Game Review

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was released in 1992. It was developed and published by LucasArts. The game is a point-and-click adventure. Initially released on MS-DOS, Macintosh, and Amiga, it was later released for FM Towns.

Unlike other Indiana Jones games, including the predecessor Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, the game is original and not based on a film. A man named Mr. Smith tasks Indy with finding an ancient statue. When Indy hands the statue over, the man is revealed to be a nazi. With the help of an old friend, Sophia, tells Indy the statue has something to do with the Lost City of Atlantis. Together they embark on a journey across the globe. The game is a standard point and click adventure, with inventory-based puzzles. The game has three modes, co-operation in which the player utilizes both Indy and Sofia, adventure (Indy alone), and action, a mode with less puzzles and more fighting.

Indiana Jones is a legendary franchise and this game does the series credit. The storyline is on par with any of the actual movies. The graphics have been lovingly rendered. The puzzles are challenging, and best of all they make sense. Many of them change with each replay, giving you a different game every time you play. It's a masterpiece, perhaps the best of the Indiana Jones games.
