Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™

What can I say? I still remember getting this game with my family's first ever PC back in 1993 when I was nine. I was absolutely mad about Indiana Jones as a kid and getting this game was like a dream come true. This wasn't some lazy cash-in like so many others were. No. This was a true Indiana Jones adventure and more than worthy of the franchise. The plot has Dr Jones looking for the greatest prize conceivable within the realms of archaeology: the lost city of Atlantis. This quest will take you to various locations around the world that involve a great mix of dialogue, fist fighting, and puzzle solving. What's more, the game has three paths to choose from: team path for those who prefer a more balanced game, fists path for those who prefer action, and wits path for those who enjoy a more cerebral approach. Each of these paths are excellently designed, lots of fun, and lend the game amazing replay value. The graphics are great and the music is beautiful. It was the so called "CD talkie" version that I got way back in 1993, and what I didn't realise at the time was that there was also a version that didn't have speech at all. Quite often I'll encounter people saying, "wow, I never knew this game had proper speech in it!" Well, GOG have naturally got the "talkie" version so you can enjoy the excellent voice acting. Doug Lee does an excellent job as Indiana Jones and would also later return for the role in the excellent Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. I hope GOG get that some day. There isn't enough space here for me to give this game all of the praise that it deserves. It is, in my opinion, the best adventure game ever made by a mile. It sparked off my own lifelong obsession with the subject of Atlantis and means more to me personally than I can ever articulate. My only regret is that we never got to see a movie version, because make no mistake, this IS the true Indiana Jones 4, complete with the series motifs that we've all grown to love. Essential buy.

This game has it all: exploration, exotic locations, fights (if you choose) and jokes - and Sophia :) You can choose between three ways to play the game, with each having its own variations of the locations and puzzles: more action (with lots of fights but less puzzles), more puzzles or more interaction with Sophia (read: more fun and jokes). The story is outstanding. The graphics are a bit dated (read: pixelated), but still good - you see the love to detail as it benefits from every scene being hand drawn. It just fits all together. The soundtrack is typical Indiana Jones. The puzzles are never unfair and it's not pixel hunting. It even starts with possibly the most innovative intro ever!

I completed this game hundreds of times and I still know exactly what to do and I could write a walkthrough right now without playing and I still play it at least once a year. Why? Because it´s the real Indiana Jones 4! Not that crystalmeth movie shit, but the hunt for atlantis. Never played it? Get it!

One of the best games ever made, period. Lucasfilm at its finest, everything about it is fantastic and it's basically what the fourth Indiana Jones movie should have been.
