Considering how good he is, he did get sloppy at the end there. For the longest time he was able to minimize the enemies on his tail with either lucky or strategic route planning
You just made me feel very old. I was 14 when I first played this in the arcades in 1982. I also had it on my psp and I have it on my ps4 now. I have got to level 51,but after over 40 years of it I should be good. I still think it is one of the greatest arcade games. It is certainly in my top 20 all time favourites. I am pleased to see other generations enjoying it as much as I do.
What about Super Mario Brothers? You could fall over the ledge. Gotten eaten by one of those green monsters. Getting sucked into that pool on the fish level. Getting hit with the hammers.
@matthewjahnke6956 it's possible he doesn't think she's very popular but if I had to guess she's pretty comparable to dig dug. A lot of people dont know either
First time I played this game was back in the 1980s at Cedar Point in Ohio. It was in a building in the center of the campground for campers and trailers. It was either in 1983 or 84 or possibly 1982 when the game was first released. The cabinet was basically brand new.
I only played this game a couple of times in the 80's. I much preferred Mr Do! over Dig Dug because you got to pick cherries, use big apples instead of rocks, got to use your power ball instead of an air pump, and got an extra life by defeating Alphamonsters with a single letter that eventually spells EXTRA.
A laundromat that I have had both games in that place and I liked them both equally. Also, the SNES/NSFC got a pretty good home port of Mr. Do! as well.
lol good lord. I tried to play this on an arcade machine last week and never got past Level 5. I never had more than one life once I got there. I just couldn't get their routines quite yet, nor control the guy well.
Now I may have not known this game in the 80s - 90s, but in the 2020s decade using the AtGames Blast: Bandai Namco Flashback, and I pretty much enjoyed it although it didn't have the screen at 18:57
So what are we doing here, we are inflating our adversaries with some kind of pump, until they burst? 🤣 why a pump? Has anyone ever defeated any creature in this fashion in all of human history ?! (I guess it makes a little bit more sense than BurgerTime 🍔)
I ruled this game in my area and had ALL the top scores in the arcade that read: ERN 999,990 ERN 999,990 ERN. 999,990 ERN 999,990 ERN 999,990 because at 1 MILLION points the game goes back to ZERO and you Lose your high score!
1. Galaga 2. Ms. PAC Man 3. Pole Position. How come this isn't ported on modern consoles? Licensing issue? 4. Mappy 5. Dig Dug Never went to Arcades. But I did have those small arcade things that went to the TV. Currently have 3 of the games on Xbox.
I thought that I played pole position on the gameboy sp. I don't see why it wouldn't be on the modern consoles. "Prepare to qualify" I always remember hearing that ladies voice over everything else in the arcade.
Surprised the modern Namco Museum versions tend to exclude Pole Position, and I don't understand why they still call it "Namco Museum" and not have it include any kind of info like the PS1 versions had.
Many people are here because of Stranger Things. But my older siblings played this before I was born. And I played this when I was very little and my dad took me to the bowling alley. I remember playing this.
Idk why but it's always amused me greatly how the music stops when you stop moving.
Which is why you dont stop moving
@Joseph Mother lol
Same here. That's what's odd about the Atari 5200 ver, you can stand still and the music keeps going. They didn't fool me!
I used to think the idle music was saying "Evil! Evil! Evil!" like it was warning you of the enemies
@@TheSpacey52 it's def the warning of the enemy sound. When they're ghosting through the walls.
I love DigDug, always been my favorite arcade game.
Same
Nah bro the best is Galaga
Thats just your opinion everyone has different opinions I'm not trying to be rude
@@WBW09I love Galaga, but Dig Dug has been in more of my life then Galaga
I know. I love it when the rock killed both of them. But, you'd have to keep an eye on it too. Why? If you were hit by it, you'd lose a life.
LOVED this game as a kid! It was even at the supermarkets and sandwich shops 😉
A video arcade machine in grocery stores is wild 😳
@@freddyfazbear29470 I know.
I miss this game so much I played this when I was 4😭😭😭
Was you born In 2000
Same 😭
One of the hardest games ever.
This was so fun to see again. Played this back in 1983. The music is SO memorable- Now I can’t get it out of my head again
You don't have to trust me 😉
this is beautiful, I usually just played for fun and to listen to the music/sounds but I never seen anyone get that freaking far
This game was great
In the early 80s its was everywhere even at winn dixie
Super market they had dig dug and missile command loved going with mom to the supermarket as long as I can have 4 quarters
Let’s all pay respects to all of those poor Pookas and Fygars that’s minding their own businesses!!!
Why was dig dug even going into their homes to begin with?

One of my favorite 1980s arcade. The music is what makes it awesome.
Loved this game although I always thought there was something sickly about the way he inflates them to explosion.
Idk why he kills them for no reason
@@jcharmaine1 I guess he's an exterminator?
Especially when they're almost home-free, when they're at the top. They always look so surprised that this is happening to them.
I thought there was lore saying he was mining on their planet or something and literally just mows through them.
@@jcharmaine1 No. Kill or be killed. he's trying to kill them. They're trying to kill him.

Has to have been. They're on level 25! I probably can't make it past level 10!

Aa a kid I used to think he shoved that thing up the enemy bum and pushed air to make them burst 🤣
If this was made for the modern era, there'd be monster guts everywhere!
Amazing games 😂 I remember i used to spend some of the groceries money playing this game

I played this as a kid on a Commodore 64. To me, the Pooka enemy seemed like a frying pan with eyes and legs. 😂
I used to play this all the time on my 3ds
I didn't know dig dug was on 3ds?
Most stressful game i played as a kid.

Got highest score at my local arcade on this game! love it to death.
Never give a smurf an air pump.

The second most recognizable namco character after pacman
What about Mrs. Pacman? Or do you not consider that namco?

40 anniversary of dig dug
Dig Dug vs Shovel Knight, the battle of the digging heroes
I used to play this on my namco plug-and-play collection.
I love this game when I was little. 😃😃😃
I used to play this on this Pac-Man controller that connected to my tv when I was like 6

Hours of just busting out laughing to the music and how it'd stop when you stopped moving.. ah simpler times
I play this game when I was a 9 year old back 2006 gameboy

I had all of them! Every single one!
A game more than 40 years old
one of my favs
I remember that game but the sound effects were different. There were blowing up sounds when you hit enemies, and bursting sounds when they blew up!
FENOMENALNA GRA . Pozdrawiam Wszystkich Polaków.

Who is here because they got the music in their head and got reminded of this charm.
I have a pac man console and i play dig dug on it when i have time to
my favorite was playing that and Moon Patrol...in 1982
I can't play this game I'll start cracking up bc the way the Martian walks and runs 😂😂😂😂😂
To get the good ending: get where the normal ending is then it will glitch after the messages delete the new file and just wait
That’s all!
Was that an inspiration for the good old flash game called Motherload? I don't exactly remember.
I’m on a nostalgia trip
One of Namco's cute heroes. Pity they didn't chose him for SSBU.
