Any Dig Dug masters out there, now WITH PATTERNS!!!!!
Lutus:
After the help obtained from the "calling all donkey kong masters" topic I thought I would ask for a little help in my 2nd favorite title Dig Dug.
I am NOWHERE near as good at dig dug as donkey kong but I am ready to tackle it.
I cannot find anywhere on the net where someone has documented common patterns for Dig Dug.
I DO know all the basics of loopy-loop digging then making a long tunnel underneath a rock and trying to smash them all at once. I also know how all the points work with different dirt levels and pumping from the sides vs the top.
I would just like some direction for general patterns that work, or quirky point pressing techniques.
Thanks! :cheers:
My did dug was down for a week. I rebuilt the ARII/01 and the PCB fingerboard/ repinned edge connector and played 1 game before bed.
Score = 62,000

I’m not a master but I do have all the XBLA achievements. :blah:
If there is a pattern I sure haven’t noticed it. I guess my only tip would be that if you keep two of the enemies alive you can dig out the entire level. The dig points add up quick. This technique gets harder as the levels go on.

Each level has it's own pattern but for the life of me I can't remember that far back when I used to play this game at the local arcade. You were able to drop both rocks to get the fruit to appear and easily clear level after level
Good luck!

The dirt eating is ok, but not really necessary if you can't reach the kill screen.
I believe there are common patterns, more general, not specific like pacman. For example, on the first screen I usually walk to the right and make a giant clockwise circle by going down the right side of the screen, along the bottom to the left and making a long tunnel up to the rock on the left to get all the baddies in one drop.
More along those lines.
Donkey_Kong:
Could you elaborate on what you mean by the difference of pumping the enemies from the sides vs the top & bottom?
Let's see, thinking back...pumping a fygar from top or bottom you have no chance of being torched. Are points the only difference?
