The Dig Novel - Alan Dean Foster opinions? - 06/25/03 12:21 AM
Hey folks... Is anyone familiar with The Dig: A Novel by Alan Dean Foster?
I know the book is closely related to the game, but I don't know if it merely amounts to a grandiose walkthrough, or whether it's a novel in it's own right with a plot different from the game. . . and, either way, whether it's any good.
I believe Infocom used to publish novels for text games like Zork and Wishbringer. I just found out about these, but, from what I've gathered, these are novels that take place in the game universe, but they aren't walkthroughs.
I figure it's unlikely that anyone knows about those Infocom games, but Alan Dean Foster is, I understand, a fairly well know science fiction writer.
SO... Whassuppwidduhbooks?
