Description
Atari was an arcade powerhouse in the 1980. They also licensed a number of games from various other manufacturers for distribution in North America and Europe. The ended up licensing several big releases from Namco including one of their hits, Dig Dug.
Strangely enough, Atari redesigned all of Namco’s boards, and in the case of Dig Dug more than once. For this reasons the Atari version of Dig Dug has a unique pinout. The pinout is compatible with both versions of Atari Dig Dug, but not compatible with the Namco version or other Atari games licensed from Namco.
