Looking for Point n Click Puzzle Game (DOS/Win95)

Post by BlScOfDe »

Hi all,

i'm looking for the name of an old game i've played ages ago.

It's kinda a MYST-like game in terms of puzzles and graphics.

The story revolves around a couple people stranded on an alien planet. The goal is to get the spaceship working again and leave this world.
The landing place is in a circular mountain range or crater and an elevated spot in the middle where the spaceship stands. Some force field bridges connect the inner and outer part of the landscape. One puzzle is to mess with the circuit of such a bridge to get it working again. Also there is some type of creature on the other side that will try to hunt you down, but you just had to simply turn the forcefield brind off for a second to let the beast fall to it's death.

On the planet can be found some green substance that can resurrect the dead. It was used in one puzzle where you had to combine a bomb and the remains of a turtle like creature, resurrect it with this green goo (it grows back all it's tissues) and wait for a plesiosaurs like creature to eat it and explode (makes this ocean/lake passage traversable) .
There is also an option to resurrect one of your female crew members. But she'd told you to never do it because an other guy went crazy when got ressurected. I think she will run off a cliff if you resurrected her.

I hope someone recognize it or can point me in the right direction :)

This is definitely 'The Dig'. The resurrection of the fossilised turtle is one of the puzzles I remember.

You and 'FoldArt' are looking for the same game, I suspect.
