Digger, a remake of the classic PC game from the early 80s, has received a major facelift for the new millennium, while staying true to its classic gameplay. Players control a little construction vehicle that must make its way through an underground maze. Gamers dig through the dirt horizontally and vertically to create their own path while collecting power-ups, jewels, coins and other bonuses while avoiding the pursuing monsters.

Key Game Features

*Dynamic action. Make your way through 60 levels of underground mazes where there is something behind every corner, be it a monster, a bonus or a bag of falling gold.

*Test your skills. There are 240 special challenges and the non-stop gameplay Survival mode.

*Move up in the world. Advance your way through the game and become either an Archeologist or an Exterminator.

*Secret trophies. Collect all the trophies and figure out how to achieve the secret ones. Are you up for the challenge?

*Old school style. Vintage Mode allows you to play the game in its old school glory: original mechanics and levels - even the original graphics and sounds!

Now here's a game I never thought I'd see again. Fun little game, pretty much a Mr Do clone, right?

edit: Answering my own question here:

I hope there's a demo, but I might be in for $5 if it's that's low. Frisky, I guess you and I are the only ones who care!

I too would be game for $5 but anything more and probably no, unless there is a demo in which case I'll reserve judgement. :-s

Got a code for this the other day and just not got around to trying it out. It's pretty cool for what seems to be pretty much a Dig Dug clone, but with a mining tractor as the main character. The main menu is basically a rip-off of Cover Flow, so you see the furthest level you've unlocked with levels you've played to the left and levels that are still locked to the right. It has survival and arcade modes that can be played in single-player and co-op along with a classic mode that includes the original game, high score leaderboard and all. I don't know if this is worth the $10 yet, but it feels like an arcade game no matter where its roots are.
