Play Dig Dug (rev 2) Online

Dig Dug (rev 2) is the 1985 arcade game by Namco, playable today through MAME emulation. It arrived during a period when arcade cabinets were packed with bright, simple, and challenging games designed to eat quarters. This one stands out for its clever mechanics and clean visual style, a product of its time that still holds up.

You control a little guy named Dig Dug, who digs through soft dirt to create tunnels. Your goal is to clear each screen of enemies, either by inflating them with a pump until they pop or by dropping rocks on them. The pacing starts slow but quickly escalates as the remaining foes speed up, forcing you to plan your routes carefully to avoid getting trapped. It feels tense and satisfying when a well-placed rock crushes two monsters at once.
