Arcade Game: Dig Dug (1982 Namco)

- čas přidán 9. 03. 2015
- An classic maze/digging game influencing many later digging games.
The screen shows a cutaway view of the land, most of which is below ground. The player controls the Dig Dug character who travels through and digs tunnels in the dirt. The object is for Dig Dug to destroy monsters by pumping them up or dropping rocks on them and to capture vegetables.
Game play takes place on a cutaway section of the land. The characters are Dig Dug and 2 monsters - one is a round, orange monster with goggles called Pooka, the other is a green, fire-breathing dragon named Fygar. The underground area is divided into 4 different colored layers of dirt. Rocks are scattered in the dirt. The sky is at the top of the screen.
The player controls Dig Dug, the hero of the garden, clad in white. He moves through horizontal and vertical tunnels. When Dig Dug digs new tunnels he moves slowly. When he is on the surface or in an existing tunnel, he moves faster. The object of the game is for Dig Dug to destroy all the monsters and go to the next round.
Monsters are trapped in caves. A monster may get out of a cave two ways. Dig Dug may dig him out. Then, the monster chases Dig Dug. The monster may also get out of the cave by turning into a ghost. As a ghost, he cannot be destroyed. The ghost does not travel in the tunnels. He travels through the dirt, and can travel diagonally. However, he reappears as the monster when he goes into a tunnel.
The monsters move faster than Dig Dug in vertical tunnels and slower on the surface. They destroy Dig Dug by catching him. In addition, Fygar can destroy Dig Dug by breathing fire on him. Fygar can only breathe fire horizontally. The fire can penetrate the dirt.
Dig Dug destroys the monsters by pumping them up until they burst, or by causing rocks to drop on them. To pump up and destroy a monster, the player presses and holds down the pump button. It is possible to stun a monster for a few seconds by pressing the pump button once or twice. While a monster is stunned, Dig Dug may pass over him without being destroyed. If 2 monsters are very close together, only one may be stunned. The other will catch and destroy Dig Dug.
Dig Dug must dig tunnels under the rocks to get them to drop. A rock may fall in a vertical or horizontal tunnel. A rock also goes through a thin layer of dirt from one tunnel to the next. In a vertical tunnel, Dig Dug may stay directly under a rock and it will not drop. However, in a horizontal tunnel, Dig Dug must move out from under a rock right away, or he will be crushed.
After two rocks are dropped, a vegetable (worth extra points, see Scoring below) appears in a tunnel in the center of the screen. Dig Dug has 10 seconds to capture (touch) the vegetable or it will disappear. There is only one vegetable per round.
The game progresses by rounds. Round 1 starts with four monsters (one Fygar and three Pookas) and three rocks. The vegetable is a carrot. One flower on the surface (top right of the screen) represents Round 1. Two flowers represent Round 2, etc. As the rounds progress, the monsters move a little faster, and are better at avoiding falling rocks. In each round, the last monster tries to escape. If he is not caught by Dig Dug, he exits on the surface (top left).
The game ends when all of Dig Dug's lives are used up. A player may continue to play at the beginning of the same round (level) by following instructions on the screen. He has 16 seconds to insert a coin(s). Then he must push and hold the pump and start buttons at the same time.
Note: Invincibility Cheat was used only had 1 life left. The game has 100 levels and it's endless. I killed myself afterwards. - Hry

This game has 255 levels, afterwards the 256th round is a killscreen in which an enemy is placed on top of the player automatically killing him, thus making the round unplayable.
+NeoTurboManiac 78 Are you serious 255 levels in this game dude thats too much man
I've done it on one credit. It took me around 5 and a half hours to do. It is a drag once you get to the slowdown levels, which is round 136, because you want to get the points, but the enemies move extremely slow when traveling through the dirt. The speed picks up little by little once you get towards the end.
+NeoTurboManiac 78 Can you tell me how I can do the invincibility cheat so that way no enemies can kill me
+nbglowrock12 That I can't help you with. I only play Dig Dug on an arcade machine.
+NeoTurboManiac 78 Did you know that you can play old arcade games on our computer its an emulator called mame
Oh man. I absolutely loved playing this game on my gameboy advance when I was a kid. I had so much fun
Holy shit same dude. I had a namco arcade pack for the gameboy and played this, Ms. Pac Man and Galaga all day long
I like how the music plays only when he’s running
For a conceptually simple premise this game was extraordinarily hypnotic.I just watched this for 15 minutes without realizing it and had to tear myself away.
This arcade game is part of Namco Museum.
I like how the last remaining enemy on screen flees for its life when you're nearly done clearing the stages.
As he should
@@GamerKing50 Understandable.
When ever I got the last remaining one i would smile when it dies@@GamerKing50
"You Know i despise Dig Dug" - Keith 🤣🤣🤣
One of my fav. games back in the days...
Man, so many quarters I spent on this game. Classic.
