If you want the classic Dig Dug for your XB1 system, you'll like this.Pros...Reasonably priced at $3.99. A better bargain if you getIf you want the classic Dig Dug for your XB1 system, you'll like this.Pros...Reasonably priced at $3.99. A better bargain if you get the 3 in 1 pack which has Pac Man, Galaga and Dig Dug for $7.99.Original game. Saves high scores (shows your "initials"). Let's others see top scores world wide (Gamer tag). Or you can sort by personal or friends best scores.Cons...Longer than expected load screen (but less than 360 backwards compatible version on XB1). I dislike that it is listed under "Arcade Series" instead of Dig Dug on the games list. And from what I can tell, it doesn't have 2 player (hot seat/take turns) mode.Other than that it is the classic Dig Dug you remember, even with it's wonky controls.
