Have to give you credit. As a skilled Dig Dug player (Arcade high - 2.4 Million - round 176) I am impressed at your skill at going for the rock drops and getting ALL the monsters with one rock before round 8.I wait until round 12 (when the boards start to cycle) to go for the massive 10000 point plus rock drops. I use a mix of rock drops (getting 2-3 enemies on average) and shooting during the first 11 boards.
in the early 80's i played this game every chance i got.(Probably contributed to my divorce). "rolled" the machine over on my first life routinely. if i didnt have more than a couple hours i would stop at 999,990....on my first life. it was all patterns like pac man and such. those were the days. 54 now and my memory isnt as good but i would love to play again. a good freind of mine owned an arcade so we could play all the time for free. i remember the game "track and field". i built a small motor device with a cam and a plunger and when i put it on the button that you had to hit to run and jump, the guy was jumping like 60 feet. it was freaking hilarious. we were all stoned back then which made it even funnier. i miss those days
LMAO @ the track and field game. I don't remember playing that in the arcade, but do you remember the one they had ton the NES that had that plastic pad you were supposed to run on? Everyone just hit the foot buttons with the tips of their fingers to run because if you didn't you'd lose by like a mile. God tat game was awful xD Dig Dug was absolutely my favorite growing up, but I was way too young during this arcade era to seriously be high score player. I wasn't even 10 yet when this game came out. Think I was like 6-7. This and Ms. Pac Man, Centipede, Asteroids, Donkey Kong (really never liked any of the ones after the first one). Then all these gmaes came out on the Atari, and looked awful. DD and DK looked OK I guess, PAc Man was embarrassing. xD
+ifixcopiers I miss those days too but with MAME, emulators, the rise of retro bar-arcades, and X Box live arcade we can play Dig Dug just like back in the day. As a 13 year old kid back in 1982 - I thought that 50,000 was a good score. Now I know about patterns and strategy and anything under a million (or an hour if playing on an arcade machine) is a crappy game.
I suspect he is playing this on a computer. It's possible to replicate the exact instructions from these old arcade game chips, and in doing so you can play the game on a computer EXACTLY as if you were playing it on an actual video arcade game.
Actually, you where encouraged into acquiring a additional console and a additional copy of the same game in order to play both games at once, thus doubling the original score, at that time, that was considered the "true world record". I believe the highest score ever was a guy playing on eight consoles at once, of course this guy had twenty hands and my comment is total bullshit. Lol, I wonder how long you (if you ever did) wonder if what I am typing had any truth to it at all..
CONGRATULATION! WHILE YOU WHERE PLAYING WE KILLED YOUR FAMILY! Yeah it was a hack for the atari 2600, but it scared the shit out of me...almost as much as the creepy screen you get when trying to play Super Mario World when its "saving battery got drained". If there is no video showing it on youtube, well, its basically just a creepy sound (kinda like the playstation 1) would play while a black background with a weird message would pop up. Not what to expect when popping in Super Mario World.
DAMM!!! Why did you have to get killed just short of 100,00 points? I've never seen a machine roll over to that and wanted to see if it would do anything special to commemorate reaching that goal. I remember in school, so may kids that bragged that they could score over 100,00 on this game or that game, don't know how much was true or B.S.
+snoo foo Yes there are. My high is 2.4 million and there are players that are MUCH better than me. My brother Eric has a score of 3.3 MILLION making it 17 boards (round 239) shy of the kill screen at round 256.I believe the WR holder is Ken House who beat the former WR holder Donald Haze who had a score in the 4.6 million range.
Seems like someone else has a new world record look at the end because it says now go for the world record so someone must have got 1 more point than him lol 😂
Props to the one Fygar at 8:35 who realized he was in more trouble than he'd signed up for and got away with his life.
Ceruleanst That's funny
There's always one monster that gravitates towards the surface just watching the exits, waiting to run for it.
Put the play back speed on
0.75x and it sounds like a earrape version of a horror game chase

I laughed every time you crushed every enemy in the level under one rock.

Incredible! What skill and devotion. You are the master.
Try showing this to Namco.
Namco: Holy crap! This person maxed out the score! We have a legend.
Dig dug is do quick and fast
So that’s why the high score was so high at that one arcade machine

You are a machine. That is insanity! You learned the game.
I get way more enjoyment out of this than I should...
I made it to some high levels, but holy shit! That's some mad, mad, MAD use of rocks. I used them, but not nearly to that level of finesse, kudos!
Ah exactly how I remember dig dug sounding.
Well, 3x Playback Speed. Glad, Cause, No One Would Have The Patience To Sit Back For 3 Hours, And Rack That Score.
Respect!
My god is that awesome, I swear you have the world record. I can't pass Round 8 XD.
The world record is 5million
uh oh Chuck Norris got a hold of this game
XD
My UA-cam is glitched, it says this comment was posted one year ago instead of seven.
LittleMissRuse damn.
Those rocks make hilarious instant enemy crushers, but they can also squish the player if they don't watch out. I know that from personal experience.
The power of a rock cannot be underestimated
I’ve never seen someone chain the enemies like this damn
Damn, all this time I didn't realize you could pass through inflated enemies.
Put the playback speed on 0.75x and it sounds like horror game chase music especially here: 12:25
old people commenting on a tas will always be funny
I thought this was tas. Good job!
Not all heros wear capes
Dig Dug God!
MADMAX?
Oh my god I was thinking that lol
E Sports Resort same😂
RESPECT!!! AWESOME!
すげー！！！勉強になります！！！！
I can never be this good. Its not fair!
Trey Powell Yeah you can just keep playing.
phenomenal !
How did you get such an excellent video capture, from a real arcade board???
I suspect he is playing this on a computer. It's possible to replicate the exact instructions from these old arcade game chips, and in doing so you can play the game on a computer EXACTLY as if you were playing it on an actual video arcade game.
Congratulation! Highest Score!
Go for the world record.
His name is Hori Taizo
I remember when I was a beginner at this game and the rock would also fall on me when I was trying to kill the monsters
at the end, "GO FOR THE WORLD RECORD NOW!" yeah, i'm pretty sure that was the world record.... XD
Damn... What a hard game
Just like Marble Madness
Put on 2x playback
0.25 is regular speed.
@@adrianatartakoff1722 Actually 0.33333333333x is normal speed, but such setting doesn't exist yet...
I Think He Has The World Record! :) 999990PTS! Yeah That's The World Record For Sure!
You played for THAT LONG... Wow... O_O
Awesome!
I used to be that good :( - MSF
Mark Forster No way, YOU were MSF?? Awwh, I tried for ages to try and beat your scores.
Olivebates LOL. Yes I was MSF. In west St Paul!
Mark Forster YES OMG xDD
