I think if you pick "With LUCK you might just squeeze through" she will do it.

But yes, there are no dead ends outside DEATH ... never argue with a Nazi holding a gun.

IIRC there are 4-5 places you can die in the game. Also, losing any fistfights vs. nazis (fists path) will get you killed.

Is this the end ? Is our favorite archaeologist buried forever in Knossos Labyrinth ? Will Kerner have both Atlantis and the girl ? Will Hitler become an invincible orichalcum-generated GUNDAM robot ?

30ww307.jpg
Not if I can help it.

w9k65t.jpg


Our trusty ship rib hasn't failed us yet !

30ww307.jpg
You know, I think one of the stones is starting to move.

25fnma8.jpg


:salute:









Das Boot.










zob5h2.jpg



We've got a ride to catch.

2hz5rfp.jpg


Uh-oh.

34yxnic.jpg
I'm the captain here... and I don't tolerate stoways.

All responses lead to the same thing, so let's be xtreme.

rtetza.jpg


iliuso.jpg
Are you a sub-captain or merely sub-human ?

34yxnic.jpg
Defend yourself, Amerkanischer Schwein !

23swu89.jpg



He's as frail as a puppy.

2cprplv.jpg


Fuck yeah !

30ww307.jpg
Whoa ! We're getting underway !


We better get down.

2q1884w.jpg



I have a hunch we are.

mac7xv.jpg



Hmm, we're moving around in the waters near the Thera island.

sq3769.jpg




The island of Thera, or modern Santorini, was part of the Minoan Empire during the Bronze Age of ancient history. Located in the Aegean Sea, the island has become the best known and one of the most visited of the Minoan sites. The theory that this group of islands could have once been the "Atlantis", is very tempting, and not completely out of the realm of possibility.

29ndkkh.jpg


There are many strong arguments that Thera is Atlantis:
  • In Plato's dialogues, Atlantis was a sea-faring and peaceable civilization. Minoan archeological evidence points to the lack of depictions of warfare in its artwork, which was very common in Greek art.
  • Like Atlantis, the Minoan culture ended in a cataclysmic way. Around 1470 B.C., a massive volcanic eruption left a huge crater in the center of Thera, which turned one big island into a series of smaller islands. Whatever was in the middle is on the ocean floor now. This supports the "sunken city" story.
  • Based on Plato's description of Atlantis physically and topographically, many believe Atlantis and Thera could have been one and the same.
  • The ritual of bull jumping commonly depicted in Minoan artwork parallels stories told by the Egyptian priests (in the legend) that describe the inhabitants of Keftiu (a city in Atlantis) of ritual bull jumping and sacrifice.


I think it's time to take matters on our hands. Let's check out this lever here.

t7iu02.jpg



What ? I searched for the word and it's not even a real German word. Probably some kind of pun. Anyway, It's customed to pull all levers we come across, so...

4t96bc.jpg
Wonderful ! It snapped right off !

Great, we just destroyed a valuable piece of equipment. Let's see what else we can destroy, there's an intercom here:

mmr97d.jpg



Hmm, it's not a bad idea to clear the submarine of any wandering sailors.

30ww307.jpg
Now hear this : "all hands to the stern torpedo bay."


That should do it. Let's get down... hey it's Sophia !

2ii92pv.jpg

o8cgt4.jpg


2ufu936.jpg
Sorry. Must have been my imagination.

5wkqwh.jpg
Grr.


Damn, that guy is a real watchdog. We must find another way to reach Sophia. To the left we find the kitchen. There's a loaf of bread here, I bet Jones is getting hungry.

24fi3y9.jpg



And what about those pieces of cold meat hanging from the ceiling ?

30ww307.jpg
Bratwurst, bologna and salami. They've just about got themselves a delicatessen here.

Let's make a sandwich, then !

4t96bc.jpg
It's a sandwich worthy of Dagwood Bumstead.


This sandwich along with a beer-mug and some other stuff are used in the WITS path. Here all we can do with it, is fill our bellies.

149o21s.jpg



Further on, we come across another piece of machinery.

t8p6hd.jpg



Of course we try to use it...

2vmsd93.jpg


Whoa, we're actually controlling the submarine with this. This one is the speed lever. As you can see the other instrument is the one we destroyed, so it can't be used right now.

Let's see what other controls we can find here...

30uwi6s.jpg



I have no idea what this thing does. Why don't we move to-

k20dp2.jpg


Still standing in "attention". One can only admire the efficiency of the German troops.

Now, why don't we search the lower level of the sub ? Some kind of fluid is leaking down there.

w0ieev.jpg


30ww307.jpg
That stuff looks pretty corrosive.

Corrosive you said ? We must absolutely have this ! The clay jar seems like the best container to store the fluid.

