Indy month continues 19 Aug, 2005, 20:50 / 16 comments

You ever wondered why we have adverts on this site? Well, it?s to make money of course. Every time you visit us the big companies pay us vast fortunes because they want you, our glorious readers, to buy their products. All this money (and we?re talking gold and silver here) gets put into a big fat fund which we use for important excursions like, you know, e3 and stalking Ron Gilbert. Anyway, this year all the wonderful money went to me and I took it all in a big suitcase with a dollar sign on it to Crete to have a whizzy-jolly time. It was all in the name of research, though; I was really reviewing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Found out how I got along on my holiday research trip here!

And incidentally, our thumbnail generator is broken because, as Remi puts it, of those "God damn LFN Nazis" - so you?ll just have to make do with broken images whilst I go for a fly in Ron Gilbert's old plane (bought of off him with Mojo funds, naturally)

    Jeepers Creepers! I started playing this game again after all these years and forget how incredibly HARD it is! Yikes. The Syberia games are nothing compared to this.

    I fianlly found a 2nd hand copy of LucasArts Archives Vol 1 on an online auction and bought it soley for the talkie version of Indy Atlantis. Installed it with ScummVM last night and had a quick play. Man, it's nice to have full speech (Marcus excepted). I haven't played my old floppy version in, I dunno, 12 or 15 years, so it's bringing back some nice memories.

    It's worth a five
    this game is one of the best adventure games i have on shelf, maybe it always will be, but i have always been excited when i played it over the years. And heck i still do.

    Indy-month: A month's worth of Indy articles, or an excuse to get a month's time to write a week's worth of articles. You decide.
  • Gabez on 23 Aug, 2005, 14:44…
    Hmmmm... there will be four Indy articles, just as many as Star Wars had last month, so you really shouldn't be complaining (and it's not as if you're paying me to do this, Jeeze ??)
  • csenosiain on 24 Aug, 2005, 14:44…
    Yeah.................but I had nothing else to complain about
  • jp-30 on 20 Aug, 2005, 20:54…
    What, no mention of that beautiful opening credit sequence? Bastard.
  • Gabez on 23 Aug, 2005, 14:45…
    Yeah, I meant to mention that. It is nice, but on the other hand every other review ever has mentioned it to death.
  • Udvarnoky on 19 Aug, 2005, 21:23…
    Fate of Atlantis is a five-skull game goddammit. I demand a re-review!
  • Gabez on 19 Aug, 2005, 21:25…
    Heh I was a bit harsh actually... but I dunno, for me it wasn't up there with Psychonauts, LeChuck's Revenge and Grim Fandango. It lacked an edge.

    If more people complain then I'll happily notch it up to 4.5 stars though. ;-*

    Start a petition or something!
  • Remi O on 19 Aug, 2005, 22:35…
    To me it's a 4.5 star game, but you shouldn't be swayed by the majority. ;
  • Gabez on 19 Aug, 2005, 22:57…
    But being swayed by the majority is what the Gabzo is all about!
  • woxel1 on 20 Aug, 2005, 06:44…
    Give it a five.
  • Gabez on 20 Aug, 2005, 08:22…
    4.5 is as far as I'm going. Read my review to find out why. ;
  • woxel1 on 20 Aug, 2005, 16:33…
    All I can read are lies.
