Dig-Dug

Not to pat myself on the back or anything, but I made something exactly like this five years ago out of Legos and it’s still sitting on the shelf next to my records. I can’t believe someone would pay $15 for something like this.

  1. Pics, please!

    Also, some of us would endure an enema if it meant getting halfway decent classic gaming merchandise. Hence, why we spend $5 on a keychain with Mario on it on $15 on a Lite Brite wanna-be.

  2. P.S. – I meant pictures of your lego construction.

  4. I’ll try to get a pic taken. I’m not kiding when I say that it’s exactly like the lite-brite thingie, except with Legos. It’s a pixel-for-pixel reconstruction of Dig-Dug on one side and a Pooka on the other side, each with a black background. If you wanna make one yourself, take a screenshot of your favorite old-school game, zoom in on a small section in photoshop, print it out, and then meticulously rebuild your printed picture out of whatever legos you have lying around. I originally wanted to make Mario, but I didn’t have any tan-colored bricks. Pac-Man, Galaga, Frogger, or Q-Bert might be easier to make.
