How it feels

A brisk, whip-cracking romp through ancient ruins and Cold War intrigue that feels like playing through a B-movie matinee serial.

About

1947. The Nazis have been crushed, the Cold War has begun and Soviet agents are sniffing around the ruins of the fabled Tower of Babel. What are they up to? The CIA wants renowned archaeologist and adventurer Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. to find out. Grab your whip and fedora and join Indy in a globe-spanning race to unearth the mysterious "Infernal Machine."

What players say

A Tomb Raider-style Indy adventure of whip-swinging platforming, exploration, and puzzles that is better than its reputation suggests; an overlooked, competent action-adventure (note the planned PS1 port was actually cancelled, with N64/PC being the real releases).