Me too
Namco games is all ways fun to play..the old school 80games..still rulers
So I remember 4 games coming on the computer from factory.. windows 96 / 97/ 98 .... what were the other games.. pac-man, the racing game, dig dug
Im 12 and these games are the reason im a 80s person i wish I was born back then
I love this game when I was like 6
I dotno
I’m 15 and I’ve never seen this game in an arcade
As an 80's kid (I was born in 1979 😊) I got the chance to play Dig Dug on the Atari 2600
Your time was better than this time
A nice chilled out game of Dig Dug. NO STRESS!
Im here because of Dustin and Madmax in Stranger Things ^^
"After a long time, the tree sap would get hard and become fossilized, just like a dinosaur bone, preserving the mosquito inside."
I always loved how the last bad guy trys to do a runner
Favorite arcade game of all time.
This is absolutely idiotic game but absolutely addictive. Brings back sweet memories.
I played boulderdash first then repton and didn't know about this game until recently. This looks like it invented the genre.
1:56 LOL you spiked yourself with that rock LMAO
I didn't even know you could get crushed by a rock in this 🎮
dig dug man: infates O N E enemy
inflation fetish artists: *this will be a fine addition to my collection*
Most comments talk about Stranger Things. I remember when I was little that when I went to the bowling alley with my father and siblings we saw this game.
They had this game at my local arcade in Brooklyn back in the 80s. I still live in Brooklyn, but in a different part.
@@CreesNostalgiaHut this and roller skating, damn.
I actually got a Namco video game collection for Xmas 2016. I didn’t even know ST existed till 2018 😂.
Where the fuk is dave when you need em Alvin getting robbed every day the dmv was sponsored by monster truck so was the social security office *******
@@CreesNostalgiaHut I know I'm late. But it's great to see a fellow New Yorker here.
I really love Dig Dug.
I always love this game I play this on Namco Museum 2001 Namco Museum 50th Anniversary 2005 and Namco Museum Virtual Arcade 2008 Dig Dug appear in lots of namco museum games
I wish this game was my childhood 😢
I first played this in 2001 via the Namco Collection on the PS2.
That old arcade is so fun, not to mention the music (especially when you stand still). Memories.
I didn’t play this on any like retro console. But I used to play it on my ps3 since I had the Namco Arcade Game. So I do feel some nostalgia.
The mix of music and need to get to high levels makes this game addicting.
Hacia como 33 años que no veía este juego de arcade. Era mi favorito.
Super juegazo ...yo tenía como 11 años por ahí ... En esos años 👌👌😆😃😃
Stanger things 2 mad max episode 1
Recuerdo este juego..era un clásico!!!
Dig dug looks like a Smurf
True
Silly, but cute game 😋❤️
53:50 Nice seeing you make the rock fall on all, but one of the enemies!
god i loved dig dug when i was a kid
His name has gotta be Doug. Dig, Doug, Dig !!!
I can't remember how many levels I beat playing this game but it's really fun
Aaaay, Elmoy! It's me! From the Kwings streams!
Cool I put my real name
I hoped, to find a man, who is playng the game better than me 35 years ago. I am dissapointed. But I thnk, that the 100 levels were never played under real conditions!
I can’t wait to play this game
I joined a stranger things discord server because I thought they'd be into obscure stuff due to the subject matter of the show but they didn't even know what Earthbound was.
What does dig dug have to do with stranger things?
@@jcharmaine1look at season 2 episode 1
Love this game
Memories flooding back
This video makes me want to play Namco Museum Volume 3!
Holy shit! Same thing here! I remember first downloading that game through Playstation Home from playing an Arcade.. Ahh, those were the days. RIP PS Home
I Have the NAMCO MUSEUM Game on My Game Boy Advance... It Has DIG DUG, POLE POSITION, GALAGA, GALAXIAN, and Ms. PAC-MAN
@@aaronbruceladner1983 for me i got all five.
I have that game, too, as well as Namco Museum 64.
this game is fun such as digger which is almost the same but more beautiful and exciting
My first exposure of dig dug is namco meuseum 64 on the n64
Great game
Same.
I didn't really get into this game until I went to college and it was one of the few games in the game room.
kilroy987 when did you get to college?
Yup, I remember this growing up.
SO COOL
cool 🎮
CHILDHOOD
Taizo be done killing those poor Pookas. :
And those poor fygars too :/
What a really cool game, Hopefully my screen won’t make a cracked hole and show a Spooky Red Faced Child on it…
my best old game
Good
When you realize this is basically "Inflation Fetish: The Game"...
Oh my god you’re right
Um, NO!!
have you heard of wicked pump
When you realize this game is just among us after the imposter kills all the crewmates and goes after their pets next
Bruh
I like this game
Taizo Hori: Lord and Savior
*mad max has entered the chat*
Playing in cheat mode never made any sense to me..Its like bowling with the safety guards on , I mean does it make you feel like a big man or something?
..Sorry i just dont get it.
I agree. I don't understand the point of even playing the game if you're going to use a cheat.
+etil hcir 1:52 He's 15 seconds into the game and already drops a rock on himself.. I don't think the video would have been much longer without the cheats.
MrBeard17 lol your comment cracked me up just now. I understand what you mean with the cheats and it helping you along while playing. But with a video of it, I don't see the purpose. But that's my own gaming style preference really.
I think he’s just trying to do a walkthrough or something...
