Mr. Dug?
melarky:
Me and my wife have been having Mr. Do competitions in our house lately (I'm the current high score holder, but that can change at any time). I'm a complete nerd and looked up some game play video on youtube a while ago, I can't believe how incredible the video was (the guy had some great techniques that would be good to copy):
I also found a video on how to get 255 lives (only on certain versions of the arcade, haven't tried it, but you may want to play around with it):

I agree, I'm actually getting into it.
But the controls don't seem as responsive as I'd like- specifically when I have a monster behind Mr. Do, and I need to whip around and throw the power ball.
Anyway, it's a challenging game to get the max points, so it's definitely fun.
I am curious if Do! or Dug came out first... :burgerking:

Just guessing, but I think Dig Dug came out first. KLOV lists its release date in the US as 1982, and since it's a Namco game, there was always a slight delay in getting them in the US. Universal (who released Mr. Do) was based in the US, so it would have shown up in the US when it was released.
It really doesn't matter though. They were released within months of each other, so they were in development at the same time.

Wow that guy is great at Mr. Do! It looks like you can kind of trap the baddies under the apple if you push it out a little bit over the edge and then wait until there are a lot of them and rack up the points. I'm going to try this tonight!

This game has so much depth to it. I think its complexity is what kept me from playing it much as a kid. There's a lot to do: dig, throw ball, eat cherries OR kill monsters, push apples, dig under them to make em fall, go for the prize in the middle or not... etc.
The enemies do a lot too for a game of that era: chase, dig, eat apples, even push apples! Impressive for that era.
