Didn’t Spielberg work on The Dig with Lucasarts? Now that you mention it, it does seem weird they’ve never made that into a movie.

The story at the time (true or not, who knows) was that the dig was meant to be a film but was too expensive to make so it became a game instead.

The Dig was derived from a story idea for a TV episode that Spielberg was involved in (supposedly Amazing Stories). But that wasn't filmed, so the idea got finally handed down to Lucas Arts.
