Welcome to Chris's Digger Page
About Digger
If you dont already know, Digger is a classic
video game for the PC/XT, a very old IBM/Compatible computer
system that was around in the 80's. Digger had spectacular CGA
graphics (for CGA, that is) and the sounds weren't bad either. As
for who created this game, I don't know. All I know is that some
company named Windmill Software published this game in 1983, or
at least that's what the copyright information at the bottom of
the title screen says.
If you happen to be the creator, or know the
creator directly or indirectly, please e-mail me! Thanx!
Digger Downloads
As I said before, I don't know who created the
game. I don't think posting the original game on the Internet
would cause any copyright violations. I don't know much about
copyrights but I'm pretty sure that it's probably expired by now
(11/5/1998).
Again, If you know the creator or are the
creator of this game, directly or indirectly, please email me.
Digger, the
original game.
This game will, of course, only run on an XT. I
talked to Andrew Jenner about the game and he said that this
isn't the actual original file. The original was not an
executable. The file in this ZIP archive is
"DIGGER.COM". But nevertheless it's still the exact
same and only version of the game until very recently (see
below).

Thanx goes out to Mikel
Lavrentyev for the original!
Thanx goes out to Andrew Jenner
for the animated Digger image.
Digger, the
"digitally remastered" version!
After 3 years of hard work, the "digitally
remastered" version was released by Andrew Jenner! This
version will run on almost anything as low as a 286, I believe.
As for it's CPU limit, there is none because it calibrates the
CPU to get a normal speed.
To download, please go to the author's site:

Digger Loader
This is a patcher for the original digger to
run on modern computers. I haven't tried it out yet so I can't
say how well it works.

Thanx again goes out to Mikel
Lavrentyev for the loader also.
"Mikel Lavrentyev of Russia claims to have

play."

Midi composed by myself. It was the easiest
Midi I've ever composed! As you can see (or should I say hear)
it's pretty simple. It get's a little annoying after a while so
just click stop on your browser when you're sick of it.
