The Indiana Jones game that wasn't based on a movie and that turned out to be better than the real Indiana Jones 4. I don't think I need to say more.

Its old, i got it mostly because its one of those games i played when i was a kid. Its has a great story and i remember it well as one of my favorite point and click adventure games, right up there with the first Monkey Island game.

For starters, I was not born around the time of old point and click adventures like LucasArts', but i would imagine that many people played them. why? Because LucasArts made what are quite possibly the best story driven point and click games. Where to begin? The graphics are as they were 20 years ago, and yet they still feel fresh, so nostalgia will hit hard with older gamers. I have not played the original, so I am not sure if this version is different in any way, but it has the original music, voice acting and graphics, so I assume it's the same. Even though i was born around the time where they started moving on to making more Star Wars games (which were mostly good, and one of them is one of my most favourite games of all time), I still wanted to try these. Last year, I saw a show with a segment about LucasArts' history, and they talked about games like Loom, Indiana Jones And the Fate Of Atlantis, Full Throttle, The Secret Of Monkey Island and many more. And I always like games with a big focus on story lines, and I decided to try them since it would be a break from Call Of Judy or whatever generic shooters are called these days. So I found a bundle with a few of LucasArts' games, and while the controls are a bit fiddly at first, I think Loom, The Dig and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis will keep me playing 'till the credits roll because of the stories that just make you reflect after the end. It's like reading a book, you say you will read one chapter, and then you read the whole book. It's games like these that make me wish I was born in 1990. Nowadays it's all about pwning n00bs in halozone with masterchef or something. Sorry for the long review about me saying how much i like the stories in these games, But after all, the one thing that sticks around in your mind about a game, is it's story. Thank you for reading.

Edit: Another thing about their games, is that the writing is so good, It's always full of humour.

I remember this being one of the first games I ever played, albeit when I was a kid I didn't get all the references, and some of the puzzles were a little above me- but a classic point-and-click puzzle adventure game. This game did a good job with the music score, and voice acting as well as having decent graphics for its time. Some of the puzzles are challenging, and some of the controlls in can be hard to figure out in certain puzzles (e.g. the hot air ballon). This however in my opinion, in no way diminishes the story or the excement that you will get when you're trying to figure out the proper thing to say in the middle of a seance! It of course has Indy's classic humor with banter between Sophia Hapgood (don't think she's in any of the movies) and Marcus and some of the other characters that we're familiar with. Love some of the available dialogue options, they can be funny at times, as well as down-right get you into trouble!

It is clear that the writers put a lot of thought and attention into ancient Atlantian mythology, and that is a plus. They detail excerpts from Plato and other ancient philosophers and theorize on supposed ways to find Atlantis. You will enjoy the dialoge, the score, the puzzles, and the action that is packed into this game, I recommend a try.

Such a dramatic improvement over the previous Indiana Jones adventure: The Last Crusade. This game features brighter graphics, voice acting, and actually entertaining puzzles. The characters, even the minor one-timers, have so much development. The writing can even be hilarious at times. It has the same, typical "Look at", "Walk to", "Talk to", etc. features as other point and click games from this era, The game can actually challenge you in the sense of well-thought out puzzles that make you really feel like an adventurer, unlike the last Indy game. I would love to see this genre return, maybe another Indiana Jones game? Come on, LucasArts, make it happen! ... Oh, yeah...Disney happened. Well a man can dream can he?
