Planet Bob - Playing Indiana Jones and the last Crusade (C64)

Hi there!

 

Well, it's the action game certainly, since the adventure never made it to the C64:

Of course, "Indiana Jones and the pixelated Speccy Graphics" would've been a much more appropriate title

 

You may have guessed it, the license game at hands is the typical Indiana Jones themed mini-game collection that lets the player experience 5 scenes inspired by the movie.

 

At the core they're all jump'n'runs. Starting with Young Indy, you're first exploring a cave, then make your way from one train wagon to another. Grown-up Indy then takes over, exploring another cave, escaping a zeppelin and finally making it all the way through the traps to the holy grail.

 

The graphics are a horrible mess, with not much better audio. (The theme tune is certainly there.) The game is somewhat playable and, thank heavens, rather short:

Some future day the "Playing..." series may see...</img>
