pretty much and I’ll let you guess why
I played a lot of the arcade and gameboy versions. Didnt realize there was so many
Amazing
So many Systems i wasn't aware that they even existed... also insane that there so many Ports... The first Time i've played Dig Dug was on the GBA this Year, bought a couple of Games and it was inbetween :>....
retrosutra, quick question, what editor do you use to make the videos?
And what emulator(s) do you use?
5:23 kind of looks like he’s digging through a chocolate cake
Is how the character is fat
Who wants this guy on Smash? I do. Who Else?

I'm Japanese, but I had the msx version.
When I see various things up to here, I can even feel the excitement.
Commodore max machine is where?
also there is a repeat in the nec pc 8001 mk2 sr is there twice
What a wonderful game, but the way of dealing with enemies is actually brutal if you put any thought into it...
Well, almost every game has a brutal way of killing enemies when you think of it
@@epicgamer_7985 ... Come to think of it...
@Flyin' Steve Hmm... If I think about it I have to say; You are right, Sir!
hay is that the android soundfont you're using in the j2me footage?
The arcade and the Arrangement versions are my favorites even though I dont get far without a cheat
the TI-99 is my favorite version!
I love Dig Dug Arrangement.
HOLY CRAP THE NEC PC-8801
the first dig dug i played was for the apple ][ back in the late 80s it was hard but fun!!! My local arcade has the original. The nes version was good too.
Muito bom😁
DigDug in Arcade 1982 Original, NES from 1985 and DigDug Arrangement all considered to be the best ports for DigDug.
So what's the best version?
I think arcade, x68000 and PlayStation(looks similar), msx looks as having some extra features and game boy have a nice version.
Me: I want Dig Dug
Mom: We have Dig Dug at home
Dig Dug at home: 10:34
That's funny 😂
The PSP having different arrangements _(not just for Dig-Dig)_ than the PS2 was ... interesting.
Why do I dig the M5's aesthetics so much?
Digging the Dug
there was also a version on mobile that was just like the PSP version but touch controls. (as a kid I would always just play the demo, it was not a standalone app and i don't remember what it was or if it's still up. Definitely compatible with iPhone 3GS, as that's what I played it on when I was little.)
I played a version of Dig Dug on a Stranger Things dedicated handheld console, it mostly tried to be like the original arcade game even though it was very low resolution.
The version I like best is the NEC PC-8001mkll version. I love the sounds. The only cost is the flickering sprites.
There’s also a Sharp Mz-1500 version of Dig Dug
24:11 this used to be on Apple too called Dig Dug remix. Man I miss it, they deleted it from the App Store.
So lot of 8-biters were in 80s, just wow :)
Dig dug in my opinion is very underrated and massively underserved in terms of the qualities of the remasters remakes and ports. nothing has beat the original arcade version which is a damn shame
Yeah, It's like if they want to stay away from Dig Dug.
I Wonder why.
I remember being 3 and playing Dig dug on a mortorla flip phone lol
I remember doing this with 2 moto's too. not flip, just 2010s models. remember playing the arcade, nes, (irl and with phone) gba, and arcade arrangement (irl).
By all rights, the Atari 5200 version can also run on Atari 8-bit computers as it's just a stripped down Atari 400.
Dig dug more like damn dug because that's a lot of versions..!
Namco sure has a habit of porting the MSX versions to NES
I like the original Dig Dug because that looked a lot cooler than other versions
2:04 my favorite part
The sound on the Apple to make me want to have a hernia
7:35 Lol, CHARACTOR
Sad that there is no Amstrad CPC or Zx spectrum port :(
Yea they usally port into those system
I think that (In my opinion) that it a good choice not to port Dig Dug to those two computers, as they usually have pretty slow and horrible ports.
@@Its_PacFanHowever, with pro programming, it can run smooth as butter.
I had this game in Atari XE, so, that's my favorite version
Never knew these existed
Atari 5200's Dig Dug gives me apocalypse vibes.
Eu amo Atari 2600❤
every dig dug version
0:16 the classic we all know and love
0:49 for a first port its pretty good
1:33 for the Atari its also pretty good
2:12 the music doesn't play right also the sprites look copied from Atari 2600's version
3:07 no words just WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
3:55 atleast it has the arcade sprites
4:35 my fav in my opinion
5:15 uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
5:51 looks odd
6:49 the arcade version but with better sprites
7:31 Casio PV 1000 but shitty
8:11 NEC PC 8001 but a bit slower
9:06 did you even try?
9:47 dig dug is so slow the theme song plays before you can even start controlling taizo
10:35 good for the device its on
11:05 WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
12:01 idk why but it kinda looks like the nes version
13:42 where's the freaking theme song
14:24 I love this version
15:03 Casio PV 1000 but with better music
15:41 another Atari great
16:16 idk why but I also like this one
16:48 nes but black and white
17:25 this isn't dig dug its a masterpiece
18:25 theme song is high pitched I don't know why
19:14 the arcade version but the sprites look a bit off
19:55 higher pitched theme song now
20:42 the only way people could play original dig dug in 1996
21:27 hey. Atleast there's multiplayer
22:04 just the arcade version with yet again high pitched theme song
22:42 someone took the nes version and shrunk the sprites in ms paint
23:24 where's the theme song
24:10 my second favorite
24:56 the previous one again
This comment took way too long
DIG DUG
i'm thinking about someone making a version of dig dug on the amstrad pc
Left out a PC version called 'Dig-Dug Deeper'.
The concept for this game is incredibly gruesome if you think about it.
Haha deviantart go *brrrrrrrrr*
I can definitely see why the ColecoVision version was not released. That is horrible, the ColecoVision is capable of much better.
Which version did you think was the funniest? Atari 5200 was one of them
oops I meant Atari 2600.
Psp
Sharp X68000 version is really impressive considering it's a port and not emulated like the Windows and PlayStation versions.
Play it on 0.75 and it's now calm music
The music of the NEC PC-8801 makes me want to die...(edit, so does the Texas instruments one and the Apple II, EDIT 2, as well as the sharp x1
Sounds like a Game & Watch.
Great Job! How About Mappy?
Sjećam se ovog s komodorca ;-)
Dig Dug Deeper (2001, PC - CD-ROM)
Dig Dug - Digging Strike (2005, Nintendo DS)
I like dig dug arrangement
Why do Atari versions have strange, different music?
gotta say the arcade is my favorite
