Digger

A spot of gardening for BBC B owners with 1.2 OS. The overworked allotment owner has to rid successive plots of increasing numbers of red Footas and Pubars. Both cannot pass through earth (which you can tunnel through) unless they transform into ghosts. Pubars can also breath fire and gamma rays, which kill the player if pointed at him. He can fight back by pumping up these garden pests, which explode, or tunnel earth from under rocks to squash the pests. Pumping is only done horizontally and each pump is neutralised by each 'pip'.

Appears to be similar to the arcade classic Dig-Dug.
