Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures
Type of Program: Game, Action puzzle
Supported Platforms: Windows 3.1x
Company: LucasArts
Version: N/A
Price: unknown
Installed Size: 2.5mb (demo version)
LucasArts is back to marketing the old Indiana
Jones character to milk out every last cent they
can from him - I would like all of you out there to give a very
warm "hi" to Indiana Jones and
his Desktop Adventures! You will now have a modern-day Tarzan
swinging about inside your
screen while you work.
Actually, though, it's more while you're off-work. LucasArts is
taking a break from
their large, intense games to one we can actually finish in our
lunch break. I reviewed only
the demo version, but in the complete version each adventure will
be randomly generated, to
bring you back for more.
GRAPHICS This very different from most of
LucasArt's stuff - don't expect TIE Fighter or Rebel
Assault here. This small game has neat and simple graphics; not
bad all in all, but pretty
reminiscent of the old Nintendo NES systems.
SOUND Sound is also pretty simple: a basic
gunshot here, a whip crack there (you didn't think
he'd leave without his whip did you?)
INTERFACE Overall very simple, but something
like arming yourself or taking a potion may take
more than a little practice, especially since the icons are
pretty small.
THE BOTTOM LINE is that this game basically *is*
a Nintendo NES system, perhaps with slightly
crispier graphics, but fundamentally the same. Of course, that
didn't stop the sale of the
Atari 2000 Pack did it?
