"Guide the insatiable Glob through corridors, up and down the elevators and through the side tunnels in his never-ending search for snacks. An assortment of crafty animals relentlessly pursue the Glob and fight him for control of the elevators. Kill them by sticking to the ceiling and dropping on them or just avoid them and munch a dozen different snacks to clear the 24 unique levels."

The contest ends on Sunday October 7, at midnight, PST.

Hey weird, this game is actually fun, has a good difficulty level, & makes me want to come back & play more.

And here I thought it was just going to be annoying!

23,345 after a few games. Not that the left arrow in the enter-your-initials screen doesn't actually move your cursor left but instead puts a big left arrow in your initials. Cute.


Thanks,

37,186. For some reason, those frogs creep me out.
Since entering the name is too tedious, I shall henceforth be known as 'AAA'.

Super Glob instead of The Glob. Apparently they are the same. Initials setting is up/down = back and foward, button = set.

The two issues with this game are controls accuracy , and uglies appearing right next to or even right on you.

DAMMIT!  My machine is down for the count right now, and this is one of my favorite games.  Don't know how I found it but I got addicted to this game really quick..
I'm going to try to get the machine up again this week so I can put in my effort.

The GLOB gives me huge Adventure Time vibes, am I the only one here?

ROM name = digdug2 (new version)
                    digdug2o (old version)

I don't know the difference between these two, but I think that the new version is there for a reason.
