Really? That's really interesting. Do you have any more info/background how it came to be that he wrote them (and only them?)

I don't know anything more than that he was involved with writing the insults in MI1 and had some involvement in several other LucasArts games including the Dig, which I never played.

Ah The Dig. Such a nice premise, but a very disapointing execution.

Why do you say that, I quite enjoyed it, way way back... :D

Well I do have fond memories of it, I just try to forget the awkward parts. Especially the weird [dinosaur|dragon|bird]-like higher beings that you manage to wake up. They had a nice sci-fi premise and ruined it with some fairy tale mumbo-jumbo.

I do remember though that it had, some harder than usual(for a Lucas Arts game) puzzles, that I really enjoyed.

A common criticism of Card.
