In the Blue corner, sporting white Space Suit, and here to "Pump you up"....Dig Dug!

In the Red corner, Sporting Red, Insane Clown Posse..........Mr. Do!

Judge on;
1) Graphics
2) Artwork
3) Gameplay
4) Sound
5) Staying power


:fight: FIGHT! :fight:
 
1) Graphics - Dig Dug
2) Artwork - Definitely Dig Dug!
3) Gameplay - Again,Dig Dug
4) Sound - DD
5) Staying power - Ask 100 people if they've heard of DD or Mr. Do and way more people will say Dig Dug.

Dig Dug wins in 1st rd KO just like the Tyson/Michael Spinks fight.
 
graphics.... the games are about equal to me but Mr.do gets the nod. DD's characters looked kinda squished to me

artwork..... the dedicated universal cabs have this hands down. beyond that, the rest of the artwork on the convertacabs suck.

gameplay... to close to call here. i don't really like either game all that much.....lol

sound.... mr.do has the better music but it gets annoying to fast. DD wins this 1.

staying power.... DD is for sure more well known but DD gets boring pretty fast. at least Mr.do's screens change.

3 to 1 with 1 tie......a win for mr.do here
 
Mr. Do! will always be underrated. It really is a great game.

But I own Dig Dug. :D It's not unusual to hear someone playing Dig Dug ask "Where are the cherries?", though...
 
I agree that Mr. Do is underrated.

1) Graphics-I don't think there is a major difference at this point. Maybe DD looked better back in the day.

2) Artwork-I generally love the Universal cabs. The Mr.Do art specfically is so so. DD might win on that one.

3) Gameplay-For me, it's Mr. Do all the way.

4) Sound-Mr. Do but DD is good.

5) Staying power-both
 
Graphics: Mr. Do!
Artwork: Dig Dug
Gameplay: Mr. Do!

Staying Power: Mr. Do!

Overall: Mr. Do!
 
1) Graphics: tie. About the same in my book.
2) Artwork: dig dug. not even close. Even dediated unversal cab is just too generic/plain..
3) Gameplay: Mr do.
4) Sound: dig dug
5) Staying power: Dig dug. Never will sell my dig dug. Mr do, I am happy to play in generic jamma cab.

Dig dug wins by a small margin.
 
Graphics: Mr. Do!
Artwork: Dig Dug (But all Universal backlit translights rock!)
Gameplay: Mr. Do!
Sound: Dig Dug
Staying Power: Mr. Do! (There is a lot more too it than Dig Dug... DD is slow when it starts)

Overall: Mr. Do!
 
Graphics: Tie
Artwork: Dig Dug
Gameplay: Mr.Do!
Sound: Tie
Staying Power: Dig Dug because it is more well known, but Mr.Do! has the staying power at my place.

Overall I vote for Mr.Do!
 
Winner mr. Do!

Winner: The underdog Mr. Do!!
I loved both bitd. Dig Dug was more common, but Mr. Do rocks. even the "generic" universal cab was sweet with the lit up front. Face it, most of the times games are stacked up side by side and you never see the sideart anyhow. sounds, gameplay, Mr. Do!.
I really thought Dig Dug would have been dominate, but surprisingly Mr. Do wins!

Until next Fri...............................
