Very good port of the arcade game, allegedly finished off from something started by Atarisoft.

Dig Dug is a pretty strong port of the arcade game, as far as I can tell. I'm not that familiar with the original. Once you've played for awhile, the game gets pretty tough. It's solid and fun, and above average overall. For an INTV Corp. game, it's average to slightly better. However, there is an Easter Egg of the best kind in this game - another hidden game! Best Score: [Dig Dug: 15270 (Level 8)] [Deadly Dogs: 203000]

A total of two Dig Dug box variants have been documented.

	Nicely rendered—you even get a multi-colored dude! This game also illustrates the limitations of the Intellivision's graphics—only a 16-color palette further limited by the graphics mode of the STIC. Still, a well-done game. The sound effects and music are, once again, quite good.
