The
largely uncopied Universal game, Mr Do, is represented
here in a reasonable conversion from Microdeal.
Although
originating from Dig Dug, it expands on the scenario
and provides an exciting and fast game. The idea is
to collect all the cherries from their underground patches,
or destroy all the monsters. The latter is done either
by clearing the earth under large apples, causing them
to fall on your pursuers in true Dig Dug fashion, or
by throwing a magic ball at them, which will blow up
on contact.
To
liven things up, the monsters mutate into even worse
things which gobble everything, including you. On later
screens you have a chance to earn extra lives by hitting
a special monster labelled with a letter on its chest.
Spell out BONUS and an extra life is yours.
This
Microdeal release isn't totally faithful to the arcade
version, the graphics aren't too hot in fact, but the
tune is great. A variety of skill levels make up for
the graphics.
