Trivia
In the coin-operated version the game ends on round 256 (shown as round 0) since this board is unplayable. At the start of the level, a Pooka is placed directly on top of where the player starts, with no way to kill it. This is a famous example of a kill screen (a area of a game the is impossible to play, usually caused by the oversight of developers.)

The Intellivision version of Dig Dug has a cool little hidden bonus game stuck in the cartridge. Wanna play it? Press 4 and 7 on both controllers at once and press Reset on the console to play "Deadly Dogs", a goofy Tron Deadly Discs parody with hotdogs instead of digital men! ^_^
