You are commanding a shuttle mission to divert an asteroid before it hits the earth--and this is years before Armageddon/Deep Impact! Once you stop the asteroid, you discover an ancient ship--and you've just hit the ignition. I found this to be a very pretty game, with some excellent voice-acting and fantastic orchestral music. Some of the puzzles were hard, but I felt a real sense of accomplishment when I finally solved them, and brought ancient technologies back to life--just call me Scotty!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this game, April 22, 2001

I have read all of the reviews to date, and many of them complain about the graphics. When I got the Dig, it was the best graphics you could get at the time. Remember that it is an older game! The storyline is intruiging and some of the puzzles are extremely difficult. Some people have complained that the game is monotanous--but if you can zip right through it, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a thinking game? You play the character Boston Low, and must research and react with your crew members to get off of the alien planet you have landed on. I loved the dialgue, the storyline, the never-ending adventure game pockets, and I even have an affection for the graphics which some people have called corny and cartooney. I would hightly reccomend this game to anybody who is willing to take the time to finish the game without the cheatbook!
