Later games: Space Quest V: The Next Mutation (1993) Developer: Dynamix, Inc. Publisher: Sierra On-Line, Inc. In Roger Wilco's latest adventure, "He's Lean, He's Mean, and He's out to Clean..." Mark Crowe moved to Dynamix after Sierra bought it in 1990. Space Quest V was the first Space Quest not designed by the "Two Guys From Andromeda;" Crowe designed it himself at Dynamix, while Scott Murphy moved on to other things at Sierra. Space Quest V was the second Sierra game to have paid product placement from Sprint (the first was Leisure Suit Larry) , displaying the Sprint logo on billboards and after communications sequences in the game. The enclosed copy of tabloid newspaper Galactic Inquirer contains hints, ads that are typical of comic book ads, and articles about how a game is supposedly made. The game is perceived by some as primarily a Star Trek spoof, and it is rife with Trek allusions. There are other popular culture references throughout, including Flash Gordon, Einstein, Elvis, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, and "cameos" for other games including Pong, PacMan, and Asteroids. 2010.001.098. Gift of Ben Wilhelm The Dig (1995) Developer: LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC Publisher: LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC The Dig is based on an idea Stephen Spielberg had for an episode on his TV series, Amazing Stories. Work began in 1989 but the game was not released until 1995, setting a length of development record for a LucasArts adventure game. It included Spielberg, Orson Scott Card (dialogue), and Brian Moriarty (Loom) in the writing credits. There were four different project leaders until Sean Clark eventually completed the game. It remains the only purely science fiction game made by LucasArts. A novel based on the game was written by Alan Dean Foster, also released as an audio book. The cover of the audio book shows four astronauts, a design from the Moriarty version of the game. The later versions had three astronauts as shown on the final game cover. The soundtrack by Michael Land was augmented by hundreds of chord samples from Wagner's works arranged on synthesizer and was released separately on an audio CD. The history of The Dig is preserved online by the Dig Museum. The Dig was re-released online by Steam in 2009.2011.008..002. Gift of Ben Wilhelm |
