box cover Game title: Digger Remastered Platform: MS-DOS Author (released): Andrew Jenner (1998) Genre: Action Mode: Multiplayer Design: Andrew Jenner Music: Gershon Kingsley Game manual: not available Download: DiggerRem.zip Game size: 77 kB Recommended emulator: DOSBox From txt manual created by Andrew Jenner: Digger was originally created by Windmill software in 1983 and released as a copy-protected, bootable 5.25' floppy disk for the IBM PC. As it requires a genuine CGA card, it didn't work on modern PCs. In 1998, I created Digger Remastered, which runs on all PCs with CGA or better and plays just like the original. It also has many new features, including: Digger Remastered (DOS) * Exit button * Optional VGA graphics * Recording and playback * Real time speed control * Keyboard redefinition * Gauntlet mode * Two player simultaneous mode Controls -------- The keys you can use during the game are (by default): * The cursor keys Up, Down, Left and Right (or 2, 4, 6, 8 on the numeric keypad if Num-lock is off) to move Digger. * F1 to fire. * Space to pause. * F7 to toggle background music. * F9 to toggle all sound. * F10 to return to the title screen. * + to increase the game speed by 5. * - to decrease the game speed by 5. * Ctrl-T (cheat) to take over whilst playing back a recorded game. In two player mode the default keys for the second player are: * W, A, S and Z to move Digger around. * Tab to fire. (Apologies to users of non-QWERTY keyboards - I know this is a terrible choice for you - you'll just have to redefine the keys.) On the title screen press: * Esc or N to toggle one or two player mode. * F8 to save the last game if you didn't put a name on the command line. * F10 to exit the program. The game keys (not the title screen keys) can be redefined by specifying the /K option on the command line. For more information about this, see 'Command line options', below. Joysticks are not yet supported in this version of Digger, but joystick support is planned for a future version - watch this space! More details about this game can be found on Mobygames.com.

It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used.
