Dig Dug new World Record Kill Screen

[computerkid1416]

What's your strategy? Stay back and let the enemies come to you? That's kind of what I was thinking might work

[lucas66568]

0:00 taizou, stop inflating us!we aren't inflatable!

0:14 now dig dug is on the hell!

LOL

[supermariohunter2001]

you collapse under pressure!!!XD

[turducken97]

ha ha!

[jah2625]

10 people wish they could get to the kill screen

[Rialge]

cheater



[luiscoriano1]

how crazy is that a man going underground finding more than 10 godzillaz and mutains with no hands mad respect for dig dug

[RcUniverseGuy]

theres a potential dig dug killscreen coming up if anyone wants to watch.

[niiiggeeer3000]

damn, my dad did 1,2 million O.o

[Kenoman29]

I would like to see that done on the Jakks Plug in Play system. It would never happen. The Jakks is tougher. My grandson hit 191, 400 on the Jakks....maybe that doesnt sound too impressive, but he is only 4 years old. I swear thats the truth.

[RcUniverseGuy]

@Kenoman29 your nuts

[Kenoman29]

@RcUniverseGuy ....I'm Nuts? Explain in what way you mean that. Are you calling me a liar?

[RcUniverseGuy]

@Kenoman29 no im just calling you nuts for thinking thats a hard task if a 4 year old could do it im pretty sure most people could do it with a few hours of practice...

[Kenoman29]

@RcUniverseGuy OK fool, I'll tell you what. Go out and buy the Jakks Plug n play system for yourself. As you say, practice for a few hours and see if you can do what he did. Oh by the way he's up to 212,000 now. Of course he is 5 years old now. So get your ass to the store and get back to me after you practice for a few hours and let me know how you do. This oughta be good........

[BrownPersonVincent11]

@LooneyTunesFan80 no i have the tv game and i can only go up to 55040

[TinleyParkDunkers]

i looked at your score,and it was 501,150.but, your high score was 996,380 sorry

[AtHomeTech]

@TinleyParkDunkers The score rolls over at 999,990. This was after the 4th roll over. This record is now 5,136,150.

[ToricoUK]

nerdgasm

[joseluismata22]

@AtHomeTech lolz i agree with this person

[AtHomeTech]

@LooneyTunesFan80

well break it then Einstein.

[500Wolfman]

that is why in the original zelda the most ruppees you could have was 255

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

thats so cool i didnt know kill screen existed

[uhfnutbar1]

you know anything about a trick that will frezz up the game or somthing like that ,,,,wipe out rocks ?

[uhfnutbar1]

hay what is your first name ,,,did you ever send in tapes to TG Donald Hayes gottin a new score up is TG messing with you ?

[SomeGuyFromKidsTube]

It's strange how the number 256 is overly glitched up. e.g. if in Pokemon, your Pokemon reaches level 256, the game glitches!

[booo95]

@SomeGuyFromKidsTube An eight digit binary number can only go up to 255. Since many old arcade games were only 1 8-bit byte, 255 slots of memory is all they can hold, making everything screw up at 256.

[ILoveScratchBattles]

@SomeGuyFromKidsTube You need a nine-bit counter (9 ones or zeros) to show 256 as follows:

100000000

Problem: Most video games use 8-bit counters to keep track of levels.

Solution: Add another 8-bit counter (8+8=16=65536 possible values!

Pokemon example problem: Pokemon's levels can only go up to 100!

[Darwinion]

@SomeGuyFromKidsTube It's to do with the way computers work and how some situations are not catered for. If you start at 1 and then double up each time you get 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256... it's not a coincidence that 256 glitches in some old games.

[ePhilosopher9]

lol. just topkill it.

[pokuby]

daammn u r so good

[AtHomeTech]

@burr1aj This game was only about 4 hours. I cant do 63 hrs, I'm an old man for god sake!

[gamerdough]

killed at 256 because it's a higher value than FF and that's the game errors. kind of like on Zelda where you can't have more than 255 rupees for the same reasason. value can't go higher than FF

[MP9220]

It's like in pac man, the kill screen is also at level 256. Or the "split screen".

[savegame21]

i guess this is what happens when you stay in a hole for so long. you finally die XD

[ArbyQSauce]

is there an ending to dig dug? lol

[bambam111992]

on round 256 it kills you

[uhfnutbar1]

what your name ? i dont see your score on the twin galaxies web sit......

top score now is 4,689,190

[AtHomeTech]

This was the record at the time. Donald Hayes then posted a 4.59m game and I posted the 4.689m. I have recored a 4.785m game but its not being submitted yet, and may never be. TG needs some work...

[uhfnutbar1]

did you put your initials in ?!!!!!! or it no good to twin galaxies,, did they get your tape is it posted how long did it take

[ePhilosopher9]

i was 1980 champion at Dig Dug. pookah and fygar were my mortal nemesises. i dropped rocks on their heads and filled them up with air until they burst! lol. I was the MASTER! playing for hours on one quarter. I won a Tuxedo for getting high score for the semester. I wore it to my prom...wait i didnt wear it to my prom, i didn't go to my prom. i wore it for halloween and mardi gras. it's all coming back to me now. Damn Fygar! I doubt though that I even came close to your score. Want my tux?

