Having Fun With Dig Dug Of The GBA Type

, , , , , 0

I decided to come back to playing some Dig Dug, but this time it’s from Namco Museum for the Game Boy Advance! Here’s a screenshot of what the gameplay looks like:

The objective in this arcade game is to clear out all of the Pookas and Fygars in order to advance to the next round by simply blowing them up using Dig Dug’s air pump.

For instance, I blew up the one and only Fygar in the first round head-on for 800 points.

You can also drop rocks on them to score big points. For example:

I crushed all three Pookas with a rock and scored 4,000 points. First round completed!

I also managed to complete rounds 2 through 7 without losing a single life, so now I’m at round 8.

I should probably take a break from that game for right now until the next time I come back to playing it. But yeah, this is literally one of my favorite Namco arcade games. 🙂

Some Game Sprite Sheet Shenanigans

A few days ago I decided to publish a couple of sprite sheets in The Spriters Resource website that include title screen sprites from the game Toy Pop. One for the original Namco arcade and the other for the Sharp X1 version of the game.

The reason why I uploaded them is because nobody bothered making those game sprite sheets, so I had to do it myself. Feel free to click on the links to check out my sprite sheets in the TSR website if anyone of you folks are interested.

Playing around some Dig Dug for DOS

, , , , , , , 0

Last year I went to My Abandonware and found a DOS game called Dig Dug, so I decided to give this a try:

You’ll play as the dude dressed in white clothing, and you’re digging underground to destroy all Pookas (the red round monsters that wear yellow goggles) and Fygars (the green dragons that breathe fire) by blowing them up with your air pump or crushing them with large rocks:

I’d say this is a really fun DOS Game. I was thinking about playing other Namco DOS games like Pac-Man and Galaxian, but I’m gonna have to wait on that for another time. 😀
