Does Dig Dug End?

In earlier versions of Dig Dug, the game ends at the completion of the 256th round. There is no game over screen. Instead, the game automatically resets to the beginning. Other later versions of Dig Dug offer truly unlimited play.

Does Dig Dug have an end?

Yet another classic arcade kill screen, Dig Dug's "ending" comes after round 255, when the titular hero loops back to "Round 0." There, he finds only a hellish void where he can't even move before exploding over and over again, until being finally, mercifully spared by the sweet release of oblivion.

What is the world record for Dig Dug?

On April 8, 2017 Donald Hayes would get the world record on Dig Dug, with an impossible to reach score of 5,429,010. Wanna know what's even more impressive than that? He's also the world record holder on Centipede, Joust, Millipede and holds records on over 30 other games. C'mon man.