[AtHomeTech]

LOL, I'm sure the tux has a place in your heart besides I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy ;-)

Thanks for the comment!

[patti985]

@ePhilosopher9 you live in louisiana? now we have something to be proud of :D

[lucas66568]

@ePhilosopher9 filling with air is to inflate

[Armalizilto]

Kill Screens!

[PJman586]

First off nicely done.

But at the beginning when you say "I got it!" you sounded just like Sonic the Hedgehog lol

[bowsermaster12]

"There is a potential Donkey Kong kill screen coming up if anyone is interested." ~King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters

Congrats on the score, most impressive.

[Westy215]

I saw that doco. That guy was pushing it when he was trying to get everyone to watch steve. thank god steve got the kill screen or else he probably would have killed the guy on site.

[Tata996]

Haha. You guys are sick.

[DemonicFireFly117]

Holy shit... that was GODLIKE

[Casil3as]

what i dont get it so if you get far in the game you just start dieing or what

[ChocolateMilkIsTight]

rent the movie king of kong: a fistful of quarters

[masterkjm4260]

that was a good movie i saw it 3 times

[Moseley2388]

Yeah. When you get to the last level (or level 0) then it spawns one of the creatures on top of you so you can't kill it or escape (hence the "kill screen".

I haven't ever gotten there. I just start getting bored with the game after level 115.

[notyoursavior78]

Wow you got to the round zero kill screen. Congrats man! I would be excited too. I didn't know the game would just kill you off in the arcade version.

[Mantichor]

wtf? -.-

[mpmpm]

The only one pathetic here, is you.

[atari26003]

Dear ptobes, the internet is telling you that you are not welcome. Please leave and not return or return when friends have been aquired

Sincerely,

- The interweb

[atari26003]

i find it comical that it took a month to come with that comment, which is all but an assumption of my social status in life, which seeing as you don't even know me frankly don't mean shit what you think. so im not sure what reaction from me you were looking for but ... lol?

[Upthemeds]

So I'm guessing you are Ken House then, I looked up your score on twingalaxies. I'm sorry your score got past a month later by a donald hayes

[AtHomeTech]

Stay tuned...

[dannidog1]

nice dude nice

[BruDiggity]

Well met!

[CoMbAt026]

Wicked nice man!

[Juanfcoglezf]

nice

[alexander92648]

nerds....? NERDDSSS!!!!!

[AClipADayForAYear]

Have fun in your mothers basement

[AtHomeTech]

Maybe you missed the other vids with the Mustang and the Vette.. Long since graduated from mommies basement JR....

[kbrinks]

Nice work, and nice way to end on the rock crush!

[thepoopsniff]

im 7th in the world on donkey kong. right now im workin on pole position and ms pacman

[ATGhasaposse]

FUCK YES! Another record, tally one more for America!

USA! USA! USA!

[TheCheezWizz]

hope you know game records mean nothing >_>

[JNugent74]

@TheCheezWizz - If they mean nothing, what does that say about you, considering you not only watched the video, but took the time to comment?

[TheCheezWizz]

@JNugent74 Way to make a complete failure of an argument that has nothing to do with the fact people are shitting themselves over a score in a videogame. And you waited 2 years to be so dumb and unoriginal.

[JNugent74]

@TheCheezWizz - I just saw the video today and commented on it. What exactly is your problem with gaming? A lot of people go nuts over sports. I don't put them down, or say that their accomplishments 'mean nothing'. Everyone has different interests. Once again, you watched the video and took the time to comment on it. Is this how you treat people in every day life, or are you only negative like this online, because you can hide behind the anonymity of a YouTube username?

[TheCheezWizz]

@JNugent74 Is this how you treat people in every day life, or are you only combative like tihs online, because you can hide behind the anonymity of a YouTube username?

It works both ways. I don't know why i'm not entitled to my opinion but you are.

[JNugent74]

@TheCheezWizz - You expressed your opinion by saying 'I hope you know game records mean nothing.' To you, they mean nothing. To others, they mean something. Maybe you could clarify by stating 'Game records mean nothing to me'. And I love the fact that you think I'm being 'combative' because I happened to respond to your opinion, which you are entitled to. Has this not been a civil exchange? I'm only curious as to why you took the time to watch and comment on a video that 'means nothing'.

[OmgDudeChristina]

Holy shit, and I thought I was good with level 24. HAHAHAHA!  NICE JOB DUDE HAHA!

[SamMcNear]

AWESOME KEN WAY TO GO! PLAY ON!

[y643ffw]

can't you continue on dig dug by putting in more quarters when you use up all your lives?

