Dig Dug II: Trouble in Paradise
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1989
About this game
It is Dig Dug's job to protect 72 different tropical islands from his arch rivals, Pooka and the fire breathing Fygar.
Played from an overhead point of view, Dig Dug now has two weapons at his disposal; the first is an air pump and the second is a drill.

The pump can be used to inflate and destroy the enemies the same as in the original Dig Dug.
At various locations on the islands are stakes, and when the drill is used near a stake a crack will form.
If enough cracks become connected that section of the island will fall into the ocean, hopefully taking an enemy (and not Dig Dug!) with it.
When all of the Pookas and Fygars have been destroyed, the game moves on to the next, more difficult level.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Dig Dug II: Trouble in Paradise for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dig Dug II: Trouble in Paradise to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.