2vx13ky.jpg



If we step a bit to the right we'll find ourselves next to where Sophia is detained. The German has been trying to interrogate her... unsuccessfully. Maybe we should try to talk to her through the vent :

29ogw1z.jpg


2ufu936.jpg
Indy ?

5wkqwh.jpg
Jones can't save you now, Madame !

33bo7l3.jpg
Uh... wait... I'm getting a message...

34xi1hl.jpg


5wkqwh.jpg
Nur-Ab-What ?

2ufu936.jpg
An old friend from Atlantis. His spirit is calling me.

Let's talk to the great spirit.

iedyqf.jpg


2ufu936.jpg
Alas, Nur-Ab-Sal is weak and far away.

30ww307.jpg
Where are the stone disks ?

33bo7l3.jpg
Uh... Nur-Ab-Sal refuses to share his secrets until he is released !

4t96bc.jpg
Come on, tell me where the stones are.

33bo7l3.jpg
Nur-Ab-Sal is impatient and angry and uncooperative today !

Damn her hardheadedness !

30ww307.jpg
Tell nur-An-Sal that I've got a plan.

2ufu936.jpg
Nur-Ab-Sal is listening...

30ww307.jpg
Just distract the guard for a while, okay ?

33bo7l3.jpg
Nur-Ab-Sal understands all... Wait... what... oh, darn !

5wkqwh.jpg
What happened ?

2ufu936.jpg
I've lost contact.

5wkqwh.jpg
Too bad.


The guard seems gullible enough.

e6wt48.jpg


5wkqwh.jpg
What is it now ?

2ufu936.jpg
I was just wondering...

5wkqwh.jpg
Yes ?

2ufu936.jpg
Oh, it's probably nothing.

5wkqwh.jpg
I order you to finish your sentence.

2ufu936.jpg
Well, you know, you look just like William the Conquerer.

5wkqwh.jpg
You think so ?

2ufu936.jpg
The resemblance is uncanny.

A spitting image.

5wkqwh.jpg
I always suspected that I had royal blood in my veins !

2ufu936.jpg
Perhaps I should tell your fortune.

5wkqwh.jpg
Would you ?

33bo7l3.jpg
Certainly, here goes...

5nvokn.jpg



Wow, she can really read the future. Now that the guard is occupied we can go downstairs with ease. Hey, our old friend Kernel is right next door ! And what's that in front of us ?

qxwjlg.jpg



Of course we grab it. It might come in handy.
Ok, now it's time to take care of that guard. Let's sneak up to him and surpr-

jhelaf.jpg


fuck.

5wkqwh.jpg
Talk fast, and I better like your tone of voice, or you're a DEAD MAN !

30ww307.jpg
Hi, I'm selling these fine leather jackets.

5wkqwh.jpg
You think I'd fall for that, Amerikanner spy ?!

mt9hte.jpg

6yh69w.jpg



Wiseguys have it tough in this game. Let's try another approach.

ejs900.jpg


5wkqwh.jpg
"Bucket head" ? What kind of an insult is that ?

4t96bc.jpg
I'll let Sophia explain it to you
2mr9tg1.jpg


294l56h.jpg

2rmy347.jpg

efrkv7.jpg


What, no hugs and kisses ?

30ww307.jpg
Nice work. Do you know how to run this boat ?

33bo7l3.jpg
Are you kidding Jones ? I'm a spiritualist, not a navigator !

30ww307.jpg
So, what do we do now ?

2ufu936.jpg
Kerner claims here's an underwater entrance to Atlantis near here. Let's find it.

30ww307.jpg
Any idea where Kerner put the stones ?

2ufu936.jpg
We're out of luck. He's got them in his quarters.

30ww307.jpg
We'll see about that.


I'm sure we'll come up with something, but first I'm curious about what this wheel here is...

2hcoxn5.jpg



Ah, it's locked. Let's search the rest of the ship.

4t96bc.jpg
Are you coming ?

2ufu936.jpg
I'll stay here and make sure Sleeping beauty doesn't wake up.


Ok, if we walk a bit to the right we'll find a trap door that leads next to Kerner's room. The walls are thin...

9jnfps.jpg


2d9sl09.jpg
Relax ? We're approaching a civilization that played with the forces of nature the way we play with toys !

2i0y0x.jpg
Come now, don't exaggerate.

2d9sl09.jpg
How else do you explain the wonders of orichalcum, or the stone disks... Hm... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE STONES ?!

2i0y0x.jpg
Calm down, they're right behind you, in the captain's strong box.

2d9sl09.jpg
Oh... Where was I ?...


How nice of them to mention the location of the stones. Let's examine the strong box.

211pd9c.jpg



Certainly not strong enough to withstand my acid attack.

