Playing Dig Dug in MAME, using the arcade ROM extracted from the Steam version of Arcade Game Series: Dig Dug.

I followed the extraction directions here: https://github.com/farmerbb/RED-Project/wiki/Arcade-Game-Series

and am running Dig Dug using these command-line parameters in a Windows shortcut to mame.exe (version 0.119, from 2007, the last pre-64-bit version; couldn't get it to run in more recent MAMEs):

digdug -video gdi -joystick -volume -22

[Update 4/26: Checking the DIP Switch settings from MAME's in-game TAB menu, it defaulted to Easy; various high score lists say to use Medium, so I guess I'll switch to that for next time. ^ _^]

15:45 - high score run
25:04 - wrap!

Looks like my highest recorded Dig Dug score is 119580 --that was with the Namco Museum Vol. 3 version on PS1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1a7LYPB4lA ; close second is 115370 pts with the Arcade Archives version on PS4, which at the time was 16th on the leaderboard, the highest non-Japanese score : P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9qM_mXnl9U . So I've got a good ways to go in this arcade version to catch up to those!
