Dig Dug is an arcade game developed in Japan in 1982. It runs on Namco Galaga hardwar A popular game based on a simple concept, it was also released as a video game on many consoles. The objective of Dig Dug is to eliminate underground-dwelling monsters by either inflating them with an air pump until they explode, or by dropping rocks on them. There are two kinds of enemies in the game: 'Pookas' (a race of round red monsters, said to be modeled after tomatoes, that wear yellow goggles), and 'Fygars' (a race of green dragons that can breathe fire while their wings flash).