2cfoz1x.jpg


30ww307.jpg
Here are the stone disks... and there's a small key here too !


Two birds with one stone. Now let's see if we can repair that instrument we broke. We need a new lever and that plumber's stick looks like it could do the trick...

2nknpyh.jpg



Amazing. All that leaves us is that locked wheel. How about using the little key we've got ?

2qvbkvk.jpg



Incredible. Now we have all the instruments that control the submarine's movement at our disposal. Kerner thinks that the entrance to Atlantis is near here... Let's see if he's right !


MINIGAME !


The entrance is randomly chosen each time. Right now it seems the entrance to Atlantis is.... HERE !

11lkbj5.jpg



So, we must navigate the submarine into the air lock. From left to right we have the controls for depth, direction, :don'tknow: and speed.

30rp3kw.jpg



After some precise calculations and many delicate maneuvers...

mip0gj.jpg



BINGO !


s2zhqa.jpg


30ww307.jpg
We're hundreds of feet below sea level, yet there's enough air pressure to keep the water out. How is it possible ?

2ufu936.jpg
Welcome to Atlantis, Indy.




Welcome to Atlantis.

Yeah, Zeus fucking around and Hera getting revenge on him has created many lulzy Greek myths. Of course it was always the humans that took the heat.
In this case I was referring to the situation involving a sacred bull, a queen cursed with zoophilia and a hollow, artificial cow constructed by Daedalus.

Did you just leave the captain's limp form atop the submarine when it went under? p extreme

"bucket head"? "pail"? The puns, they hurt!

That's what you get for sleeping when on duty, on top of a submarine.

Now, I am spending most of my time playing a certain strategy/RPG/sensual game, but I was also usure as to how to proceed with the LP...

Should I :

[ ] Continue as it is.
[ ] Also show the other two paths leading to Atlantis.
[ ] Let meetdug and Andyman pick it up and finish it in a joint effort.

Or don't. It's pretty much whatevs if you ask me. I can take care of one of them if you're not feeling up to the task. :M

Oh you. I'm actually considering bringing in meetdug as co-host for my upcoming video lp of Xenogears.

Another vote for the alternate paths! I do realize this means more time, but for this Indy game it should be worth the effort.

show the other 2 alternate paths.

it's about all the same thing once you reach atlantis, no matter the path.

And by playing them, the LP will feel more complete...

At the very least, the WITS path needs to be shown. Going team is like playing monkey island 3 without selecting Monkey Island Mega Monkey

Ok I new it would come to that. So let's see what would have happened if Indy gave Sophia the boot and went on to take action onto his own hands, or more precisely... FISTS.

2u6od9x.jpg


2ufu936.jpg
Are you absolutely sure ?

iliuso.jpg
Yes, I'm sure. I want action.

33bo7l3.jpg
Okay, if, that's how you feel. I won't try to stop you.

aatxfb.jpg


xgmedl.jpg










Alternate History - FISTS : Just A Simple Professor... With Nerves Of Steel.









Yep. It's time to chew gum and kick ass... and we're all out of gum.

2cnh10i.jpg



Algiers is a different place now. The beggar doesn't have much to say and the balloon isn't on the roof anymore.

2lxjhx5.jpg



No more knife-throwers and squab-on-a-stick sellers, either. Well, at least we'll still find Al-Jabbar in his shop, right ?

250joqt.jpg



...wrong.

2qd8rut.jpg


30ww307.jpg
Are you Omar ?

2labynp.jpg
You mean MISTER Al-Jabbar ? Ha ha ha. That is an oh-so-good one, effendi. I'm his trusted servant, Paul... Paul Abdul.

Paul Abdul ? :lol:

30ww307.jpg
Can you arrange a meeting with Mr. Al-Jabbar ?

2labynp.jpg
I suppose I could, effendi, but my master rarely deals with clients in person. Why should I bother him ?

2poabm8.jpg


All responses lead to the same thing...

2labynp.jpg
Doesn't everyone ? You'll have to give me a better reason than that.


Unless we somehow give him a good reason he won't set up a meeting, so there's nothing more to do here. How about venturing into the streets of the inner city ?

p84np.jpg



Nothing more to do here, it seems. Xtreme indy will have to subdue his rage and go to Monte Carlo.

sbnbdj.jpg



Hey, that's Trottier in the street there ! Thank god for metagaming knowledge.

euiuev.jpg


kbrs07.jpg
Possibly... who wants to know ?

30ww307.jpg
Dr. Indiana Jones of Barnett College.

kbrs07.jpg
Jones... Jones.... Ah yes, the famous archaeologist !

30ww307.jpg
Actually, I'm just a simple professor.

kbrs07.jpg
Leave the modesty to me sir. Allain Trottier : amateur scholar, part-time poet, professional dreamer.

