"Classic Game Room HD reviews DIGGER for PS3 Playstation 3, a remake of the 1983 PC computer game by Windmill Software. Digger is downloadable from the Playstation Network and has several new additions that the PC version was without. First of all it has HD graphics and looks great. Digger has been remastered, reworked and re-designed... BUT, it also has the original version of digger with emulated CGR graphics! Fans of the old school classic will be overjoyed to see this."-Classic Game Room
Treasure hunting can be oh so much fun, and while many games released today like Uncharted and Tomb Raider feature treasure hunting personalities like Nathan Drake and Laura Croft, back in 1983 we had the Digger. The Digger was a cool little car that dug in the earth in search of emeralds and had to do battle with evil monsters who tried to stop him. It was as simple and unforgiving as that. Games nowadays have an easy out for the player in the form of continues and checkpoints but back in 1983 with the original Digger, there was no such mercy. You had three lives and if you lost them you started over from the first level, which frustrated the heck out of you, but that is how games were back then.
Massachusetts based Creat Studios is a group that have been developing games for over 10 years (most notably Tony Hawk's Motion on the DS and Coded Arms: Contagion on the PSP), but they have only recently begun publishing games on the PlayStation Network. They created really solid puzzle games with Mahjong Tales: Ancient Wisdom, Cuboid and Magic Ball and have since released new downloadable content for these popular games to keep gamers' minds puzzling.
Creat Studios is also working on Smash Cars, a follow up to the developer's 2003 no rules radio controlled racing game, as well as two other PlayStation Network games announced at E3, Digger and Mushroom Wars, and their first DSiWare game, Alien Havoc.
El33tonline caught up with Creat Studios' Director of Business Development, Scott Hyman, recently to find out a bit more about their new games. Find out how Smash Cars differs to Sony and Microsoft's offerings, in what ways Digger will appeal to a modern audience while staying true to its roots and what will make Mushroom Wars an accessible Tower Defense game.
