10/14/2015 - Arcade Token Mailing Update Arcade
Token Mailing Update 2015 It has been several months since we first announced our 2015 Arcade Token Give Away. Since that time we have been
busy packaging coins, stuffing envelopes, and checking addresses. We are finally ready to announce that we will start mailing
tokens on November 1st. Prize winners will also be notified during this time.
We have also created a brand new
collectible arcade token in honor of the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. You can learn more about this cool new coin HERE. If you can't make it to the show, do not worry, we have created a way for you to receive this coin, and all future coins
for the following year.
We would also like to announce
our new "Collector's Club." This club will allow anyone who has at least 5 of our previous tokens. All you need
to do is send a picture of your collection to our contact email address. contact@digthatbox.com. The club is limited to 100 members. Being a member guarantees that you
will receive all the new coins for the upcoming year. If you have already entered our contest for this year, be sure to let us know in
your email. Also, if you are a member of Cheap Ass Gamer or Atari Age.com, please put the name of either site
in the subject line of your email. We will make sure you get a token. Special thanks to everyone who has supported this
wonderful promotion. Without your support none of this would be possible. Thank you also for your patience during the long
wait to receive new tokens. This is a very time consuming process and the entire mailing is always handled by one person.
In the future we have plans to streamline the contest and mailing process, so that you get your coins soon after they are revealed
on our site. Stay tuned! Sincerely, Your Friends at DigThatBox.com

to produce a game that is inspired by Evel’s skill, flair and charisma. Young fans of motorcycle games should

10/12/2015 - Digfender from Mug Shot Games Hits 2 Million DownloadsMugshot Games digs deep and uncovers DIGFENDER, the follow-up to their
#1 mining and tower defense hit, CastleMine, downloaded over 2 million times.
Launching for free on iPhone/iPad,
Android and Windows Phone, Digfender digs deep into tower defense, challenging players to hunt for
resources underneath their castle while battling monsters rising from below.
Mugshot Games first introduced the
digging concept to tower defense in their 2012 hit, CastleMine, which has been downloaded over 2
million times.
Digfender has been over a year in development and a considerable investment
for Steve and Mike, who hope to introduce new players to the tower defense genre. Mugshot Games’ founder Steve Yap says,
“My hope when designing Digfender was to provide a fun and accessible experience for all players while also providing
new layers of strategy and surprises for tower defense veterans.”
Steve and Mike are committed to building
Mugshot Games’ reputation for fun, accessible and player-friendly games. Digfender’s
in-app purchases are entirely optional and the game doesn't include paywalls or wait-timers.
Digfender
will be released on the App Store, Google Play and Windows Phone Store on November 5.
