Mr. Do - The One For You!

Mr. Do is one of Coleco's recent arcade-to-home conversions which still is a big hit in the arcades.

The Universal coin-op introduced the cute little dwarf - Mr Do — whose role in life is to gather all the cherries and avoid the nasties. The nasties take the form of Badguys, Alpha Monsters, Diggers and Blue Chompers.

Move around the screen by making passageways as you walk, Dig Dug-fashion.

Mr. Do!

The nasties can be squashed by pushing the apples on top of them to score extra points. Your only other defence against nasties is a rubber ball which you can throw at them – bouncing it off the walls and ceilings of the passageways.

To earn an extra life, Mr Do has to kill all the letters that appear from time to time on the Alpha Monsters. When these have all been killed and placed in the grid, they spell the word – EXTRA.

As with all Coleco games, this cartridge features four different skill levels as well as one and two player options for added interest.

Mr. Do is a fun game to play with cute, arcade-authentic graphics.

If you enjoyed playing the game in the arcades, you will enjoy this home version as well. The game is in the shops now at £29.95.

The Verdict

Accurate conversion of the popular arcade game.
