Indiana Jones in the Fate of Atlantis

In 1992, the adventurous spirit of the legendary Indiana Jones was captured in the DOS game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: The Action Game. Developed by LucasArts, this game sought to bring the excitement of the Indiana Jones franchise to computer screens, offering players an action-packed experience inspired by the movie and also point-and-click adventure game of the same name. Being an action title, the game starts off where Indy is about to have an excuse to use his trusty whip: in Monte Carlo, after he recruited headstrong former student Sophia to his aid and determined the location of ancient discs needed to open the door to the lost city of Atlantis. Most action takes place in isometric view, although there are some variations along the way to keep up interest. There are even some adventure-game elements, such as Indy's inventory which you can fill with various objects to use (i.e. money to buy things). They are mostly easy though, and are there only to relieve the tension from knuckle-blistering action.
