Controlling the titular character, the player's objective is to eliminate the enemies on each screen; these being Pookas, red tomato-like creatures with comically large goggles, and Fygars, green dragons that can breathe fire. Dig Dug can defeat these enemies by using a bike pump to inflate them with air until they explode, or by crushing them under large falling rocks. Bonus points are awarded for squashing multiple enemies with a single rock, and dropping two rocks in a round will cause a bonus item to appear in the middle of the screen, which can be eaten for points. Once all the enemies have been defeated, Dig Dug will progress to the next round.\n\nThe enemies can travel through solid dirt to reach the player, where only their eyes will be shown. Inflated enemies pose no threat to the player, allowing Dig Dug to pass through them without harm.\n\nThe game will play a short jingle when Dig Dug moves, abruptly stopping when he becomes idle.\n\nIf the player takes too long to clear a round, the enemies will become faster and much more aggressive, indicated by a short jingle.\n\nLater rounds feature variations in the color of the dirt, while increasing the movement speed of the enemies.\n\nAt 20000 points and then every 50000 points (70000 for the Expert difficulty level; 90000 for the Master difficulty level), the player earns an extra life, for a maximum of 7 lives.\n\nKick back, grab a drink and a snack, sit back and enjoy the review!\n\nLET THE GAMES BEGIN!\n\nFollow me on social media and remember to subscribe for more Retro game reviews.
