Indiana Jones And The Fate of Atlantis + The Infernal Machine + The Emperors Tomb

Join the younger of the Jones boys in some classic pc gaming.You wont find a better use of whips in videogames this side of the Castlevania series. But I jest ,these games come from game designing genii including Hal Barwood ,who in Fate Of Atlantis gave us the yardstick to judge all  point and click adventures by,and there is none better.Shame then that we were so busy following Lara`s posterior around that the series developers and subsequent sequels did so as well.The  Barwood designed Infernal Machine sees Indie battling the Commies [poor subs for the Ultimate villains -British Shakespearean thesp voiced Nazis]
and held it`s own against the corresponding Croft game of the time.Losing much of the humour charm and obscure puzzle solving that can only be done with point and click game design ,you know the kind of puzzle that requires combining a banana with a laxative to remove a large gorilla that happens to be blocking your path,after first stealing the banana from  a prison guard creating a diversion by using the jumbo sized fluffy toy on the toilet and flooding the whole building ,not forgetting to use the spanner on the broken flush handle after turning on the water supply by combining the........well you Dig by now... or your`e doomed never to solve that puzzle and that sweet pain is the ultimate sign  you are playing a truly great point and click classic.The talented coders from The Collective gave us the Emperors Tomb, and with their experience with Buffy and Star Trek DS9 the Fallen , managed to finally imbue the Jones trademark fisticuffs,gunplay,and finally whip play ,if there is such a term .

A better franchise to follow for the next great Indiana Jones game would be the  puzzle gaming mystery solving mechanics of the Professor Layton series , maybe George should give Level 5 a call.

Till that happens check this lot out.
