About the post

A playthrough of a Dig Dug recreation running in one HTML file. The author says a single prompt asked for an arcade-exact copy including the music, visuals and every feature it could manage.

Our summary. The author’s own words are in the post above; we do not copy them.

Our note

A portrait playthrough of a Dig Dug-style arcade screen: a blue strip of sky, four bands of dotted dirt from sand to maroon, round rocks, and black tunnels with a white-suited digger. It opens on "Player 1" and "Ready!" with "Round 1" at the bottom, a score of 00 and a "High score" of 10000. Red goggled enemies and green dragons patrol the tunnels, and a pair of yellow eyes sits in solid dirt. A "300" bonus pops up in round 2, the surface gains a flower each round, and by round 3 the score reads 7740. The author's thread has the prompt; arcade accuracy is their claim.

Written by The Frontier Brief after watching the video (Nov 5, 2026). It describes what is on screen; we have not run the work ourselves.

Prompt

The author shared the prompt in a reply on X. We have not copied it here; read it in the thread.
