Digger was resurrected by Andrew Jenner in 1998, when he reverse engineered it to run using VGA on fast Pentium based computers. The source code of the remastered version was released under the GPL with permission of the original author Rob Sleath.

More about Digger
In Digger you control a duck-shaped digger. Each level is a screen containing a tunnel, and ground through which you can dig. Placed in the levels are clusters of diamonds (which you have to collect to complete the level) and bags of gold.
Monsters appear from the top right corner. In the beginning they are restricted to pre-existing tunnels, and any tunnels you have dug, but later on monsters appear which can dig their own tunnels.
To defend against monsters there are two things you can do. You can dig tunnels under bags of gold or push bags of gold so they fall on monsters, or you can use your gun, which takes several seconds to recharge (and takes even longer later on in the game).
