Just reviewing versions from old classic systems. Many modern ports are near identical.
So here are 8 Dig Dugs they should not have bothered making. And 8 really good ports.
First, the list of bad Dig Dugs:
#1 Atari 2600 - horrible play, horrible graphics. Rocks are squares. Other than main
character, none of the other characters look close to arcade.

#2 Apple II - bad play, bad graphics
#3 MSDOS - accurate and good play, bad graphics
#4 Intellivision - expected better from them.
#5 VIC20 - good play, not the best graphics
#6 Atari 800 - surprisingly bad for that system
#7 Atari 5200 - graphics are capable of being better. little effort on design team.
#8 TI994A - some of the graphics could have been detailed better
Good Dig Dugs
#1 Sega Dreamcast - Perfect in most ways from opening screen on.

#2 Nintendo 64 - Perfect. same graphics, play, and development as the Sega Dreamcast.
#3 Windows - very good in strange and different way
#4 Nintendo Family Computer - Perfect as it can get.
#5 Nintendo NES - very good and accurate. Worst part is that NES graphic flicker.
#6 Atari 7800 - One of the best Arcade clones of the game. Little higher resolutions and they
would have nailed it.

#7 Commodore 64 - well done over all, sore weird graphic glitches
#8 ColecoVision - Nailed the game play, graphics not so much
