ディグダグ
The original "Mr. Driller" was created by "" director Yasuhito Nagaoka and former Tecmo employee Hideo Yoshizawa. Nagaoka drafted the game in 1998 as a second sequel to "Dig Dug", a classic Namco arcade game from 1982, aptly named "Dig Dug 3". The game was designed to be more puzzle-like in gameplay structure, a contrast to the action-oriented gameplay of "Dig Dug" and "Dig Dug II". Yoshizawa made several alterations to Nagaoka's prototype build, including the renaming to Mr. Driller. Namco released the game in arcades in 1999 to critical and commercial success. "Mr. Driller" was ported to several platforms, including the Dreamcast, PlayStation, and Game Boy Color.
