Hopefully at least some of you have seen this already today, but I thought I'd share it here too.
After 35 years, the "Digger Dan" trilogy is finally complete! Up until very recently, there were only two Digger Dan games for Atari 8-bit: Diamonds and Dan Strikes Back. But back in April, Simon Hunt, creator of these games, stumbled across my Atari A to Z videos covering them — and accepted a challenge I set the Atari 8-bit community in the second of the two videos.
Basically, I explained the history of the games and said that Hunt had put together a title sequence for a proposed third game in 1986, but it had never got beyond the design phase. I wondered if anyone would step forward and finally finish off the trilogy once and for all?
I most certainly didn't expect the original creator to respond… but, well, here we are. And I'm thrilled to have been part of this.
If you want to read the full story, check out my writeup over on Retrounite today — and be sure to give the three Digger Dan games a go if you haven't already; they're all great fun, including the brand new one!
