      It was a fairly big hit for Namco and one of the most beloved titles from the 1980-83 "golden age" of arcade games, so it was naturally a candidate for being ported to multiple platforms. I'm surprised it didn't get a ZX Spectrum port, but perhaps it didn't do as well in British arcades as in Japanese and North American arcades-or maybe someone made a clone that beat Atari and Namco to the punch.

    There is actually one version missing that was featured in the PC collection Namco All-Stars (alongside Pac-Man). It features both a Classic and Remake mode, the latter upgrading the graphics to look like the DS game "Digging Strike" - which actually included Round 1 as a tutorial.
    I managed to find it on BigFish games ages ago, but unsure of what other platforms it's available for nowadays.

      C64 Dig Dug is an NTSC game and there is no PAL optimised version (eventho it works on PAL machines, but squashed and slowed as a result). It looks and plays fine at 60Hz. All C64 emulators default to PAL for some reason, so the footage is often altered when it comes to games made for the American units.

    1:33 for the Atari its also pretty good
    2:12 the music doesn't play right also the sprites look copied from Atari 2600's version
    3:07 no words just WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
    3:55 atleast it has the arcade sprites
    4:35 my fav in my opinion
    5:15 uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    5:51 looks odd
    6:49 the arcade version but with better sprites
    7:31 Casio PV 1000 but shitty
    8:11 NEC PC 8001 but a bit slower
    9:06 did you even try?
    9:47 dig dug is so slow the theme song plays before you can even start controlling taizo
    10:35 good for the device its on
    11:05 WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
    12:01 idk why but it kinda looks like the nes version
    13:42 where's the freaking theme song
    14:24 I love this version
    15:03 Casio PV 1000 but with better music
    15:41 another Atari great
    16:16 idk why but I also like this one
    16:48 nes but black and white
    17:25 this isn't dig dug its a masterpiece
    18:25 theme song is high pitched I don't know why
    19:14 the arcade version but the sprites look a bit off
    19:55 higher pitched theme song now
    20:42 the only way people could play original dig dug in 1996
    21:27 hey. Atleast there's multiplayer
    22:04 just the arcade version with yet again high pitched theme song
    22:42 someone took the nes version and shrunk the sprites in ms paint
    23:24 where's the theme song
