Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992 Video Game)

Excellent Game

[10/10 · 6 December 2007]

While this game is now ancient by today's standards, it is still one of the best of its time period, and features a great set of puzzles that prove just difficult enough to frustrate you before you figure them out, as well as a helpful-but-not-too-helpful hintbook if you can find it.

The game features a wide range of locations, varying from jungle environments to Iceland to, yes, Atlantis. Each set is, as I've mentioned, pixelated and awful by today's standard, but if one is willing to look past this at the amazing care, work, and detail that went into the game, one will find a wealth of devotion put in by the designers.

Replay value is also great; with three different paths and two different endings, you can choose to use your wits, fists, or teammate to make it through and defeat the Nazis.

Dialogue is also great, with references to movies from throughout the nineteen hundreds.

Vinchenzo Natali's contribution to mind-bending Sci-Fi is, without a doubt, the best. The movie is nothing short of spectacular, with nothing being as it seems. Each character begins with their own set of characteristics and their own ideas about what they can and cannot do- by the end of their journey each will be irreversibly changed. The cast is composed of some of the strongest actors in the movie business, and each portrays both their original character and their later self in a spectacular manner. SPOILER ALERT: Kazan is an autistic savant. This means that he's very, very, very good at math. Just letting everyone know that. ;) Not so much a spoiler as it is a hint.
