It's time for another LucasArts classic - The Dig,  a graphical adventure game  released in 1995, and  based on an idea for an Amazing Stories episode by Steven Spielberg. The game starts when Low, Brink and Robbins leave the shuttle to plant the explosives on the asteroid's surface. After setting off the explosives and successfully causing the asteroid to enter an orbit, Low, Brink, and Robbins explore the asteroid to find out that it is hollow. After further exploration (and activation) by the crew, it turns into a starship in the shape of a shining dodecahedron, transporting the three to a distant planet of unknown location. The crew starts to explore the deserted planet (named Cocytus by Brink in the official novelization), their main priority being to find a way back home. While the planet has a high state of technology, it is in a state of decay and appears to be devoid of particularly intelligent animals. The title 'The Dig' refers to the whole process of investigation and exploration of the planet, in order to make the alien machines work again and discover what happened to the lost civilization.
