Video Game Anthology Vol. 12: Dig Dug/Dig Dug II Details

Overview

Video Game Anthology Vol. 12: Dig Dug/Dig Dug II, a Sharp X68000 game that was the 12th volume in the Video Game Anthology series for the X68000, and this game includes two games in one, which are Dig Dug (ディグダグ) (1982), and Dig Dug II (ディグダグ II) (1985). Dig Dug (1982): Dig Dug (ディグダグ), is needed for the job to wipe out the race of Pookas and Fygars, by using a pump, inflating the creatures and explode them. However, the Pookas just jump and roam around, while the Fygars are green dragons wanting to burn Dig Dug alive. Pookas look like red tomatoes with a yellow tail, white feet, and goggles. Dig Dug can also use rocks, but limited and used to crush enemy creatures. It can also defeat Dig Dug as well. Dig Dug will make a mistake when he gets touched by a monster or a Fygar's flame, and getting crushed by a rock. Dig Dug II (1985): Dig Dug II (ディグダグII), is a platformer where the character controls Dig Dug, on islands and not underground. Now, the Pookas and Fygars are roaming in the islands. Like before, Dig Dug has a pump to kill them, but there are no rocks, so Dig Dug used a drill this time to make cracks and make the islands fall into the river.
