Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™

I love these old school point and click adventure games. I wish they made more of these indiana jones ones. I did the path where you team up with the girl, now I have to finish game solo to get parts of the adventure i missed.

Ich brauche gar nicht viel dazu schreiben. Wurde schon alles gesagt. Das Adventure gehört zu meinen All-time Favorites. Ich hole es alle paar Jahre raus, um es nochmals durchzuspielen. Und selbst nach dem 7. Mal macht es noch Spaß.

A timeless classic. I've played this gem several times since the early 90es, and in several ports and formats: Amiga, PC, diskette, CD with and without speach. It captures the essence of the Indy movies and never fails to give a relaxing adventure.

The '4th film' in the Indiana Jones franchise, The Fate of Atlantis predictably explores the mythology surrounding the lost city of Atlantis and depicts a race between Jones and the Nazis to reach it first. It is a very solid adventure and an enjoyable return for the globe trotting, iron fisted archaeologist but I find this to be one of my least favourite LucasArts adventure games. The presentation is to LucasArts quality. Graphically the game is wonderful; Jones looks like Jones and the various locales both exotic and familiar are excellently rendered, with each area visited having a very unique style and look. The voice acting however is pretty patchy, and some of the non-American characters are either difficult to understand or simply sound silly. As a LucasArts game this has the distinction of being one of the most linear adventures in the series, despite the various international trips you'll make. The plot follows a narrow progression with many instances of being in an area with only 5 or 6 rooms to explore, leading to some rather uninventive puzzles to solve that feel contrived and uninteresting in comparison to other games by the publisher. They can also get tedious and repetitive, the world stone in Monte Carlo and finding the dig site in Algeria being two of the worst offenders. The arcade fighting sequences are also pretty bad, but thankfully optional. This game does however feature far greater replayability thanks to a few dynamic puzzles and the choice of which of three paths to take about 1/3 of the way through the game. It also 'feels' like Indiana Jones, the license is very appropriately used and while linear, there is a sense of exploration and discovery that translates very well as an adventure game. Of course it's recommended but as there are a few quibbles, it would be wise to lower your expectations.
