This Implementation of a compatible Dig Dug arcade hardware in HDL is the work of MiSTer-X.

Dig Dug is single screen action game in which the player must dig horizontal and vertical tunnels to reach and eliminate the underground-dwelling monsters living there. This is achieved by either inflating them with an air pump until they explode, or by dropping rocks onto them.