And delusional sucker. Yeah, yeah, we know.

30ww307.jpg
I've heard you deal in Atlantean artifacts.

kbrs07.jpg
Ahh, my reputation precedes me. But to prove you're worth dealing with, answer me this : Why did the Atlanteans build their "huge Colossus" ?

6iwgow.jpg


All of us familiar with Plato's work, know the answer of course.

kbrs07.jpg
Yes ! Excellent ! Obviously you know Plato's lost Dialogue well.

30ww307.jpg
2mr9tg1.jpg


kbrs07.jpg
Personally, I doubt I can help you, but my name IS recognized among dealers in antiquities. Maybe my business card will be of some use to you.

Yay, we got Trottier's business card.

2q9jf9i.jpg



And with that at hand it's time to go back to Algiers.

jzjw8y.jpg


2labynp.jpg
Hmmm, the business card of Monseiur Trottier. That's different. Perhaps Mr. Al-Jabbar WILL desire to speak to you.

30ww307.jpg
Will you take me to him ?

2labynp.jpg
I'll go talk to Mr. Al-Jabbar. Wait here until I get back.


Now we can wait here all we want, but it won't do us any good. What we should do is follow Paula --er-- Paul Abdul, in order to find Omar's house.

219o32r.jpg



Super-mini game ! We'll follow the red fez around the busy Algerian streets...

34qk60n.jpg

358um82.jpg



Victory !
Hey, what's going on here ?

8yf9mv.jpg


34fbi83.jpg
...not for all the riches in the world.

2lpc2d.jpg
Tell me more or, die !

2labynp.jpg
May the fleas of a thousand camels torment you !


An evil NAZI is threatening our dear Omar ! We can't let this go on.
There are two ways to deal with it...




===============================================================================
1. THE WAY OF THE WHIP:
===============================================================================

nqsffq.jpg

fcnr7n.jpg

21o8qwx.jpg


pawned by hanging crockery.




===============================================================================
2. APPROACH OF THE NINJA BARBARIAN
===============================================================================

Let's silently sneak up to him-

3150umf.jpg

2zgvqxz.jpg


Damn, dual-classing a barbarian into a ninja wasn't such a good idea.

30ww307.jpg
Oops.

2lpc2d.jpg
So, Dr. Jones, you fell right into my trap !

Let's be stereotypical too : No, it's YOU who fell into MY trap !

kdoh15.jpg


:WHAM:

30sx4s7.jpg


===============================================================================





Whichever way we chose to deal with the soldier, the conclusion is always a happy Omar.

2wpuver.jpg


34fbi83.jpg
What's your name ?

30ww307.jpg
Indiana Jones.

34fbi83.jpg
Realy ? The famous archaeologist ? What brings you to North Africa ?

When you're badass everyone has heard of you.

30ww307.jpg
I've heard you know something about Atlantis. I'm looking for it.

34fbi83.jpg
Take my advice, Doctor, and give up. There are men who will KILL to stop you.

Meh, Kick-ass Jones doesn't give a shit.

2j1prg5.jpg


34fbi83.jpg
You know the man, I see. He forced me to reveal the source of my Atlantean artifacts. He and his team are out in the desert, turning a modest discovery of mine into a major dig.

iliuso.jpg
What are they searching for ?

34fbi83.jpg
They seem to have found an outpost of the Lost Kingdom, and they're stealing my treasures !

iliuso.jpg
What were they doing here ?

34fbi83.jpg
The dig site isn't enough to sate their greed. They want more.

2labynp.jpg
Camel-flea-ridden bastards all of them !

34fbi83.jpg
Now, since you saved my life, here's a map and a camel to speed you on your way.

2mc7soy.jpg

24fw5dd.jpg


30ww307.jpg
What map ? Which camel ?


We'll have to find them ourselves. Let's search the house.
There's a blackbird statue here...

1zmmrrt.jpg


heh.

i4h6s1.jpg



We can pick it up but it doesn't do us any good now, it's for another PATH. The same goes for a soapstone carving we can find nearby. What is of importance though, is that bamboo stick here.

1zzp7gw.jpg



Now, what's that hanging from the ceiling ?

14dk96s.jpg



That stick will help us steal Omar's laundry...

2u7t0rm.jpg



2mr9tg1.jpg



I guess it's time we rode that camel that awaits by the window, and venture into the vast, deadly desert.

m8dzc4.jpg


I hope it doesn't die on us after a couple of miles...



Stay tuned. Next time we'll be chased by sand-nazis, dodge bullets and kick more ass.

I love this pic, I suggest we upload it as an avatar image. So the Fists' path predates (and is much better than) the XTREME/dumbed down gameplay of Mass Erect?
