Diggles is a classic game from my childhood. Sadly for the longest time it was near impossible to play on modern hardware and with each fix there was some trade off. Some fixes would make the game run but you'd lose audio, others would fix the audio but you'd have to play in German, there really was no way to get it perfectly stable.

To my surprise it seems like a team has gone back and patched the old game to run perfectly on Windows 10, and it does run perfectly. Have been playing for a solid 3 hours as of typing this and have had 0 issues what so ever. It's really great. It even supports 4k resolutions!
Has the actual game aged well though? I've been having with it. Despite the game being old the graphics feel stylized in a way that makes them super charming, the art direction on this was on point.
The only issue I have with the gameplay is that it can feel a bit slow paced. When all your little dwarfs are working there not a whole lot to do during average downtime besides watch your guys work. There is a speedup time option but your camera is locked in place while using it. It's a bit similar to Oxygen Not Included but more story focused.
If you're partial to slower paced rts type games you'd probably LOVE this game.
