No idea what capping is. Not assuming anything. I already know what's being used. Why is this such a big deal for you? Do you work QA and worried about your job?

Those old door games used to be amazing. Local BBS also had Pimp Wars, which was hilarious at the time.

From that list, I think The Dig was the last classic “point and click” adventure game in that style I ever played. It had a pretty epic sound track for the time. If I recall the story behind it, Spielberg had wanted to make a movie with that plot but it was going to be too expensive, so they adapted it the game format instead. Makes sense, this was the era when people were really trying to dabble in the “games can be like movies” concepts, like Wing Commander 3/4

The story of The Dig begins in 1989 with Steven Spielberg. While working on Amazing Stories—a science fiction anthology TV series he created for NBC—he dreamed up an ambitious yarn about an archaeological dig on an alien planet. Realising a television budget couldn’t do it justice, he put his idea on ice.

Then Spielberg found a way to bring his story to life, with a little help from his old pal George Lucas. Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert and industry veteran Noah Falstein had developed an adventure game based on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for LucasArts, and Spielberg—an avid gamer—was impressed.

A meeting was set up at the Skywalker Ranch between Spielberg, Lucas, Gilbert and Falstein. Ideas were thrown around, and the concept for what would become The Dig gradually began to take shape. Spielberg envisioned the game as a cross between Forbidden Planet and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Indiana Jones in space.

In the years to follow, The Dig would suffer a prolonged and troubled development. Falstein eventually left the project, and Loom creator Brian Moriarty took the helm. The game was originally going to have RPG elements, such as locating food and water to stay alive, but ended up as a traditional point-and click adventure.

Over time the characters, story, and locations would change dramatically, but the fundamentals of Spielberg’s idea remained intact: archaeologists uncovering the remains of an ancient alien civilization on another world, and then—under the influence of what they find there—turning on each other.

The Dig was finally released in 1995, with Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, The X-Files) voicing the lead role. Reviews were mixed at the time, but the game has since become something of a cult classic. It’ll never be as fondly remembered as Full Throttle or Sam & Max, but it’s one of the most interesting and unusual games LucasArts ever made.
