	Dig Dug Deeper for PC Review - PC Dig Dug Deeper Review
		Dig Dug Deeper has only one single-player gameplay mode that's very similar to the original arcade game--there are no multiplayer modes or secondary modes that offer variations on the main game.
		As you dig through the underground area and encounter enemies, you can either use Dig Dug's trusty drill or use objects found within the environment--rocks, poisonous gas, and lava can all be used to kill the enemies if you use a little strategy in the way you dig.
		In the end, Dig Dug Deeper's core gameplay is still basically the same as that of the original Dig Dug, which may not be a bad thing for hard-core fans of the original arcade game.

	Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Dig Dug
		Dig Dug, with its animè-inspired cutesy characters and exceedingly simple game play, was a wonderfully easy game to learn, and it didn't take much effort to reach a high score.
		Dig Dug II, in which Dig is trying to irrigate a series of islands, and once again finds himself fending off Pookas and Fygars above ground, able to dispatch them by either pumping them up (as in the original Dig Dug), or by submerging a portion of the island containing the offending critters.
		Numerous successful adaptations of Dig Dug were made, and some of them, like the Atari 2600 version, were even easier than the arcade game, allowing a single session to be stretched out as long as a half hour or longer.

	Dig Dug for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 Dig Dug Review
		As pleasing as it is to have such a solid version of Dig Dug to play at home, it's a no-frills package, and once you've torn through the far-too-easy achievement points, there's not a lot to keep you playing.
		As Dig Dug (whose proper name, for those hardcore enough to care, is actually Taizo Hori), you're placed in the middle of an underground playfield littered with rocks and monster-filled chambers, with the task of eliminating all the monsters.
		Dig Dug also comes armed with what looks like a harpoon attached to a bike pump; you can hurl it at nearby monsters and then inflate them until they pop.

	IGN: Dig Dug Review
		Though Dig Dug falls short in the same places that many other classic Live Arcade releases have, the tunneling and popping action title is still worth another look if you're a fan or a first look if you haven't yet given it a whirl.
		As Dig Dug, it is your job to tunnel your way through the ground and rid the playing field of the goggle wearing Pookas and fire breathing Fygars.
		Although Dig Dug originally had the option to trade off turns with a friend, this feature is missing on the Live Arcade version, and it is missed.

	G4 - Reviews - Dig Dug Digging Strike
		The result is Dig Dug Digging Strike, a sequel to both the original classic and the more recently released DS puzzler, Driller Spirits.
		So, Taizo starts digging just as he did in the old days--complete with pumping up enemies until they explode--but his ultimate goal is to strategically drop the spikes in such a way that part of the island sinks when the giant monster happens to be standing on it.
		Dig Dug Digging Strike is a fun, if brief game that manages to capture much of the appeal of the original, yet overcomplicates the core gameplay without enhancing it much.

		Dig Dug: Digging Strike takes the basic concepts of the original arcade game and adds a few gameplay elements that, ultimately, don't fit together all that well.
		By digging underground and creating holes under the pillars placed conveniently around each of the maps, your goal is to sink the big monsters into the water by breaking off the chunk of island that they are standing on.
		Perhaps best of all is the inclusion of remixed takes on the classic Dig Dug music, which in and of its own is quite unique--in order to keep the music playing, you've got to keep moving.

		Dig Dug was an arcade favorite, and I know I blew my fair share of quarters on it, but it’s one of those games that’s been begging for an updated re-release for a while now.
		Where the original had only two enemies, Pooka and Fygar, the enemies in Dig Dug DS get increasingly tougher, usually by way of special abilities (breathing fire, flying, creating and throwing items, etc.) Another addition to the new version is the spikes that need to be driven into the ground.

		Digging around, dropping rocks, and inflating enemies was a lot more fun than I had assumed it would be, although I never really got past the weirdness.
		What's great in Dig Dug is figuring out systems on the early levels for smashing all the enemies at once with a single rock - that's where the mad points really kick in.
		OT: Dig Dug was a blast, and helped while away the hours when I was 13 and in Denver with nothing much to do (besides wander around in the city).
