Dig Dug 2 (NES)
This one's a blast from the past for me. My next door neighbor had this and we used to punish ourselves trying to get as far as we can.

This one's a blast from the past for me. My next door neighbor had this and we used to punish ourselves trying to get as far as we can. Same concept as the original arcade version Dig Dug only taking place above ground on a series of deserted islands, take out all the enemies on screen by using your pump to inflate them until they explode (morbid) or use your jackhammer to break off parts of the island to send them into the sea. You get a lot more points by throwing them into the drink, especially if you can get a big cluster of them at once.
Fun game, traditional 2-player turn taking is available, nothing remarkable but a fun time waster with some cute cut scenes if you can manage to get far enough. (Protip: Listen to Pump the Jam by Technotronic during gameplay for increased enjoyment.)
Score: C+
