5200 OE HSC Challenge 01/2022 Dig Dug

[zylon]

Let's start off by digging out of last year's hole with the classic Dig Dug. Play on default, starting from level 1, Carrot, using real Atari systems, and Atari mfg controls. -1 HSC pt penalty for use of period 3rd party analog sticks, such as the Wico. The only modern exceptions allowed, are flashcarts/SD loaders running original Roms. Pics preffered, but not required except for HSC wins and records.

Round ends when month does.

Excellent choice. A fun game that I always stunk at. Training starts tonight after the football game. Maybe.

New hi 71510

[+jeremiahjt]

A score of 28,000 for me. I think Dig Dug has to be one of my worst games across all systems.  Although 28,000 is pretty good for me.

148,040. With CX52 controller. 
 

[+DamonicFury]

197,120 - with CX-52 (ow,ow,ow)

We begin the 40th year of the 5200, with mark griff toppling the 2021 champ with a final effort, and some great play. 👍 This was always one of those games I could watch, but never could play well.

Thanks to all who played, and our next challenge awaits...
