I can't believe someone else has actually played this *cry*. I guess I'm not really all that surprised, though.. since I do remember that some big shot was involved in its creation/production.
The Dig was a pretty fun game.. I was only about nine when we purchased a copy, so I was way out of my league, since the puzzles in this game are meant for an older audience.
I did manage to work my way through the asteroid, and into the catacomb place where I remember finding those wand things made out of geometric shapes.. and the place I really started to have trouble at was at this machine where you had to input a long sequence of color codes which would activite this robot thing that had to pick up an object at the bottom of this chasm.
Eventually me and my dad bought the strategy guide (B.I. - before internet), and I beat it.
Great game though.. it was pretty surreal, and the environments were wicked. It was the first time I had seen stuff like that.
