Anyone else find Mr. Do...CREEPY?

[pocketmego]

I was never exposed to the Mr. Do arcade games as a child. Only recently have I discovered the games and their various home counterparts. The C64 version, with its heightened graphics really reminds me of what a creepy bastard Mr. Do is.

 

I mean you play a little freakey clown man that lives underground or in a castle depending on which game. Throws exploding bouncy balls and has that eerie blood red smock covered in polka dots. BRRRRRRR

 

Add to that he looks like a little wind up toy clown and it just gets more creepy.

 

Thoughts?

Actually, I enjoy Mr. Do! quite a lot, we have a lot in common.

Mr. Do is not so bad once you get to know him....

 

He visits me......

 

At Night...

Who doesn't love a clown that kills monsters with his gigantic balls?

According to the quiz, I am Mister Do.

I am Mr Do.

 

I am sedentary by nature, enjoying passive entertainment, eating when the mood takes me, and playing with my food. I try to avoid conflict, but when I'm angered, I can be a devil - if you force me to fight, I will crush you. With apples.

 

If you think the old, classic Mr. Do! games are weird, check out Neo Mr. Do on the Neo Geo. Terrifying. You will never sleep again.

Strong and passionate, I tend to be misunderstood, sometimes even feared. I don't want to fight, I don't want to cause trouble, all I ask is a little love, and a little peace. If I don't get what I want, I get angry, and throw barrels and flaming oil at whatever's stopping me.

Clowns in general are freaky. You can thank Pennywise and John Wayne Gacy for that.

 

Mr Do is weird, but the game has a lot of depth and replayability. I should know, my Mr Do arcade cab is about five feet behind me

Ever feel like he's watching you while you type?

 

 

I still think Dig Dug is better and not nearly as creepy.

If you want to see just how creepy Mr. Do! can be, play Neo Mr. Do! for the Neo-Geo! All the characters have really strange, spastic animations, and there's a power-up which turns the already disturbing star of the game into Miss Do!

I find the comments about Mr. Do! more creepy than the game itself, which I find to be light-hearted fun.

[yuppicide]

I loooooove Mr. Do! and although I find clowns freaky, I don't find Mr. Do! freaky.

 

Neo Mr. Do! was so bad I didn't give it much chance before I stopped playing.

I Bet I could Beat John Wayne Gacy at Mr. Do, but he would probibally kill me and then draw a picture of mickey mouse

It's the music man, it's so happy, too happy. In fact it's so happy that it's evil.... I got it playing in my head for the rest of the day now...Let the nightmares come.

Is this game any good? I've been pondering a NEO GEO console purchase and I would like to find some good games for it. (non 2 player fighting, I have enough of those)

Back when I first played this game in the arcade that week I had a nightmare of seeing a clown being riped apart by thouse cute dino like mosters, I kid you not! But then again in 1982 when I was 10 I had any bad dreams but to this day I still remeber that part of my dream from way back tells me that this game really did get to me

I believe I've made my point.

Mr. Do on the CV looks like a Klansman. It's a fun game but I always thought it was weird to be represented on screen by an inbred hillbilly in a sheet.

[ScottHuggins]

Dug Dug is much more well known, but I like Mr Do a lot better.
