I remember when I was a child...
This arcade game still holds up and has aged better than 90% of Namco's early library. The sound, graphics, and gameplay are still as fun as they ever were. Dig Dug needs more representation in the modern age.
🔫One spacegun for the cute aesthetic and nostalgia
🔫One spacegun for being the easiest game for me as a kid and letting me actually get my money's worth as a result!
2 🔫's out of 5

GBA port, game controls are a bit stiff, making it hard to control the player character. Also a couple of bugs in the game, but overall good game. Enjoyable.
Definitely my favorite arcade game to date
literally me.
Actually one of the best arcade games out there.
I do not consider myself part of the inflation community.

I can't explain it, I just love this game
Do not show inflation fetishist this game AT ANY COST
The BEST Namco arcade game HANDS DOWN.
I have to use a lot of caps just to emphasize how GOOD this game is!
Blowing up the red dudes and digging is a BLAST.
Do NOT mess with us Dig Dug super fans by saying this game is bad, IT’S NOT!

Fun little arcade maze-like game where you dig around and pop enemies with your pump or drop rocks on them. Pac-Man vibes but a little more creative with the ways you can approach the game.
Rating: 4 - Great: A runner up on a list of "greatest games ever"

original inflation art
Out of all the classic arcade games, this one will always be my absolute fav and one of the few I can get a really high score in. Last time I came across an actual Dig Dug cabinet I was glued to it for like half an hour

Did you know? The sprites for the dragon enemy, Fygar, getting killed by Dig Dug's pump took a whole day to render! For more information, look up "dragon inflation" on Google images.
Btw pro tip, spamming the attack button while moving makes you pump really fast for some reason

Unique mechanics for an arcade game of its time.
Controlling the digger is a little tricky as he doesn't always want to move left or right when vertical. Enemies can occupy the same space, even at the start of a round, which I don't find cool.
Couldn't get past round 8, but I at least got a Hi-score of 26600.

greatest arcade game ever made
Not my personal favorite of the arcade classics but still really, really fun.
can you imagine how many people got inflation fetishes from Dig Dug
Probably my all-time favorite classic arcade game
Dig Dug was one of those arcade games I can’t resist playing if I am at an arcade. Like most of these classic arcade games I first played it on a plug and play in the early 2000s and immediately got hooked. For those of you who have never played basically this is kinda like a side scrolling maze arcade game where you play as a protagonist with a harpoon gun who digs tunnels into the ground and creates mazes. A fun and unique concept where the player creates the map essentially to eliminate the enemies. The enemies consist of Dragons and these monkey looking things called Pookas. The harpoon gun thing inflates the enemies into ballons, and they burst and the only other way to kill enemies is by strategically crushing them with rocks by dinging under them at the right time. The objective is to kill all of the enemies and the enemies usually become solid in tunnels but can also turn into ghosts and fly though the ground. The last few enemies usually try to escape the stage and whether they do or not the next stage is loaded. That’s basically the gameplay loop for DigDug its simple but feels very unique for its time compared to a lot of the other arcade games that existed. I believe this game is actually beatable and not infinite stages, but I’ve never seen most people get past the first 20 or so stages and I’m pretty sure there are a couple hundred so like most games from that time it gets really hard but out of a lot of the older arcades I actually can usually sweep through a decent number of stages. The music and FX of Dig Dug were always some of my favorite and graphically its nothing too incredible with the screen mostly just being dirt but its still a great classic game that’s pretty balanced and is all about strategically moving around the map and not getting yourself corned. I love old arcade games, but this is one I think I recommend the most because of its fun and unique nature.
10/10
