Dig Dug 2 is a solid game that pretty much completely changes most thing about the original. For starters, instead of a vertical cave system you move along a flat island, which does remove a bit of the beauty of the first whilst also allowing a new gimmick to take place. While you can still blow enemies up like the first, this game allows you to also dig the island in order to make pieces of it sink. This gives significantly more points than killing them normally, especially if you sink multiple enemies in one go with it, so it's a pretty interesting mechanic.

Overall a pretty solid game, though the music is certainly not as iconic as the original's legendary theme. Would recommend if you like arcade stuff, my highscore is 45,800 on Round 9 (which you can easily beat!).
