dig dug is overrated!

@TripleXero Its the 7800 version which is vastly superior to the 2600 graphics you are thinking of.

The carts themselves could have a pokey or cost reduced 'gumby' chip -- that was never made btw -- improve the sound. Only a few titles like Commando and Ballblazer had the pokey chip on the cart. The decision to leave the pokey off of the motherboard happened before the Tramiel's took over. It was basically they just ran out of room on the mother board. Too bad tough.

When Jack Tramiel took over Atari ,he declined to give the 7800 the superior pokey chip,to cut costs.They opted to use the 2600 tia chip instead.People assume just because the 7800 is the successor to the 2600,it has better sound,which it doesnt.Some 7800 games sound amazing,because the pokey chip was added IN THE CARTRIDGE itself.

Wow, that's an interesting tid-bit, thanks for explaining it. I was wondering how the heck your could get the Dig-Dug music using the 2-channel 2600 hardware. The answer is in the cartridge!

The 7800 sound in most games was not up to par.The 7800 used the same sound hardware as the 2600.Other than that,the 7800 is still a pretty good system,especially its arcade ports.

I find it hard to believe that the 7800 had the same sound hardware as the 2600. The 2600 only had 2 sound channels!

FANTASTIC legendary game

It's one of my favourites: pretty nice character detail and animation in the graphics, but more importantly, great gameplay concepts that start simply and get more and more complex.
A classic.
