Why was there a Dig Dug MMO? Why did the Dig Dug MMO not play at all like Dig Dug, but instead like Dig Dug 2? Why is Dig Dug canonically an absentee father? I'm in so much pain.

Arcade games have a _lot_ of lore. Like, did you know about the lore for one of the Space Invaders games? In 2073, a hyper-intelligent race of aliens found a Space Invaders machine floating in space after it broke away from a garbage ship, and the aliens then invaded the Earth in the year 2091, with their attack strategy based on the video game. I am *not making any of this up.*

Don’t forget about Dig Dug’s best appearance: the *officially licensed* Mappy animated web series, where Mappy works at the company _Nyamco_ because he suspects its boss, the cat from the arcade game, is using the company as a front for illegal activity. The other office workers are various Namco characters including Mappy’s two best friends, Dig Dug and Sky Kid.

The reason for Taizo's divorce with his wife is actually a bit different in the Namco X Capcom continuity, they vaguely imply something regarding a tragic event. That is never 100% elaborated upon. And also Taizo is a freaking Digger from Megaman Legends in this continuity! And, I really wish he and his wife still appeared on the Project X Zone duology. As I felt that the whole thing with the event that led to their divorce was building up to something that just... Never came.

Though, Namco High screwed up and made Kissy (referred to here as Toby Masuyo) a teenager (maybe young adult?) who is very close friends with 19-year-old Namco High student Hiromi Tengenji from Burning Force. Somehow, the writers missed the fact that Tobi Masuyo is Dig Dug's ex-wife and screwed up the timeline as a result. But even with that mistake, I still quite enjoyed both Hiromi's story (the one that featured Toby Masuyo) and Mr. Driller's story.

If you want to see how deep the Dig Dug lore can be you can always check the UGSF Timeline (Dig Dug, Mr Driller and Baraduke are part of it) wich includes games like the entire Ace Combat series (tho canonically the UGSF timeline starts with AC3 and AH and Infinity are not canon) Galaxian, Galaga, Bounty Hounds, Star Luster, Starblade and it cancelled sequel Starblade Operation Blue Planet, Mizuiro Blood wich is a weird comedy game with the style of Taiko but it somehow has a blog sequel that has an extremely depresing epilogue that connects it directly with Operation Blue Planet, a cancelled strategy game named New Space Order and many many more

Add on Homestuck's creator writing the dating sim, Toby Fox's connections to Homestuck having written some of it's music, and you can connect Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade, Undertale, and Dig Dug all together. Dig Dug's lore and connections go deeper than The New World and Alrest combined.

Dig Dug has always been my favorite arcade game but I never would've thought it would not only have lore but lore this insane as well

I had so much fun with the namco arrangement games as a kid. Galaga and dig dug are a lot of fun.

Don’t forget, New Dig Dug, a Game Boy exclusive, is a predecessor to Dig Dug Arrangement ‘96!

I get that it's pure nostalgia, but I loved the hell out of Dig Dug II on the NES. I never even played the first until many years later. Still prefer II over the first. So yeah, this kid was quite happy to have received that gift. Still play it occasionally to this day.

“The official browser-based Namco dating sim made by the homestuck creator.” What in god’s name caused us to careen our universe vehicle into the concrete divider and spin out off the road and into this alternate dimension where that is not only a real sentence, but a factual statement?

Thank you for doing a video on Dig Dug lore, his name is Taizo hori and that's more than we know about Pacman. Do a lore video on him, that would be interesting!

I never knew Dig Dug was this deep and rich in lore! For a game that originally was about digging underground and inflating monsters to make them explode this video shows that it's more than that! It's an epic and long story with plot! I'll never look at Dig Dug the same again! lol

I literally owned the original Dig Dug 2 on NES. WELL, technically it was my moms. LOL It's definitely a game that requires a Game Genie. 😂😂 Here's a MASSIVE tip for popping monsters faster. Don't tap the button to inflate then. Shoot, walk, shoot, walk. There's a glitch where the first hit inflates the monsters more than tapping.

I remember having a Namco Museum game on the DS that had Dig Dug II but not the first one. And I’m not gonna lie, I absolutely LOVED Dig Dug II, and it was easily my favorite in the whole package. Not sure how it holds up nowadays, but those were good memories nonetheless.
