Similar in play mechanics to Namco's Dig Dug, this is one of the all-time greatest classics out there! You dig tunnels and use a powerball and falling apples to kill badguys, diggers, alphamonsters, and blue chompers. With four ways to complete a level (kill all monsters, eat all cherries, spell EXTRA, or collect the diamond), a huge variety of subtleties to enhance gameplay, and much more strategies than most classics, this one is my personal favorite. What's great about the classics is that unlike today's games, which you play for hours until they're completed then completely forget about, this is one title I could play once a day everyday for the rest of my life.
This series also has Mr. Do!'s Castle, Mr. Do!'s Wild Ride, and Do! Run Run. The consensus amongst most gamers is that Castle is the best in the series, but the original is my favorite. Also, every game is completely different than its predecessor, something you'd NEVER see nowadays.
Long live Mr. Do!
