Dig Dug
The third entry, "Mr. Driller G", was released in 2001 for arcades and later the PlayStation. The game was created to be more story-driven than the previous installments, which expanded on the "Mr. Driller" universe and helped bridge the connection between the "Mr. Driller" and "Dig Dug" franchises. Taizo Hori, the protagonist of the "Dig Dug" series, is a playable character in G and is revealed to be the father of Susumu and his older brother Ataru Hori. The PlayStation version was only moderately successful with around 10,000 being sold during launch week.
