  • Boy, I’m really becoming quite the fanboy for the arcade classics the guys over at Namco keep porting over to the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. Their latest effort is Dig Dug Remix, and is another winner, as far as this classic arcade gamer is concerned.
    Dig Dug Remix is two version’s of Dig Dug in one App:

     

    #1) Classic Dig Dug:

    All the fun and excitement is here from the classic arcade version. Your pulse races as you try to elude and defeat the classic villian’s, Pooka & Frygar. The sounds, and graphics are dead-on in this version. This one had me looking for a quarter slot on my iPhone.

    #2) Dig Dug Remix:

    This is a modernized version of the classic. The layout is fresh, and gameplay is smooth. I might add, this version even surpasses the original, bringing Dig Dug into this century.

    New Features Include:

    • 5 New Bosses
    • Special Tricks per Level
    • Special Traps per Level
    • 6 Unique Power-Up Items (Ability To Switch Items During Gameplay)
    • 3 Difficulty Settings
    • 35 Levels

    Both version’s give you option’s for changing game controls: You can use a standard D-pad, or opt for the new Flick control. Using the latter, you simply flick your finger across the bottom left corner of the game screen in the direction you want to move. I opted for the D-Pad over the Flick control. The D-Pad for me, just feels more familiar; though with my big gorilla paws, I wish it was a little bigger.

    Although I love the classic version, I must admit the new remix version won me over. It’s updated graphics and added features just makes it shine.  I think the price for this app is justified; and for all you get, it’s well worth it. So if your looking for a fun app to pass the time, and like the classics, then definitely get this app. It’s another “must have” app for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
