Overview

As a spy during World War I, Indiana Jones is sent around the world to stop German agents from acquiring technology that will strengthen the German war machine.[2]

Playing as Jones, the player travels to India, Egypt, Tibet, and London, with Germany as the final level.[2][3] The player is equipped with three weapons: a pistol, a whip, and grenades. Weapons can be used by the player to solve action-oriented puzzles throughout the game. Numerous enemies are encountered throughout the game, including guards, construction workers, monks, priests, and various animals.[3][4] Several items can be used by the player, including crosses, which refill the player's health meter; poison tips, which increase the whip's lethality; and hats, which grant temporary invincibility.[3]

Reception

Brett Alan Weiss of AllGame rated the game two stars out of five.[4] Weiss considered the game's "sluggish and unresponsive" controls to be its worst trait, but considered the game's best qualities to be the graphics and sound.[4]
