A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I recently played The Dig for the first time, which passed me by when I was younger. I had heard of it I didn't realise it was another Lucas/Spielberg game. I'd just come off a couple of other Lucasarts games and it was quite different.

Looking back it seems quite divisive, I think because it was so different to the comedy Lucasarts adventures, but there's still a lot of love for it floating around the internet, and now I've added to it here if you fancy a long read: https://p7uen.neocities.org/posts/2023-06-23-The-Dig

I've played it several times back then and kept a hand-written cheat sheet for that one puzzle where you had to get that crystal out. It was so hard without a quick walkthrough on the internet ;)

Watched a video of it recently cause I had remembered it. Thought I would watch 10 mins or so, kept watching till the end :D

When I was a kid I drew an A3-sized map of Jurassic Park on the SNES, still couldn't complete the game until I was an adult!

Haha that reminds me of Bard's Tale where we were drawing maps as we went.
