Digger Remastered
Digger was originally created by Windmill software in 1983 and released as acopy-protected, bootable 5.25' floppy disk for the IBM PC. As it requires agenuine CGA card, it didn't work on modern PCs.
In 1998, I created Digger Remastered, which runs on all PCs with CGA or betterand plays just like the original. It also has many new features, including:
* 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 choicefor 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 /Koption on the command line. For more information about this, see 'Command lineoptions', below.
Joysticks are not yet supported in this version of Digger, but joystick supportis planned for a future version - watch this space!
