Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™

This is what Kingdom of the Crystal Skull should have been; a true adventure story that follows the history of a real world myth, on par with the scale of the holy grail or the ark of the covenant. The dialogue is witty and engaging, the art style, while old, is detailed and rich, it has a score that competes very well with the film soundtracks, plus the multiple puzzle solutions and the nature of the three-way paths give this game vastly more replay value than the other LucasArts titles. A true classic that has withstood the test of time and is just as fun to play in the modern era.

There are few games that I recommend as much as this one. This is a great game. Yes the graphics are a little dated, but it kind of adds to the charm. The gameplay is really good, and the puzzles can be challenging, but you can always work them out. One of the things this game does truly well is that it has replayability. Which is rare for a point and click. But when you are getting your fortune read, you have the choice to make the puzzles harder, increase the amount of combat, or go somewhere in the middle. Which makes this a great game for people who may prefer one over the other. The plot is great, the characters are great, the puzzles are great (and usually make logical sense) It's an all around great game for people who enjoy point and click adventures.

I bought this.. back to the roots this is one of the best point n click adventures ever made. I had this in 5 disks on my PC back then. Guys, just get it. You wont regret!

I just wanted to leave my mark here as well, because this is a game I will remember the rest of my life. Playing this as a 9 yr old kid felt like I was really there at these exotic locations. It took me forever to get to the end but I didn't care I was enjoying soaking up the atmosphere so much. I am still chasing this immersion dragon to this day.

I'm storming through puzzle games lately and stumbled on this gem from 1992 mainly because there was a sale on Indiana Jones games, lucky me! I played Lucas Arts games growing up and this is a great intro to the series of games if you've not played many, or any at all. The puzzles so far are enjoyable and not too difficult. Sure you have to use mayonaise to slide some things around, but with only a few things to interact with in each area you quickly find out what needs to happen. The graphics are what they are, but what you lose in realism you gain with a really good storyline equal to that of an Indiana Jones movie. You'll meet a bunch of characters, fly across the Atlantic Ocean in search of artifacts, and roam the desert on camelback in search of hidden locations, what's not to love? The only grievences are with the action interface, which is a little cumbersome. There's an option for 9+ things depending on where you're at in the game and while there are keyboard shortcuts it can still be tough to navigate at times. The biggest gripe I have is there are commands for Push and one for Pull which will really drive you crazy sometimes. A simple combination of these two would have been super, but hey it was 1992 and they loved their action interfaces. All and all though, this is really enjoyable and worth the purchase. I've been how suprised that you don't even notice the graphics or the action interface because it's just a fun game. Thanks for the time-killer!
