Notes
"Digger's action takes place in a dungeon of many levels. It's a fast test of wills against an alien creature with a nasty tendency to explode. The alien resembles a flaming star and it plays cat and mouse with your man as he tries to entice it into a carefully dug pit and trap it there. Because of the alien's explosive ability, you cannot afford to mess around hiding behind a hole in the vague hope that he will fall in. You have to go out and tempt him to rush at you and then dig your hole swiftly while he's in full flight. Just 30 seconds stand between you and destruction. So the game usually involves some pretty fast ladder climbing. Should you succeed in destroying the first star a second and third... in fact a never-ending supply is available to do battle with. Like most of their genre, these aliens' touch is deadly to us mortals. A simplified form of Alien Panic, this game is difficult to master and so, quite addictive."
