Walk your little stick figure everywhere and solve the mystery based on the film.
The title was an old-fashioned, walk-around type of adventure. You had to move Indy around various rooms and landscapes, fighting snakes and other enemies with your whip but not much else. In every area, you had to solve some sort of puzzle and figure out how to get to the next destination. Simple? Not so fast. For what it was, this game was a real stumper. It was one of the first games that drove us to use clues and hints. It was remarkable for combining an exciting adventure story with a thinking element, and today it is sadly rare to see a game for young players accomplish both these ideals.
For its time, this game was a lot of fun. It always brings back fond memories.
