Digger
DOSArcade
Digger is an arcade action and maze game developed and published by Windmill Software for DOS in 1983. The player controls a small excavator digging through underground earth, collecting emeralds and gold while avoiding increasingly dangerous monsters. Its play style combines route planning, quick movement, and timing-based attacks in compact single-screen levels. The game is notably associated with early IBM PC gaming and was well regarded for bringing colorful, responsive arcade mechanics to home computers, despite its simple presentation.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
