This game does not do a huge amount of original storytelling or dangle any intertwining narrative paths like other games on this list – but it is undeniably the most fun. The drop-in, drop-out co-op mode is also a fantastic addition from the other Lego games, and emulates the constant juggling of evocative companions that Indy deals with daily. No other title on this list quite captures the effortless fluidity of gameplay, the silly but respectful mockery directed at the films, and a deep homage to the source material. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is furnished with a chaotic and fast set of action-adventure game mechanics, coupled with a characteristically bizarre aesthetic blend of pseudo-realistic backgrounds and Lego pieces. Most of them got there, but there's something special about the Lego game. Many of the games on this list attempt to emulate the frenetic pace of the Indiana Jones movies, while also trying to capture the spirit of the franchise’s intricate traps and snappy humour.

The Fate of Atlantis is the first introduction to Sophia Hapgood, an archaeologist-turned-psychic, who in The Infernal Machine becomes Indy’s CIA liaison. Not to mention, if you are interested in the upcoming Lucasfilms/Bethesda/Machine Games Indiana Jones title, it looks like he might be working with the CIA for an operation in Rome. Interestingly, these were all additions in a 1993 “talkie” remaster of the game. The vibrant artistry of its scenes, the stellar voice acting, and spellbinding soundtrack never fails to enchant the player, even if the puzzles get occasionally tough. In fact, it still stands as one of the superlative point-and-click titles of all time. Bizarrely, it also has a surprisingly satisfying combat system – tied into the Indy Quotidien points you accumulate throughout a playthrough.
The game contains spiraling narrative paths that wildly diverge from each other and a custom set of gameplay verbs that helps clarify and streamline the logic of the point-and-click puzzles.
Developed on the LucasArts SCUMM engine in 1992, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is a point-and-click adventure that set the standards for the upper echelon of this genre.
