The Dig - LucasArts Point & Click Adventures

The Dig - LucasArts Point & Click Adventures

Author: Brian - Drink the Movies December 4, 2024 Duration: 28:31

This month we carry on with our LucasArts point & click classic adventure games by taking an expedition with Boston Low to investigate a mysterious asteroid, mix up a life crystal cocktail, and dive into the creation of this game.

We look at the troubled development, the eventual release, and try to figure out Steven Spielberg's role in the creation of The Dig!

Host Brian, from the popular Drink the Movies, applies that same thoughtful, documentary-style approach to the realm of interactive entertainment.

It’s a blend of analysis, nostalgia, and casual conversation, perfect for anyone who views games as more than just a pastime. The result is a uniquely engaging listen that feels like having a great conversation with knowledgeable friends-glass in one hand, controller in the other.
