![]() “Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!” ![]() Marcus is way, way too excited about beads. Maybe? Indy brings his prize across the street at the college to Marcus and a “Mister Smith” who has a key that unlocks a compartment in the statue: And no statue to show for it!įor some reason, the horned statue is in one of these lockers, suggesting that a coal-shoveling janitor wanted to take it home. ![]() He probably has a major concussion at this point if not numerous fractures. Indiana Jones has fallen down five stories and been knocked out four times in the past five minutes. Not much to do here other than to take a trip down that inviting coal chute and hope that there isn’t a burning furnace at the end of it! Actually, Indy doesn’t want to do that, so it takes clicking on all of the cats to find the one real cat to scare him into tripping backwards and going down the chute involuntarily.Īn aside: So there’s a cat living in this museum on a floor with no access save one you make yourself? And it likes to sit stock-still next to cat statues? OK, Syp, you’re overthinking this. Siamese forgeries look on in disapproval as Indy distrubs their silence. How weak are these floors? Or, I guess the better question is, how tough is Indy? Here, he has an entire bookshelf fall on top of him, which doesn’t crush him but pushes him through the floor (!) down to the next story. And it’s also a death trap, because Indy can’t keep from knocking himself out. Our hero, ladies and gentlemen.īy now, it’s quite apparent that this isn’t some ancient temple at all, but a museum or some sort of 1940s storage facility. It’s a nice touch.Īttempting to use some coiled rope to go down a hole sends a totem pole crashing down on Indy, knocking him out yet again and sending him below to the next floor. I love how while he’s momentarily knocked out, his fedora floats down and more credits play. …and Indy falls into the next junk-laden room. And then, a “peculiar statue” triggers a trap door… It’s quickly apparent that none of these things fit together thematically, and Indy keeps mentioning Marcus. ![]() Indy moves quickly (which is really nice when you have a lot to check out) and offers up color commentary on the items. I totally did not remember that he was voice-acted (not by Harrison Ford, but by Doug Jones, who also did Indy in 1999’s Infernal Machine), which was a pleasant surprise.īecause this is the tutorial, the interface is stripped down to a mere cursor that allows me to send Indy to check out a variety of different objects in this room. Right after the intro credits, Indy comes flying in with a crash into what looks like an ancient temple. I even downloaded the soundtrack the other day to give it a listen-through. Even though this is vintage 1992-era MIDI music, it’s really well done. The game doesn’t mess around when you load it up - it immediately throws up the title and blasts out the classic Indiana Jones theme. Let’s head back to the SCUMM engine and the best Indiana Jones video game ever made! I can’t wait! I won’t go into huge detail as to why I love this game (as I’ve done so both here and here), but suffice to say that it was one of the most memorable adventure games of my youth, and one that I’ve only played once and never since. When I heard this, I made a sound much like a cat giving birth to a litter under extreme duress, and jammed on the “BUY NOW” button before any internet lawyers could change their minds. Last week, GOG.com finally struck a deal to sell several titles from the old Lucasfilm games archives, including one of my all-time favorites, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. You can follow the entire series on the Nostalgia Lane page.) (This is part of my journey playing through Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
