Having Fun With Dig Dug Of The GBA Type

by Alxala

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. 🙂

Playing around a bit of Namco Museum 64

by Alxala

I was checking out Namco Museum 64 on Der Project 64 emulator. It’s a Nintendo 64 game where you can play 6 arcade games starting with Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaxian, Galaga, Dig Dug and Pole Position.

The reason why I snagged that to add to my collection of N64 games is because I remember playing Namco Museum Volumes 1 and 3 on the original Playstation back in the old days. They’re a lot of fun! 😀

Famicom Mini Fun Time!

by Alxala

I’ve been experimenting on Famicom Mini games on my Visual Boy Advance emulator, and here are a few screenshots of Famicom Mini games that have been tested successfully:

Mario Bros.
Dig Dug
Pac-Man

My future plans are to play more Famicom games; such as Ice Climbers, Clu Clu Land and Super Mario Bros.

Adobe Illustratification Artwork Roundup

by Alxala

Guess what I’ve been doing in Adobe Illustrator lately?

I just thought I’d practice some more drawing on my Wacom tablet while tracing images of various game sprites, and I will doing more of Illustrator so that I can learn new things on there. 🙂

Checking out some more Game Boy roms

by Alxala

I found some more Game Boy roms that I remembered playing original arcade versions of them from awhile back:

Dig Dug

Asteroids

Missile Command

Plus I grabbed another Game Boy rom that’s really fun to play:

Wordtris

Yep, I had a really fun time murdering enemies and creating words. 🙂

Playing around some Dig Dug for DOS

by Alxala

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

I got those two Pookas crushed 2,500 points. Yippee!

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. 😀
