And so to Lucasart's 'The Dig'. Probably the last true ‘point & click’ game I ever played, it was an engrossing game, with a great score and some memorable voice actors.
The puzzles weren't too difficult ('Myst' drove me insane!) and the storyline, while a bit cliched, kept you hooked. I even bought the novelisation, though that was after I'd played the game, and mostly on the strength of the author's reputation...
This is another that is overdue for re-release on Steam or some other platform.
You can get it on Good Old Games (GOG) for about $8.00.

ReplyDeleteI think I still have my copy in the loft, though would probably need emulation software to get it to work now...

Yup, LucasArts were king at one point.

It's amazing how much the internet has ruined good old fashioned discovery and trial & error in games.
GOG do the emulation for you. It's the lazy nostalgics way.