[DrLove0378]

Yes, the game does allow continues -- but in this situation, further play is impossible, as the player is killed as soon as the level begins, due to the aforementioned integer overflow.

[y643ffw]

but Billy Mitchell knows more about hot sauce than you :)

[pacboy24]

HAHAHAHAHA

[AtHomeTech]

LOL.. Ya.. and TIGHT black pants too!

[lookatmeanimator]

so, in other words y643ffw and DrLove0378, the kill screen.

[QualityMusicVids]

Dig Dug will find Osama Bin Laden if elected president 2008, through his experience digging tunnels to thwart underground intruders spanning his career. He is also a pimp, and gets mad pussy. Dig Dug 2008.

[jdcoffey1992]

Dig Dug

Pacman  08

[quedin2u]

@QualityMusicVids looks like dug dug found him!

[dsdude1107]

@QualityMusicVids damn, i didn't realize dig dug was the navy seal....

[Malenki888]

Integer overflow.This game ends on round 256 (round 0), since this board is unplayable. At the start of the level, a Pooka is placed directly on top of where the player starts, with no way to kill it.

[sinistermoon]

Hell yeah man that is awesome. So are you still up on Twin Galaxies?

First time I have seen the kill screen for this game.

[BTC141]

Hater. You need to go to the hospital cause you are out of your mind.

[microtaffy]

is playing dig dug fmore fun on a game console or is it more fun on a arcade machine

[crazynintendoguy]

Its more fun playing it on the aracde but you can actually play the REAL arcade on your Xbox 360 console if you have Xbox Live.

[melissatx75]

that was soooo cool!

[level505]

awesome!!! i wish my wife was as supportive as your wife when it came to playing Digdug.

my wife says me playing Digdug is an annoying waste of time.

your wife(or significant other)is cheering your on and recording it.. right on

[finstersrc30]

Congrats!

[blackop8889]

awesome

[Rhinosaur35]

Ken House's record has since been beaten by Donald Hayes' 4,595,010 game in January '08.

Only four 4 million-point games on record, quite an achievement.

[jewmob]

billy mitchel is a dick

[straydollbaby]

Congrats! You are now the biggest nerd on planet Earth.

[frak126]

Billy Mitchel still holds that record.

[smoshRUES]

lol yeah stupid donkey kong

[ChaosRayZero]

What the holy pookas?!?

You mean he just starts dying? They don't speed the enemies up to ridiculous speeds or something?

[Agju]

i read on Wikipedia that the Dig Dug kill screen has an enemy starting on top of Dig Dug so that when the level begins, he automatically dies.

[ChaosRayZero]

That's what it LOOKS like happened. It's still crazy.

BTW, don't trust Wikipedia.

[frak126]

The original arcade cabinets could not store any more information after level 255. Once you got to 256, it was usually like level 1 with the exception that the cabinet buffer overflows and you die because the game sorta auto-failsafe from totally crashing.

Donkey Kong is a great example this. Usually within 11 seconds of starting the 22nd table, Mario dies for no reason. And no matter how many lives you have, you will always get a "GAME OVER" message.

[smoshRUES]

marios name back then was jumper man just so ya no

[psykachu3]

The princess at the top wasn't peach!

:D

[crazyermonkey]

daisy is actually a boy!

[smoshRUES]

u called him mario his name was jumper man

[ZetaNeubourn]

Jumpman, actually. XD

[furrykef]

Correction: it was the 22nd level, not the 22nd table. A level has up to 4 tables.

[DevannB]

Well. I'd hate to be the perso nwho wasted a dollar or whatever.

[hbomb230]

For anyone who's interested there is a dig dug kill screen coming up!

[lulz420699]

lol, that guy seemed like such a dork in The King Of Kong.

[Agju]

Ugh I know...he is such a Billy Mitchell toadie/wingman, hoping some of the mystique of Billy will make him cooler or whatever. At least that's the opinion I got when I saw King of Kong on G4.

[natedoggcata]

53 hours? Man thats dedication. Sounds like your wife is cool with it also haha. Congrats dude

[AtHomeTech]

It took about 3.5 hours to set that record. I am currently working on getting it back, just takes time I dont really have to tighten up a few things in my play.

-Ken

[natedoggcata]

yeah haha after watching it again she said 3 hours. haha It sounded like she said 53 hours before. Who holds the record now?

[AtHomeTech]

Donald Hayes scored 4,595,000 or so.

[ChaosRayZero]

She said "took you 3 hours."

I heard "53 hours" the first time, too. :^p

[NikoAnesti]

Well, the game DOES tell you to go for the world record, haha. Nice job, that's awesome!

[wallaman12345]

wow. U just die?

[frolegend]

Well done!

[FromtheDarkstream]

How many quarters did you have to spend to get that good?

[padrinot]

so nice !

[pacboy24]

i would say ur a nerd with all that excitement, but after a LONG play gettin there i would understand why u were excited =) good job

[HOLYSACRIFICE]

[errmack71]
