The History of Mr. Do! Arcade documentary

[@ashleyschfer7483]

Played it almost everyday on my break at work. Level 31 was my favorite and I could go thru all 99 levels over and over. I will never forget the first time I won a free credit getting a diamond on level 8.

[@thanto575]

Brilliant. Who would've thought 1982 factored into so many diverse and iconic games. Played Mr. Do on Colecovision and was by far the most popular.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It was a great conversion on that system I had it as a kid as well

[@angelique___5607]

Best arcade game, ever. Absolutely legendary. NEVER gets enough credit. So much retro lurve for this game!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I agree 100% :-)

[@SomeOrangeCat]

I remember playing Mr Do's Castle. It was in the "amusement room" at a hotel on the south side of town that sadly no longer exists.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Back when arcade games were pretty much everywhere :-)

[@Gamevet]

I never saw that game in an arcade, because I'd lived in a small town. We did have a Mr. Do! cabinet though. The 1st and only time I've played Mr Do's Castle was on my C64. It appears to be a pretty good conversion.

[@GRIMLOCK07]

Ah, thank goodness for M.A.M.E. Mr. Do's Castle was fun. I had the version without the cherry blocks in my neighborhood, so you had to kill the unicorns in order to get to the next stage. That Blue Unicorn became a problem MANY a times, especially when it started multiplying.

[@shawbros]

@@GRIMLOCK07 That thing was scary.

[@richardsantalone9380]

@@shawbros And VERY FAST too! If you were playing the version without the cherry blocks, you would be dead in about a minute due to the blue unicorns multiplying. If you were playing the cherry block version, you would need to be very smart AND lucky to knock out all the cherry blocks!

I was absolutely addicted to this game in the past. Spent literally HOURS on it. One of my all time favourites. I have played all the Mr Do games. Mr Do, Mr Do Wild Ride and Mr Do's Castle.

Mr. Do is one of the few games I kick butt on. And that's because it's my favorite and couldn't keep from playing it repeatedly. It's still my favorite video game. It's fast and furious fun. Provided the freakin' joystick works! Also one of the few games you can not only win free lives throughout, but free games with the diamond!

A lot of people say it's just a Shameless dig Dug clone but it's a lot more than that.

[@kyleolson8977]

Mr. Do is a classic, and was well known at the time, but despite having multiple games, and unlike so many of the similar early classics, the game and character haven't had much of a legacy. He feels very stuck in the early 1980s. I can only assume that's because the property was dormant after Universal stopped producing arcade games.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I'm surprised His legacy has a carried on as well considering how populaR the game was. There were numerous conversions as well as three full-blown sequels.

[@SonnyGTA]

Mr. Do’s Castles song is my favorite!

[@doctorgravel8572]

One thing I remember about playing the arcade version of Mr. Do's Wild Ride is that you could get two free games if you turned the machine off and on and then rotated the joystick three times counter clockwise.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's awesome, I had never heard that

[@realmchat6665]

You forgot to mention that Universal was also working on a prototype laserdisc game starring Mr. Do, tentatively named "Adventure Mr. Do". it was planned for release on March 1985 for the Universal System-1 cabinet as a replacement kit for "Super Don Quixote".

I love how the "Neo Mr. Do!" had cute little cutscenes besides the gameplay! ^^ I think the cutscenes gave Mr. Do alot more character and personality than the other games of just collecting cherries and defeating the enemies getting to the next level. :) I wish they continued it after that one though. :(

Thanks for the info! Sounds like a very cool find indeed

[@Buford_T_Justice1]

I grew up in the pool hall my dad owned for 25 years. He always had 2 or 3 arcade games going. In 1985 he got a Mr. Do machine. My brother and I figured out that if you unplug it and then plug it back in, you got a free credit. Needless to say we spent hours playing Mr. Do for free. Too bad Galaga didn’t do the same trick!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is very cool, your dad didn't give you free credits? I found a similar exploit in Mario brothers where if you lifted up on the coin release mechanism you could insert a nickel and it would give you a credit. So for a dollar I got to play 20 games LOL this is why I'm so good at the game nowadays

[@Buford_T_Justice1]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries My brother and I went there to work, but after our chores were done, the old man would give us a handful of quarters to play.

Out of the Mr. Do sequels, Do! Run Run is my personal favorite. Plays somewhat like an improved version of the original Mr. Do, but with some inspiration taken from Pac-Man and Qix. The graphics are nice and colorful, the gameplay is engaging, and the music is surprisingly good for a 1984 arcade game - it sounds like something from an early 90s Game Boy title

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I always preferred the original but haven't spent anywhere near as much time with the follow-up.

[@michaelbumgardner771]

I used to get the blue monsters "stuck" for some reason by the falling apple. I would eat all the cherries except one, and clear all the grass, them eat that last cherry. I did that a few times. The amount of quarters i spent on this game back in 1983! 😂❤

[@TheMathius78]

Amazing video, Pat! Mr. Do was never on my radar while I was a kid but nowadays these simple, single-screen arcade games appeal to me more and more as the years go by. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a SNES or X68000 copy. Too bad the MSX came out looking so poor. My MSX2+ sure could use another game to play on it.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks, never had a chance to play with the MSX2 . How was the Lineup of software?

[@TheMathius78]

It wasn't nearly as prolific as the MSX but did receive good coverage from both Konami and Compile. If you have a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence on PS2 or the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on PS3 you can play the original MSX2 Metal Gear 2 as a bonus to get a sense of it's graphics and sound capabilities. I personally use a flash cart on my machine since game prices are so unfair these days. There's a FM synth chip in the MSX2 that gives a lot of its games a nice, warm tone. Incidentally that same FM chip was used in the Japanese Sega Master System.

Funny how most of the clips completed the level by collecting the cherries. If I recall this was not the stergy most users used, the cherries would be used to time the extra letter. The level was usually completed by killing the last monster.

[@chad0x]

When the engineer came to our local arcade and fixed th broken universal Mr Do! machine, he changed the colours. Instead of the off red Mr Do and apples, they were proper red. Looked MUCH better. Nobody else I ever spoke to has seen this and most think I dreamed it. I didn't. Mr Do! with those washed out colours is *wrong*

Loved Dig Dug but loved this a little more. Could only ever play the arcade version at the second closest public swimming pool so it was a rare treat. But when i got an emulator on PC I played it obsessively. Enjoyed Mr Do's Castle and Wild Ride but they really didn't feel like a continuation at all, so they might as well have been called anything. Do Run Run felt like a real sequel but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the original. Neo Geo just felt like a knockoff that was trying to hard to both be the original and be flashy. So it didn't feel fresh or nostalgic and I didn't play it much at all. Always wondered what the deal was with the Astroboy theme. How was that not a copyright issue?

With Mr.Do! (I had it on Atari XL) I particularly like the many interactions and chain reactions of many small objects on a single screen. Things move here less jerky than in Boulder Dash and no scrolling spoils overview. The IMO only other game with such a tight single screen interaction density was "Millipede" (which I had on VCS2600).

Do Run Run is an under rated classic......so is Wild Ride

Mr Do will always make me think of an infamous criminal from Philly named Gary Heidnik, who was the influence of Buffalo Bill in the movie, "Silence of the Lambs." Jacquelyn Askins, former prostitute: He told me he would give me money to go with him for a half-hour. When we got to his house, we was playing this video game called Mr. Do. And like a half-hour or 45 minutes later, he grabbed me in a headlock with his arm around my neck choking me. … He took me to the basement
