Zig Zag (bootleg Dig Dug conversion on Galaxian hardware, set 1) — About this game
This Zig Zag edition reworks the digging chase of Dig Dug on Moon Cresta-derived hardware. The original pump is removed, so defeating an enemy requires closing in rather than using the familiar inflation attack. Rocks can still be undermined and dropped onto pursuers, while a temporary pickaxe improves digging speed. Vegetable bonus items are absent. These changes make the route through a tunnel a different tactical decision: a direct approach to an enemy and a planned falling-rock trap offer different levels of exposure. This account applies to the two catalogued Galaxian-driver sets, keeping them separate from the other Zig Zag variant on Dig Dug hardware.
