About The Big Dig
The year is 1986. You've lost all your money, your house has been confiscated, and you're living in your backyard shed.
A friend tells you about a secret government project from the 1950s that apparently took place beneath your backyard. Armed with a spoon, you start digging. As you uncover valuables, you sell your finds and upgrade to heavier gear. Who knows what else is down there?
