game developed
by Rare, and released by Milton Bradley

Digger has multiple tools which are found and can be used to explore and uncover new areas. A timer in the game represents the time remaining until the door to the next level closes, but the timer can be reset by standing on a special pillar. Monsters such as moles and mosquitoes seek to kill the protagonist. The game is notable for the animation of the character's death, which shows a presumably time-lapse
view of his body decaying with only his helmet and skeleton remaining.
It is notable as being one of the most difficult games on the NES.
