Dig Dug
arcade coin-up game for Commodore 64, 1983
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 1.
Dig Dug is a 1-2 player arcade game in which you have to use your shovel
to dig your way through the earth. Stopping you from doing this are
two monsters, called Pooka and Fygar, who will continually chase you around.
The only weapon that you carry is an air pump, which you can use to inflate
the monsters to the point where they explode. (if you start to inflate them
but stop doing so, the monsters will get turned back to their normal selves).
Furthermore, rocks are scattered throughout the earth, and you can use these
rocks to squash them. If the monsters do not find you for several seconds,
they will eventually get turned into ghosts, which can walk through the earth.
They are invincible and cannot be killed. From time to time, vegetables
will appear in the center, and you can get these for points.
