Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Fate of Atlantis has been to date my favorite of all tbe computer games I've ever had. The sad thing is my new computer does not enable the voices to come through -- guess the technology just got too far. Pity. The guy's voice as Indy was really close to Harrison Ford's. The other sounds and voices were great as was the game itself. Wish they hadn't gotten so technical with the new stuff. Playing the new stuff wears me out just thinking about getting in gear to do the controls well enough to keep from killing off Indy within the first few minutes of play. I wish I could get a copy of Fate of Atlantis that would "talk" in my current computer.

One of the things I like most about this game, and the reason I like this over any other game, is the completely different storylines. Depending on what you say, you'll either find yourself fighting everyone, outsmarting everyone, or working with your partner. This game had three completely different stories, each fit to be a movie, and the graphics for the time it was released are astounding. I also like the comments the characters would often say, and the manner in which it was programmed. I only wish more games, now with newer graphics, could be like this.

When I first played this game I knew it would be fun. You get to choose what Indy says and what he does. His sidekick Sophia Hapgood is helpful at times, but also a nag. The graphics aren't the greatest but the game is very entertaining, like Tomb Raider. This game was supposed to be made into a movie. I suggest this game for an Indy or adventure fan.

If you like this game try Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.

If there is one game that had me fascinated from beginning to the end, if there is one game that had me in dispair for finding the solution, if there is one game that reminds me of part of my life, this must be it. The storyline, the settings, the characters, the action set-pieces and the enigmas made me sometimes jump in my chair, and crave for a motion picture adapted from the game. The storyline is one of the most fascinating in years, and feels like it's the best movie never put on film. If you never played this one, you should, even now, it's one of the reasons why sometimes it feels good to have a functional 386 computer with only a diskette drive and a pc speaker with that unique kind of music. Any spectrum cult-follower knows what I mean. Mythical game, and the most addictive thing to ever grace the VGA screens ever.

I think Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is good, it's funny, you have to think (but there's a walk-through*). But it has some problems: sometimes you have to go back because they kill you, so you have to save when you think they can kill you: for example, a nazi with a gun or a fight. You can choose three paths: the team path, the wits path and the fists path. in the fists path you have to fight with the nazis and if you loose you die. You have to use: If your enemy is to your right: 7 4 1 to go back 2 5 8 to stop 9 6 3 to punch. If your enemy is to the left: 9 6 3 to go back 8 5 2 to stop 741 to punch Some riddles are difficult so you can find a walkthrough*. Before this game was created the plan was to make a film but somehow they couldn't make one and they created this game thinking of The Raiders Of The Lost Ark. It's similar to that movie.
