Dig Dug
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).

About This Game
Taizo Hori, an industrious underground laborer, descends into the depths of the earth where he confronts a peculiar infestation of burrowing creatures. Armed with his wits and determination, he must navigate through the soil, carving passages as he searches out and neutralizes the monsters that lurk beneath the surface. The fate of the underground realm rests on his ability to outmaneuver these subterranean threats and reclaim the tunnels from their grasp.
