The Dig®
Description
A DEEP SPACE ADVENTURE BY SEAN CLARK IN COLLABORATION WITH FILMMAKER STEVEN SPIELBERG
An asteroid the size of a small moon is on a crash course toward Earth, and only NASA veteran Boston Low has the expertise to stop it. Along for the ride are award-winning journalist Maggie Robbins and internationally renowned geologist Ludger Brink.
Once the wayward asteroid is nuked into a safe orbit, the trio conducts a routine examination of the rocky surface.
What they uncover is anything but routine.
Low, Brink and Robbins unwittingly trigger a mechanism that transforms the asteroid into a crystal-like spacecraft. The team is hurtled across the galaxy to a planet so desolate, Brink is moved to name it Cocytus, after the 9th circle of Hell in Dante’s inferno. The bleak landscape was obviously once home to a highly evolved civilization, with remnants of sophisticated architecture, advanced technology and an intricate network of underground tunnels.
But no Cocytans.
Who were the original inhabitants of this once rich empire-turned-wasteland? What are those apparitions that mysteriously appear from time to time? Why have Low, Robbins, and Brink been brought to this place? And how can Low keep his team from unraveling in the face of such uncertainty? To return to Earth, they must dig for answers, both on the planet’s surface and deep within themselves.
From the combined talents of LucasArts and legendary Steven Spielberg comes an epic adventure that plunges headlong into the very core of the unknown. And takes you with it.

If you LOVE the Sierra games....
Im not one for writing reviews, but I'll just say this. If you never played The Dig, and you LOVE the Sierra point and click adventuire games likes King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, you will LOVE The Dig. The story is much more immersive than the ones I mentioned, the graphics are better, the ambiant music is great, the voice acting is excellent. Highly recommended. If you do not like King's Quest, avoid The Dig. Simple.

A milestone from my childhood.
The first time I met this game I was 9 years old. I wouldn't beat it without a walkthrough on a magazine given to me by a friend of mine. I didn't care much about how noob I was, I just enjoyed the experience so much that The Dig it's still a game I carry in my heart. So today I bought the game and I can't wait to replay it, all by myself, living something magical again. (I'm sorry for my poor Enlgish skills).
