It's OK, but not outstanding. I and my team of expert testers found the game rather uninspiring and initially difficult to fathom. I didn't know what was going on. Finding out didn't help much. Read Review

Ridiculous. The graphics were slow and jerky with nasty glitches left on the screen when the beasts explode and the program crashed twice for no reason and had to be re-loaded. Read Review

The keyboard response is sometimes terrible: I often had to press a key twice before I could make my man move. Read Review

Yes, folks, it's Dig Dug time again. And a pretty dull version it is too, with merely average graphics and very ordinary sound. Read Review

A fun game that would be appreciated by the keyboard basher who thinks there's more to life than Space Invaders. Read Review
Full Instructions
Digger
A spot of gardening for BBC B owners with 1.2 OS. The overworked allotment owner has to rid successive plots of increasing numbers of red Footas and Pubars. Both cannot pass through earth (which you can tunnel through) unless they transform into ghosts. Pubars can also breathe fire and gamma rays, which kill the player if pointed at him.
He can fight back by pumping up these garden pests, which explode, or tunnel earth from under rocks to squash the pests. Pumping is only done horizontally and each pump is neutralised by each 'pip'.
