Dig Dug
E.C. Meade and Jim Clark of "Videogaming Illustrated" magazine reviewed the Atari 2600 version "Thunderground" in 1983. Despite the original "Borderline" predating "Dig Dug" and "Mr. Do!" (1982), the reviewers were under the impression that "Thunderground" was a "semi-clone" of "Dig Dug" and "Mr. Do!" Despite this, they gave it positive reviews. Meade gave it an A rating; she said "there "are" superficial similarities to "Dig Dug" and "Mr. Do"" but "Thunderground" "is a semi-clone with "muscle"!" She called it "a real challenge" to play, stating "What a game!" Clark gave it a B rating, calling it "a thrilling game" and very "good stuff" but said "the sense of deja-vu detracted from its appeal" while also commenting on its "violence" though he didn't "think anyone will be too bothered."
