Digger

The Good
Almost everything is perfect in Digger: The best gameplay elements of Dig Dug and Mr. Do; the sound and music, the gameplay speed; even the cute little graphics are completely appropriate. It's obvious that Digger's ideas were stolen from existing games, but Windmill managed to improve them greatly.

The Bad
There isn't much to hate about Digger, but I've always wished that your missle weapon bounced around the tunnels ala Mr. Do.

The Bottom Line
Digger is the most well-rounded of Windmill's efforts, and is a great game to play when you just want to pick something up and have fun.

The Good
Digger? Who doesn't know Digger? Probably the first game I played on my XT, Digger is a classic in all respect. Its graphics are good, music great, controls excellent and playability level unmatched at the time. It was technically remarkable, way ahead of its time, with polyphonic music and sound effects, simplistic but effective computer AI and an amazing charm which keeps people playing it to this day. If you have any sense at all go and grab the remastered version by Andrew M. Jenner here.

The Bad
You get sick of it after a while, but you always come back.

The Bottom Line
A true classic indeed.

The Good
This game is really a treat. It's fun to get go around a maze a hear that cute sound when you collect jems. It also does not get too hard when you get rid of the hobblins with the money bags. The game is also to me a little more like DigDug and Pacman combo, still is great

The Bad
Can't think of much but it gets annoying that you have to run the program in MS Dos mode on Windows 98 if I want to play it.

The Bottom Line
The game is still a great arcade classic.

The Good
Digger is just incredible for a 1983 game. It did almost everything right -- graphics were state of the art, music was pseudo multi-channel, and gameplay was so addictive. I still play it from time to time, and actually enjoy it.

The Bad
It has only 8 levels. And also if you die in the middle of a higher level, it's sometimes really hard to finish that level without dieing again.

The Bottom Line
I'm not sure whether the new generation will like Digger, but it's still fun to play.

The Good
What I like most about this game was the fact that it was a combination of strategy and arcade. You can run anywhere, but the bugs will catch up with you so you have to think while you play and efficiently use the resources you have on the screen.

The Bad
Goes as fast as the processor will let you, therefore you can't play it on a modern computer...

The Bottom Line
A truly excellent classic.

The Good
I liked the game play. It has simple graphics (what do you expect from 1983) but is still extremely fun.

The Bad
Not much besides the gun. I think you should have been able to get ammo instead of refueling your gun.

The Bottom Line
Dig through the dirt, shoot the baddies, and get all the gems and gold.
