The Dig is a graphical adventure game developed by LucasArts, and released in 1995. It was the 11th game to use the SCUMM game engine, and is famous for its connection to Steven Spielberg, and notorious for its prolonged production, that had the game bordering on vaporware.
It is the most serious LucasArts adventure game, containing no slapstick, and relatively little subtle humor, an element found abundantly in all other LucasArts adventure titles. It is also the only one to perfectly fit into the science fiction genre.
Story
The Dig starts with a radio telescope in Borneo picking up an unidentified object, directly heading towards Earth. It is a giant asteroid that could cause catastrophic damage upon impact. A team of five is tasked with the mission of taking the Space Shuttle Atlantis to the asteroid, named "Attila" after Attila the Hun, and plant nuclear explosives on its surface to cause it to divert to a stable orbit around the Earth. The five members of this crew are:
- Boston Low (voiced by Robert Patrick), the main protagonist— a retired astronaut and survival expert
- Dr. Ludger Brink (voiced by Steven Blum), an archaeologist and geologist
- Maggie Robbins (voiced by Mari Weiss), a reporter and fluent linguistics expert
- Ken Borden (voiced by David Lodge), expert shuttle pilot
- Cora Miles (voiced by Leilani Jones), NASA technician and political candidate

GameSpot Review - Rated 4.5/10 by Jeffrey Adam Young. In almost every sense, The Dig represents a leap backwards from LucasArts' previous group of adventure games. Reader reviews.

Quandary Review - Review by Gordon Aplin (January, 1996) [4.5/5] What you will find, however, is an alien world to explore, challenging puzzles and an involving storyline.
