“The objective of Dig Dug is to eliminate underground-dwelling monsters by inflating them until they pop, or by dropping rocks on them. There are two kinds of enemies in the game. Pookas, round red monsters who wear yellow goggles, and Fygars, green dragons who can breathe fire. The player's character is Dig Dug, dressed in white and blue, and able to dig tunnels through destructible environments. Dig Dug is killed if he is caught by either Pooka or Fygar, burned by a Fygar's fire, or crushed by a rock. If left partially inflated, the monster will deflate and recover after a few seconds, and the player can also pass through the enemy while it is deflating.”

| Pump. Pump, pump it up! |
I can imagine what the War Room for this mission sounded like. “
Dig Dug, there are dangerous monsters in gaudy jumpsuits and fire breathing dragons digging tunnels and its up to you to stop them! Huh? Your weapons? Here you go. Yes, that is a inflator. Use it? Well, you shoot it with a harpoon and then pump your chubby little arms until it explodes.”
Dig Dug had to have written a will as soon as he got this deal. If I were him I would’ve been like “
So let me get this straight. I have to fight monsters underground and the only thing I have to fight them with is something used to fix tires? And I don’t see anyone else here so I think its safe to assume that I’ll be doing this alone.” Its just you in your punk ass tracksuit fighting
Cthulhu in the deepest parts of the planet.
