Dig Dug

This little guy in white is tunneling around the place.
He is aware of the many dangers he will face.
There are pookas and fygars situated all around.
Those adversaries can sneak themselves right through the ground.

He gets more points by dropping rocks on their head.
If not, he can inflate them until they burst instead.
Throughout the game, he must stay one step ahead.
Those nasty little creatures would like to see him dead.

Dig dug gets treats after dropping rock number two.
In the middle of the ground, bonuses appear when due.
From a carrot to a pineapple is what he can get.
As many as eight thousand points this digger may net.
 
The dragon-like fygars pose an extra threat to this guy.
The ability to spit fire is something we can’t deny.
Our hero gets more points when he is deeper in the ground.
I don’t think a better video game can be found.

The game sounds exciting, you describe it well with your skill of writing, but I also do not like video games, but I do grant that people get very skilled at this, it is an addiction, well just like poetry, if a person can monitor the time spent on the game, then I see no harm, although I read children are not getting exercise because they preferr to sit in front of these games or tv, but I am sitting in front of this screen, so, I best think about that ~~

though i like the tone and energetic float of this finely-written piece, i am an advocate of anti-compter gaming esp for kids... they are losing the value of human connecton, so i do wish computer game hours can be tempered.. great, exciting stuff you have here, robert! :) huggs, nette

LOL I don't play video games, Robert, but this sounds like one of the many that our young people enjoy to the point of obsession! Love, Carolyn
