1982: Howard Scott Warshaw designed this fairly successful movie spin-off game for the Atari 2600 and caught the attention of Steven Spielberg. Unfortunately, Steven requested that Howard develop his other movie into a game as well - E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Result? Video Game Crash of 1983.
1985: Very popular arcade based on the movie, this was a fully licensed LucasFilm game, and as such, featured the real theme music from Indiana Jones along with sound clips of Indy and other characters from the movie.
1989: Ported to the 8-bit NES system, Temple of Doom arcade was universally panned by critics and gamers because of its poor graphics and frustrating gameplay. Among the major problems was the new feature only the NES version had - Indy could now jump - but it was glitchy and almost uncontrollable.
1992: This LucasArts game using the famed SCUMM game engine is considered the best Indiana Jones ever game made, and frequents many 'Top DOS Games' lists. The Fate of Atlantis doesn't follow any of the Indiana Jones movie plots, but rather developed its own story line centering around agents of the Third Reich and the search for the mysteries behind the lost continent of Atlantis. This adventure game has many interesting puzzles, some fist fights vs Nazis, and the story branches off into several alternate paths each with their encounters and objectives, giving it a lot of replay value.
1994: One of greatest Indiana Jones games for the console, this SNES-exclusive title follows Indiana as he journeys through the storyline of all three Indy movies. Excellent graphics, gameplay, great boss fights and several 3D mini-games made this a memorable an fun gaming experience.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was indeed a masterpiece. At that time it offered a ton of replay value with the three different paths. Also the CD version was even better! The music was also great. Lastly the plot in that game
was far better than something like the movie from 2008.
Anyways. I've always been a big Indy fan and I voted :)
