lucasarts had a string of hits that are timeless, dig, day of the tentacle, sam and max[had own tv show], and full throttle. great single player games that didn't require fast user clicks. you can go at your own pace.

it was like the studio Ghibli of the 90s

> sam and max[had own tv show]

Sam and Max was a 80s-90s comic by Steve Purcell[0], who was also a LucasArts employee at the time. You will recognize his art style in several Monkey Island scenes.

Anyway the point is that the tv show was not based on the videogame which you seem to be implying, but on the comic instead.

The comic series is artistically amazing. Purcell is a master of setting an atmosphere. It's also meant to be comedic but the humor is mainly cartoon violent slapstick mixed with pop culture references (of the time). It's dated by now.

Man, I loved The Dig. Once my kids are old enough to _not_ have nightmares from some of the scenes we're doing it.

If you loved The Dig, you'll badly want a remake after this https://youtu.be/xHJlIhpNS2I
