You are Dig Dug, the underground miner. With your jet-powered shovel, you
create intricate, subterranean mazes. Ever on the watch for vegetable prizes,
you must also look out for the fierce Fygar(tm) and mean Pooka(tm) that lurk
underground. Their touch kills| Worse, these two meanies can transform into
spooky ghosts that will appear out of nowhere and haunt you to death.
Use your Joystick Controller to dig through the earth in this one-player game.
Your objective: Destroy the meanies who lurk below and uproot the prized
produce. Destroy meanies by using the fire button on your controller to pump
them up until they burst or by drooping boulders on them. To get the
valuable vegetable, dig to it as soon as it appears and cover it completely
by moving Dig Dug over it.
Each round is completed when you destroy all the meanies or when the last
one escapes. The game ends when you lose all your lives.
