The Dig

This was a graphical adventure game done by LucasArts in 1995. It was the 11th game using the SCUMM engine. The story started with a giant asteroid that could cause catastrophic damage upon impact on Earth. So, a team of five was tasked to plant nuclear explosives on it. Three of them left the shuttle to do that but after some exploration they were brought to a distant planet of unknown position.

The Dig had the longest development length of all LucasArts adventure games. They worked on it since 1989 but the game wasn't released until 1995. This is the MS-DOS demo version.

The dig and Grim fandango the bestest.

the story for "The Dig was written by orson scott card and steven spielberg which is so awsome

[suncollapse]

game looks cool but that wailing synth sound in the background is killing my ears. Does that go on like that through the whole game?

[Hechgs]

I like it"

[saltythebear]

Ive never played this game, though even I'm having nostalgiagasms when the beginning is narrated by the guy from TIE Fighter and Rogue Squadron. I miss old LucasArts...

In terms of atmosphere The Dig is until today unmatched.

@drakesmithmarshall sure it has! but I (think^^) I've meant people which hunts the newest and best graphics available like crysis and stuff.

@Hagelnot To be absolutely honest this game has incredibly beautiful graphics. It's just not very heavy on the PC. :)
