Editing The Dig (video game) (section)

==Gameplay==
''The Dig'' is a [[point-and-click adventure game]], where the player, as Commander Boston Low, uses the mouse cursor to point to people, objects, and other parts of the environment to look at or interact with them, collect and use items in their inventory, and talk to non-player characters. The game runs on the [[SCUMM]] [[game engine]], and was the eleventh [[LucasArts]] game to do so.<ref>{{cite book| chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JYfROhvXMPAC&pg=PA81 |title=Music and Game: Perspectives on a Popular Alliance |editor-first=Peter |editor-last=Moormann |pages=81–92 |location=Berlin |isbn=978-3-531-17409-9 |publisher=Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden |year=2013 |first=Willem |last=Strank |chapter=The Legacy of iMuse: Interactive Video Game Music in the 1990s|access-date=April 23, 2013}}</ref>{{rp|82}} A [[minigame]] can be found on the communicator menu, consisting of "Asteroid Lander", a ''[[Lunar Lander (arcade game)|Lunar Lander]]'' like game.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Dig - User's Manual |url=http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/6040/manuals/THE_DIG_Manual-English.pdf?t=1447352312 |pages=7 |year=1995 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202034319/http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/6040/manuals/THE_DIG_Manual-English.pdf?t=1447352312 |archive-date=2017-02-02}}</ref> During development, there were plans to include [[role-playing video game|role-playing game]] elements, but these were scrapped before the game's release.<ref name=pcgamer2015/>