Using save states to make videos is fine, using cheats just looks lame.
Now you know why im poor today. Every evening in the 80s. OMG. What a fun.
searching this arcade coz wathing stranger things S2 E1, damn.... i play this game when i was a kid..... pretty good game .....
Que nostalgia....!!!!!
Video game cool
One thing I always found interesting about Dig-Dug, when you inflate the enemies from the front it looks like you're inflating them via their bellybutton.
Inflation kink incoming
Why do degenerates have to spread everywhere on the internet?
@@45calebt I don't think they intended it to be like that.
@@45calebt
aw cmon, what's wrong with inflation fetishes?
@@DTheAustralianI mean i dont care if you like that .
I actually played dig dug today on a arcade which has donkey Kong donkey Kong 3 pac man galga centipede and many more 1900’s games
You made short work of level 94 - masterclass!
Cool
This gives me nostalgia... I was born in 2001
when a 20 yo talks about nostalgia XD
dont tell the flat earthers, you can dig your way out! LOL
Nostalgia train
I remember playing this at Straw Hat Pizza in California in the 1980's. I remember all the sounds and noises like it was yesterday. This is painful watching you play though.
Wow did Luffy run the restaurant?
Tell me what meeting Chopper was like
Don't know why but this game used to scare me when I was little, but regardless this is pretty nostalgic.
Probably because he literally popped his enemies by puffing up their insides with pressure.
The pooka and Fygar violence!
Murder
Please, how to get a invincibility cheat mode in this game? Thanks
Anywhere past about the first 30 rounds looked almost impossible to do without dying, unless in cheat mode like here. Rounds 50 - 100 are impossible, nobody would ever see them without this cheat mode, which wasn't able to be done on the old arcade games, programming cheat mode into these games was a more modern technology invention only able to be done on computer, arcade games, Nintendo, etc. didn't have such a thing. But what's weird is (I think anyway) this game was still originally programmed to have over 100 rounds, even though it wasn't possible to get there
He had a cheat mode on at the end, right? I see enemies just running into him! 🤷🏻♂️
@@boofgedder9809 Appreciate the reply! 😀
Well i dont care if he is
I have a very faint memory of having a atomic purple gameboy color with donkey kong and a cartridge that you could choose games such as
Galaga
PacMan
DigDug
Super Mario Broa Deluxe
Pokemon Red Blue And Yellow all in one cartridge like on the menu it would give you a choice of what games you want to play I would play that thing 24/7
You guys probe don't believe me but my dad modded it him self he got a chip that contained data from all those games and put it in a black cartridge
Those were the days
I believe you and I would love to have a cartridge or disc with a bunch of games on it!
You can do that ? Holy shit that’s dope
Well say thanks to your dad for that
The Arcade Version ends on Stage 256 (Kill Screen), but on PS1 VERSION (NAMCO MUSEUM VOLUME 3), the Stage 256 killscreen bug is gone. Making the DigDug PS1 version an endless game.
My ps4 has the same thing
Such violence!
I heard someone say that they thought that this was where the inflation fetish came from.
i seriously wish dig dug had more games i mean there was “dig dug 2, dig dug arcade arrangement and dig dug arrangement remastered version”
THOSE ARE ALL I KNOW wait there was also dig dug digging strike BUT YEA THATS ALL I KNOW.
This game had an infamous killscreen on stage 256.
Ah, so there was an "ending" of sorts! Notice too it calls the level you died on, "A1".
I have never made it this far into the game of DIG DUG 1982 @ 7:50
Nathan Schwabenland wow just wow
I have actully I made it to level 40 before dying
6:40 〜 why?
Mad Max
chillin here before his smash reveal
i wish he got into smash, he seems kinda good and would fit
What level does the player become immune to fire and monsters touching him???
No such thing. This playthrough was done with cheats enabled.
@@NeoTurboManiac78 ah ok. I thought i just didnt advance to that level.
best I ever got was round 10 because after 10 rounds of *dededededededede* I wanted to smash my GC controller on my face.
bruh
lmao didn't expect you here
bruh I made it to 19
Hi Everyone, i´m looking for An old arcade game that was supposed to move diamond blocks in a maze. At least a name. I can´t find it anywhere. Thanks
i´ve finally found, it´s "Pengo"
6:46 was kind of an amazing clutch
i play i get no views man btw which website you playyin on?
how r u not losing a life when u touch an enemy?
did u cheat?
Read the description it says at the bottom
it’s in description also i’m pretty sure there was a button inside the machine and it will make you invisible to enemies
brutal
I played this game on windows 98 but the sound effects were not the same. The music was different (Or not present at all) and there was a sound effect which sounded like blowing up a balloon when you hit enemies. And when they died there was a bursting sound effect.
Different version
0:03 the dig dugs are coming.
Madmax play this game
Nobody asked how that pump is actually getting inside those poor monsters? That is sad. Like a colonoscopy gone horribly wrong. =)
Lol
Scratch marks prob
While he's "digging", it sounds like the beginning of "Teenage Wasteland" by "The Who".
The rocks look like chocolate bunnies to me when I was a kid.
