I fucking hated this game so much.....

Take a few steps forward, hurt by random traps you have no chance of avoiding.
Get into battle and its upto fate if you live or not and even if you do your usually fucked up so bad the next fight kills you OR you get killed by a damn trap.

Use a game genie, cheats work fine....then the game somehow knows your cheating and turns the cheats off.

In all the years I've had this cursed game I've never managed to get past the 3-4th floor.

Playing this game must be like how will Smith feels when his wife makes him wear a cage and watches her screw other dudes

>>starring "some dude" as Indiana Jones

I'm OK with that. SomeDude did a pretty good job standing in for Harrison Ford. I still like the artwork though, because it was made for the game specifically. I also like that all of the items in the game are featured on a legend at the bottom.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the artwork, (the artist's name is James Kelly) it's done beautifully and in that old school movie style that George Lucas loved so much and used for his movie posters.
You may call me face blind but it just looks not-quite-like-Harrison-Ford, I'm not sure whether this is intentional (due to licencing or some other nonsense) or just the way the artist chose to paint it.
Maybe I've been awake too long.

That's what I thought, an actor being overtly protective of their image and asking for a certain amount of money for someone to use their likeness is fair enough, but I guess sometimes it's a bit too much and it's cheaper to just go "fuck it we can use a lookalike". It's common in pinball tables.

It happened with the Back to the Future pinball machine by Data East. They couldn't get Michael J. Fox to sign away his likeness, so Paul Faris (the cabinet artist) used his son as a model instead.

Based on the cover alone, this has to be either the greatest or worst game ever. There is no middle ground.
