Slightly more recent games than Dig Dug: Final Fantasy V, Excelsior, Dune, Dune 2, Streets of Rage, Streets of Rage 2, Streets of Rage 3, Wolfenstein 3D, Chuck Yeager Air Combat, Shadow Knights and some game I can't remember the name of. It was for PC, involved various alien races and also involved mining and colonising of planets and battling other races in one ship vs. one ship fights. My favourite ship, a big fat green one, allowed for you to send out loads of tiny little ships which would seek out the enemy ship and zap 'em repeatedly with their tiny little lasers. It was a good game! Damn, I wish I remember what it was called.
I also enjoyed another old-school space game that involved you trying to figure out who you are and acting as a bounty hunter. All I remember is that after playing the shareware version of the game you would get taken away in a weird green organic ship of some kind that could travel extreme distances. Or something. But yeah, that was a good game, too. Space games were so much better in the old days for some reason...
EDIT: After a bit of digging, the first game was called Star Control.
