Wait I'm confused Dig Dug was originally Atari's right?
What happened? Did they sell off there rights for that game or something?
Just like with Pac-Man, Galaga and Mappy, Namco created Dig-Dug and licensed it to other companies. Many of Namco's early creations went to Bally/Midway, but Atari picked up Dig-Dug.
Namco designed Dig-Dug boards actually are very close to Galaga, Bosconian and Mappy dual board sets sharing the same pinout. Atari converted them to 2 different versions of single large boards as you most commonly see.
See both versions of the title screen below
Ahh, I love answers!!
Yeah , but are the Namco boards rare ? I never see them .
