The Battle Collection edition of Dig Dug Arrangement is also included on Namco Museum Virtual Arcade for the Xbox 360, but with the multiplayer features removed. It is a different game entirely from Namco Classic Collection Volume 2's Dig Dug Arrangement but still has the concept of being an updated variant of Dig Dug by having new graphics, obstacles, enemies, boss battles, power-ups, etc. In 2005, Namco made another game with the Dig Dug Arrangement title as part of Namco Museum Battle Collection. In this version of Dig Dug, there are new marbles that can kill a lot of enemies in a row but too many "ayiie!" screams from marbles killing ice dragons, ducks or aliens can result in enemies disappearing for a short amount of time.

There are also new features such as giant rocks that can crush multiple enemies at a time and special power-up items.ĭig Dug Arrangement was re-released alongside this game and ten others in the GameCube, PS2 and Xbox versions of Namco Museum. The graphics are updated and the levels are different. Out of the six created Arrangement games, this version has the least amount of changes. The updated variant was called Dig Dug Arrangement, with one or two-player modes, as in the original. In 1996, Namco packaged both this game and an updated variant and re-released it in arcades with the title Namco Classic Collection Vol. At the start of the level a Pooka is placed directly on top of where the player starts, with no way to kill it. In the coin-operated version the game ends on round 256 (round 0), since this board is essentially an unplayable kill screen. A level is completed successfully when the last monster is dispatched or succeeds in fleeing. In successive levels more monsters appear on each screen and they move quicker. Level numbers are represented by flowers in the top right of the screen and each new level is noted at the beginning of each stage on the bottom right (as seen in this article's screenshot graphic). Attaining the next level of play will then remain impossible, but the glitch can be resolved by forcing a rock to drop.

If the player drops a rock on a foe at the same time he pumps it to death, a glitch will occur whereupon all enemies will promptly disappear, but the game will not progress and the player will be free to dig through all dirt. In some versions of the game, the most points attainable from a single bonus fruit is 8,000 from the pineapple. These edible bonus items will appear even if the rocks fail to hit any enemies. The act of digging is itself worth points, giving 10 points for each block dug, so some players do as much of it as possible in situations where the threat from the remaining monsters is minimal.Īfter the player drops two rocks, fruits and vegetables and other edible bonus items, such as Galaxian flagships appear in the center of the play field, and can be collected for points if the player is able to reach them before they disappear. The next two add 1500 points each, and any after that add 2000. If one enemy is killed by the rock, it is worth 1000 points. Extra points are also awarded for dropping rocks on enemies in order to eliminate them rather than inflating them. In addition, Fygars are worth double points if exploded horizontally, since they can only breathe fire horizontally in the direction they are facing.
More points are awarded for popping an enemy further down in the dirt (the levels are color-coded). The last enemy on a level will try to escape off the top left of the screen. The monsters normally crawl through the tunnels in the dirt but can turn into ghostly eyes and travel slowly through the dirt. Dig Dug is killed if he is caught by either Pooka or Fygar, burned by a Fygar's fire, or crushed by a rock.Ī partially inflated monster will gradually deflate and recover after a few seconds, during which time the player can pass safely through it. The player's character is Dig Dug, dressed in white and blue, and able to dig tunnels through destructible environments. There are two kinds of enemies in the game: Pookas, round red monsters (said to be modeled after tomatoes) who wear yellow goggles, and Fygars, green dragons who can breathe fire. The objective of Dig Dug is to eliminate underground-dwelling monsters by inflating them until they pop, or by dropping rocks on them.
