Original Title: The Dig Availments: 1995 Language: German (with Voice) Age recommendation: From 12 SYSTEM requirements: PC 486 DX 33 MHz 256 VGA PCI video card 8 MB RAM 1 MB Hard drive 2x CD-ROM Recommended: 486 DX2 with 66 MHz memory Place for Scores Four Years it took until The Dig (the Excavation) developed from the first Approaches to The market, Beginning in 1995. Even if the Graphics are not as modern as with many other Games, the old Wisdom applies here: What lasts for a long time is finally Fun. This is true over the other, especially since the Basis was a (as yet) unfilmed script by Steven Spielberg. You can clearly note that to the Adventure. In addition to honed Dialogues, it has an interesting History as a Background. Even though, as is often the case in Computer Games, it is a matter of saving the Earth, the Dig does have some very surprising Twists until the time comes. An Asteroid is on a Collision course with Earth. The Player controls an All-Expedition, [Screenshot: Press conference] from astronaut Comander Boston Low (which we control), Journalist Maggie Robbins, Archaeologist Ludger Brink, Cargo specialist and Senator Cora Miles and Shuttle pilot Ken Borden exists. They are said to be carrying the Celestial Body to another Orbit with the Help of Explosive charges. However, it soon turns out that this is not one of the normal Chunks flying around in Space, but a Product of extraternatric Intelligence, more precisely a Spaceship that the Landing team of our Crew (namely Low, Brink and Robbins) also Unforeseen hijacked to a strange Planet. This is where the actual Adventure begins. In our Search for a Way to get back home, we have to get through some group dynamic Processes, pick up a lot of Objects, learn to operate strange Machines and finally even talk to Extraterrestrials. Since more than 200 Places have to be explored, there are enough Moments of Over-mixing. The dense Playing Atmosphere results from the wonderful musical Accompaniment and the sculptural Character Studies of the Characters. Puzzles are massive, always being logically constructed and slightly increasing in Difficulty. The Installation is without further Difficulty. If there are any, you can resort to an interactively designed Troubleshooting, which should also allow Laypeople to run the Game. It's Especially fun when you play to several. This allows everyone to get involved in solving the Puzzles. Frustration is more likely to be avoided and together you amuse yourself even better. Due to its Dialogues (and Non-violence), the Dig is not only suitable for Children aged 9 And over, but also for Adults quite exciting and entertaining. Source: Tentakelvilla.de
