DESCRIPTION
When porting a cute arcade title to the Atari 2600, some concessions must be made in terms of graphics. With Dig Dug, the dirt lacks texture, the pumping action is not animated, there are no flowers indicating level number, the rocks are square, and so on. However, this is merely nitpicking as this is an excellent port of the 1982 coin-op classic. The controls are responsive, the music and sound effects are faithful to the original and the fun digging, creature-killing, rock-dropping action remains intact. Yet, despite a few expected shortcomings, the graphics are actually quite nice. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
