About Mr. Do!

Mr. Do! is an arcade game created by Universal in 1982. Similar in some ways to Namco's popular Dig Dug title, Mr. Do! was also popular and saw release on a variety of home video game consoles and systems. It is the first game in the Mr. Do series, and was released both as a standalone game and as a conversion kit (released by Taito Corp.) for existing arcade cabinets. It was one of the first arcade games to be released as a conversion kit, and went on to sell 30,000 units in the United States. It was also a popular choice on the 1983 video arcade-based game show Starcade.

Coleco's 2600 conversion of the Mr. Do! arcade game, a fair buy for collectors of arcade ports.

Mr. Do! was a 1982 Universal arcade maze game inspired by Namco's Dig Dug. Coleco published the 2600 version in North America in September 1983, programmed by Ed English at Individeo, who also made Coleco's 2600 Roc'n Rope.

Little is documented about how the 2600 version was received.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 7October 1983Graphics ★½ · Play-Action ★½

“With the quality of the 2600 games we've seen from several companies this year, this is a very disappointing game and certainly not worth adding to your library.”

— Computer Entertainer, October 1983

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

  • ColecoVision. Computer Games gave the ColecoVision and Coleco Adam conversions a B+ in 1985.
  • Super NES. Electronic Gaming Monthly's reviewers enjoyed the Super NES version but criticized its lack of enhancements to a decade-old game, especially at a price of over $50.
  • Neo Geo. Neo Mr. Do!, made by Visco under license from Universal, brought the game to SNK's Neo Geo in 1997.

Before you buy

Low risk. No reproductions are documented. Loose carts are inexpensive, and complete copies cost several times as much, so the box and manual carry most of a complete copy's value.
