You're world-famous explorer Indiana Jones, in search of a lost civilization
in one of the earliest computer game licenses of the hit movie ever made. The premise
in Revenge of the Ancients somewhat parallels the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark,
although fortunately with enough differences so as not to spoil anything for fans of
the movie. Hack your way through the steaming, tangled Mexican jungle. Fight off the
onrush of vertigo as you grope through the treacherous, tunnel maze in the
treasure-laden Tepotzteco Pyramid. Tighten your grip as you dangle from the wing of
an airborne World War I DeHavilland. Whatever it takes, INDIANA JONES, you must stop
the cruel Nazi, Plebinheim, and his SS thugs from unleashing the power of the Mazatec
Power Key against the world. Vicious bats, venomous snakes, marauding bandits - even
for the daring INDIANA JONES, this is going to be tough. The game is a cliff-hanger
similar to Angelsoft's earlier Dick Francis,
only a bit inferior due to lack of as many real-time puzzles. Still, it stands as one
of the best Angelsoft releases, and Indiana Jones fans will immediately recognize
both the physical puzzles (most of which must be solved in a certain number of turns)
and riddle-based ones. |
