He made it look easy! And he quit, he could have kept going but sanity won over!

I felt like I was rolling in the dirt with one arm tied behind my back, trying to make Dig Dug improvements...
very tough! Surprised by some of these high quality scores.

Thanks for the tips Cafeman / sdamon.... just what I needed. Prior to your tips my old strategy was only able to get me 150k with most scores in the 75-100k range. So I started using the tips along with a fruit grabbing strategy and quit at 5 million.

5,000,010
Great Score skosh :thumbsup:  wish I hadn't mentioned the fruit grabbing strategy now :D I would have had 5million+ if my dinner wasn't ready on time ;)

Looks like someone needs to re-code this game to make it harder :?

Perhaps porting Dig Dug wide version over would suffice.

Oh please, NO!  That was the version I got first, for my 1200XL. It sucks. It's slow. The pump misses enemies when they are in ghost-mode travelling thru dirt. The 5200 version just feels right.
