http://www.digger.org/ The
official domain for Andrew Jenner's
reverse-engineered open-source version of Digger for DOS.
The keys are as the default Digger keys - arrow keys
to move, F1 to fire. Press F9 (not F10 as in other
versions) to abandon a game in progress and return to the title screen. Press
+ or - to change speed,
and Esc on the main menu to switch between 1 and 2
player mode. Click on the Java applet to give it focus if it does not
respond.
The scoring system works as follows:
- Emerald (
): 25 points.
- Eight consecutive emeralds (octave): Extra 250 points.
- Gold (
): 500
points.
- Killing a Nobbin (
) or
a Hobbin (
) by shooting
(
) or hitting with a
bag (): 250 points.
- Bonus (
): 1,000 points.
- (In bonus mode) Eating a Nobbin ( ) or a Hobbin ( ): 200 points
for first, 400 for 2nd, etc. (doubling each time)
- still 250 for other methods of killing, though.
- At every multiple of 20,000 points you get an
extra life.
Sound and many of the "Remastered" features such as VGA graphics, keyboard
redefinition, gauntlet mode, 2-player simultaneous mode and recording have not
yet been implemented.
