We don't see many adventure games nowaday's we can only look to these lost relics in the past, and wonder, and play. LucasArt's the dig, is true to the adventure genre, it sucks you in just like a book, pity so few games do this anymore. In the dig, you're a part of nasa's space team, gone off to space to knock a giant asteroid off orbit just before it hits earth, apparently in the due process you stumble upon an ancient puzzle on the asteroid. Upon further inspection and a few nudges and twists, you find the giant asteroid to be a giant space shuttle, made by an ancient alien race. It takes you to an alien planet, where-as you must find out what to do to get back home, the further you study the alien techonoligy, the more you became aware of why they have gone away from their world. The puzzles can leave you stumped for hours, sometimes one puzzle would be more obvious then it seem's leaving you to say "OMG can't believe i didn't get this right away!" but nevertheless they leave you off with a feeling of acomplishment, and relief. At some point in the game, you might even forget that this game is just a game, it sucks you in just that much, the more you indulge yourself within the story, the more you would appreciate the adventure genre. I recommend that you play the game as much as you can for one session, for it sucks you in all the more better, games like this are precious relics that should never be forgotten.
