Indiana Jones and the Personal Computer 28 Feb, 2003, 21:04 / 5 comments

And now time for some that really interests me, seeing as how I don't have an Xbox.

The press machine seems to be revving up for the PC version of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. Both IGN and GameSpot have written previews for the non-console port, complete with new screenshots. Here's a quote from GameSpot concerning the keyboard and mouse controls:
Fortunately, the PC version of the game will use an intuitive first-person shooter control scheme in which you will move using the W, A, S, and D keys and attack using the left and right mouse buttons. You will be able to block incoming attacks by pressing the shift key, which will also automatically lock onto a specific enemy and let Indy focus his attacks. As you might expect from his many motion-picture adventures, Indy fights like a brawler, though pressing both mouse buttons also lets him grab his enemies, then shove them back against walls or even toss them off of ledges.
Sounds like fun. And if anyone has an Xbox they'd be willing to donate... we'll talk later. Thanks to Daniel Clarke for the links!

    LOL. I can just imagine an accurate Archeology minigame.

    In this game Indy looks like a bar brawler, not an archeologist...

    Hehe, as opposed to the accurate portrayal of an archeologist he was in the films? :)
