When underground the monsters can also lose their physical form and turn into “ghost eyes” which allows them to travel through solid dirt (but it does slow them down a bit). While on the surface monsters are only able to move horizontally, however, when they’re underground they’re able to move both horizontally and vertically through tunnels. Now, while the enemy is deflating you can also pass through it safely. It also works wonderfully well if you want to make sure that your enemy stays underneath a rock that you’re planning to crush it with. If your aim is to simply stun the enemy partial inflation is a great way to do so. If a monster is only inflated partially it will eventually deflate and return to chase Dig Dug again. However, to do so players must pump the player up 3 to 4 times until they explode. One of the ways players are able to destroy enemies is via pumping them up with their weapon. You must be careful as you do this though as Dig Dug can die if he ends up being caught by either of the 2 enemies (Pooka and Fygar) or being burned to death by Fygar Fire, or even squashed via rock fall. The 2 different enemies you’ll encounter during gameplay are the Pookas and the Fygars.ĭuring gameplay you, the player will be Dig Dug, a tiny person garbed in US flag colors, Red/white/blue who has the ability to dig tunnels underneath the earth. It seems very simple, right? The means by which Dig Dug destroys these enemies is through either inflating and popping them using an air pump or dropping rocks on top of them. Of these sequels and spin-offs, the most popular are:ĭig Dug is a game that has the sole focus of allowing the main character to destroy enemies who dwell in the underground. There are also a number of sequels and spin-off games that were released after the initial release of Dig Dug. It was initially introduced to the public as a basic arcade game but, over time had versions of itself released for the PC, standard video game systems, and for Nintendo. Even though Namco is the company who produced Dig Dug initially it was later picked up by the game developer Atari. While there is very little information available on the game’s background story there are bits and pieces available that help us gain an understanding of what was going on as it was being developed. It was released in the year 1982 and was almost an instant hit. The games are compatible with PS3, Vita, and PSP.As mentioned above Dig Dug was created by the popular Japanese game producer Namco. Each Namco Museum volume costs 800 yen ($7.75). Hopefully, Namco Bandai will put those on PSN soon. Namco Museum Encore has Wonder Momo, Dragon Saber, and Rolling Thunder on the disc. Namco Museum Volume 5 which hasn’t been re-released has games like Pac-Mania and Legend of Valkyrie. * These games are only in the Japanese version If you haven’t played Ordyne and like shoot ’em ups give Namco’s cutesy shooter a look. These compilations have games like classic Pac-Man, Galaga, The Tower of Druaga, and lesser known games like Ordyne. Namco Bandai released four out of the six Namco Museum collections as PsOne classics in Japan.
