There are a few scattered throughout the soil and creating a tunnel underneath will cause them to drop crush an enemy with it and you will be awarded more points than if you'd taken them out with the air-pump. Whichever button you opt to use it inflates the enemy until they pop, giving you one less to worry about and awarding you some points, too.Īn alternative way to defeat the Pookas and Fygars is to drop a rock onto their head. Get close to one of the troublesome creatures and you can fire the pump at them using the A or B button – or actually any button you've mapped to one of the two in the Virtual console menu. To clear each round you must dispatch the enemies, and to do this the game arms you with an air-pump. Though they begin confined to tunnels the enemies can turn ghostly to pass through the soil to come after you should they walk in to you or should you get burnt by a Fygar's flame it results in a loss of life. There are a few enemies to deal with in each round but only two types: the round goggle-wearing Pookas and the dragon-like Fygars - the former simply wander about whilst the latter also breath fire. If your controller of choice has a left analogue stick you can use that instead, but the d-pad is better suited for quick changes of direction as it's easier to avoid hitting the wrong one. It's straightforward enough to play with you using the d-pad to move in four directions, automatically creating tunnels in the soil as you go. You keep going until your lives are gone, then you go again because you very nearly got the score you were after and feel sure you can manage it this time. Successfully clear the screen and you move onto the next round to do the same thing, the aim of the game being to acquire as many points as possible. It's a classic Namco title that sees you digging your way around a single screen defeating (and sometimes fleeing) enemies. Originally hitting arcades in 1982, this NES conversion of Dig Dug followed a few years later (albeit only in Japan until arriving on the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2008).
