How did I not feel a disturbance when this game was developed or even conceived? I am such a huge Dig Dug fan – and have been since its original release and I used to play it at the arcades when my mom was at the grocery store. I have t-shirts. I know that the guy's name isn't Dig Dug, but Hori Taizo. I even helped name a company as a parody on the name of the game. I even own an original cabinet – and the game still works.

And I didn't know about this game until today? I think I may have to hang my head in shame – while playing this on my iPhone.

Then again, if someone put out Rampart I'd probably pay the $6.

I do think these established companies are having a hard time lowering their prices, considering they're re-releasing the same games on other platforms as well. That's why the startups (IMO) are the way to go with the iPhone (and Wii, and I'd assume Xbox arcade, etc.) both in terms of innovation and price. It really reminds me of computer gaming in the 80s, where anyone who had programming skills and a great idea can get a game out there, and that's something that was really lost for a long time in the gaming world.
