Dig Dug is a 1-2 player arcade game in which you have to use your shovel to dig your way through the earth. Stopping you from doing this are two monsters, called Pooka and Fygar, who will continually chase you around.

(if you start to inflate them but stop doing so, the monsters will get turned back to their normal selves).

If the monsters do not find you for several seconds, they will eventually get turned into ghosts, which can walk through the earth. They are invincible and cannot be killed. From time to time, vegetables will appear in the center, and you can get these for points.
As a secret agent you have to find and infiltrate the secret hideout of a megalomaniac who threatens to destroy the world's largest cities unless he is made ruler of the world.
