The Dig really made VGA graphics shine. What a beauty, even after all these years I'm amazed by what they achieved here. How they managed to get that glowing effect is pure magic for me...

Just finished this one. It's a decent adventure game but I wouldn't put it among LucasArts best. Starts off strong, if you can overlook Maggie, but then falls apart at the end.

I mention Maggie because she really needed a rewrite. It makes little sense to send "the world's most famous journalist" as part of the team to prevent a mass extinction event. It makes less sense to put her in charge of the nuclear bombs to be used to prevent that event. And it makes even less sense than that for her to actually do nothing to participate other than follow along and make no mention of it later.

You think maybe she's brought along because the possibility of aliens, but the commander has orders to lockdown communications at any sign of contact and Maggie, who of course is strictly against censorship, unsurprisingly whines at not being able to get a story out.

Someone really wanted to push the journalist angle here and it really doesn't fit into the game at all.
