tried that there seem to be similar games with the same name, may have to look through old 5 inch flopies

I used to play that on the vic 20 and on the amiga. Brilliant game, the one on the vic was typed in from a magazine and worked, which was a first.

you dont specify what platform its on, but i think this site covers a few including amigas, and its worth a browse anyway. Lots of good speccy games there:

If it's an old PC game try
http://www.the-underdogs.org
they do have a game called dig dug
http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=3772
but I'm not sure if it's the same.
Anyhow thats a great site to download free games to waste some time.
Some real old classics and lots of newer freeware/shareware. And they're all rated.
