Reviews for Dinky Digger (#1398)

Was this written to take the piss? Your man moves so slow avoiding enemies is impossible. Imagine paying £6.95 for this in 1983.

Wow what a truly appalling game. Bad controls, bad gameplay, bad everything. This is an example where 1 is too good a score and we should be giving it minus points instead.

1983 Postern ltd (UK)

Written in 1983 and inspired by the arcade classic Mr.Do, this Spectrum clone is one of the worst games I've played. Keys are hard to figure out without instructions, and while you hit the keyboard trying to figure out which keys to use, you lose a life, then comes the dreadful annoying tune while you wait for another go. That alone is enough to make me hate the game.

Finally knowing which keys to use I come to the conclusion that it's virtually impossible to progress in the game, because our cute little character Dinky moves so slow in comparison to it's enemies, who move fast, that you hardly move a few steps before turning into food.
So what is the point?
Awful.
