Level design and feel
Richly illustrated static screens linked by cinematic transitions.
Atmospheric locations from Iceland to Crete to Atlantis itself bring the
story to life with humor, tension, and sharp writing.

Why it is notable
- original story by Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein, not tied to a film
- multiple solution paths, rare for adventure games of the era

Tips
- examine every item—Indy’s comments often hint at solutions
