Is it still worth playing?
You dig underground tunnels in each level to eliminate its enemies, the round, red Pookas, who wear comically large goggles, and the fire breathing Fygars, in this 1982 arcade maze game. He can use an air pump to inflate them until they burst, or crush them under falling rocks. When the pump is fired, Dig Dug stops moving and throws its end forward, and a hit enemy is frozen while the player presses the button to inflate it. If the player moves or waits, the pump disconnects and the enemy slowly deflates. Rocks cannot be dug through and fall shortly after the tile beneath them is removed. Digging your own tunnels and dropping rocks on enemies is a plan that is still fun to carry out.
