  CHEAT MODE unlimited lives, file versions - find the 3 instances of sequence "$E6 $2A" then change the 3 $E6 to $A5, and, find the 2 instances of sequence "$C6 $2A" then change the 2 $C6 to $A5. Five (5) bytes edited total. CHEAT MODE unlimited lives, cassette versions - this download is a cassette, trick its checksums by changing 10 bytes total. Change the 3 instances of "$E6 $2A" to become "$A9 $67", and, change the 2 instances of "$C6 $2A" to become "$A9 $47". Within the cassette image here for download, these 5pair are at offsets $3817-$3818, $3881-$3882, $3915-$3916, $392A-$392B, and, $3E34-$3E35.

  For some reason, Page 6 (the Atari mag, not the celeb-stalkers, obviously) gave this a better review than Mr. Do. I'm not sure why- Mr. Dig isn't awful by any means, but the official Mr. Do is quite obviously a much better version.

  Thanks to ebay - I now have three different tape versions of this game. One version has a simple white label with "Mr. Dig" printed in blue on it and a length of approx. 160 blocks. A second version has a white label with "Mr. Dig" on top and "Dixon`s Pack" on the bottom printed in black; this one has a length of approx. 200 blocks. The third version does not have a label, instead "Mr. Dig" and "32k Atari" is printed directly on the tape - the tape is three to four times as long as the other tapes, alas I could not get it to load (not side a, not side b with five tries for each side) nor could I copy it... I would not call it a poor man`s version of Mr. Do, it is not as good and much harder as Mr. Do, but still very playable. And most of all, this game is easy to get, you can find it quite often on ebay at low prices, whereas Mr. Do is much harder to find for a quite higher price... -Andreas Koch.

  This was a poor mans version of Mr Do.. don't get me wrong it was nice enough, but it was hardly original =) nice game though.
