Description from the packaging.

Dig Dug digs fruits, vegetables and tunnels.

The thrill of the arcade game.
Dodging and blasting Pookas, and dropping rocks on fire-breathing Fygars; Dig Dug burrows his way through a maze of subterranean paths. Ripe fruits and veggies, loaded with points, are his passion. But the evil denizens of the underground pack a potentially lethal wallop, and can hide behind fruits. Even when Dig Dug kills them they may come back as Ghosts. Ghosts don't need tunnels and are harder to kill. Luckily, when the chips are down, they turn out to be cowards... and worth points.

The world's most popular video games can be yours to play at home, now that Atari makes them for the IBM PC. And the possibilities don't stop there. More compatible software will be available soon from Atarisoft, including educational, management and productivity programs.
