Well played, sir.

I forgot how truly awesome this game was, especially in comparison to Lucas' actual attempt to make a fourth film.

It just shows that there's no point in telling an Indiana Jones story without Nazis.

I remember the fact when they were saying that indy 4 was to be made, in 1996, and people were more concerned about sean connery than indy or his adventures.

As if an indy adventure should have sean connery only because last crusade. well raider had NO sean connery. the movie took long to be made, and in the end, Sean connery was retired. I love sean connery, and I liked him in last crusade, but that was all. If he were in the fourth movie, that would make that movie worse than it already is.

I won't soil this post by mentioning the last movie, I'll just say that as I also re-watched the 3 Indy movies during this LP, I dropped Temple Of Doom after 15 minutes with utter disgust.

There's no nazi's in temple of doom, and it is the best of the series, contrary to what everybody says.

last crusade, otherwise, is the worst one, contrary to what everybody says.

For me Crystall skull is on the level of last crusade, with the of no Sean Connery nor Nazis. The thing that made crystall skull a bad movie was that they tried to make a movie like last crusade instead of a new temple of doom.

Temple of doom doesn't give you time to get bored. Last crusade had that tank chase that was so uninspired, and they dumbed down marcus brody and sallah.

People think temple is bad because of short round and willie scott. Well, the fact that willie was annoying was more fun to me than a silly marcus brody. even short round is better than a silly salah.

Plus, double traps, insects, mola ran ripping hearts, eaten by crocodiles, mine car chase, rope bridges... What is not to like about this movie?

About the game, I forgot if they really give any insight on the reason for those weird skeletons.

But I aways found funny when Indy looked at the bones on the ground and he would say some adjectives to describe them.

This is gonna be one sad epilogue, my friends. Last time our two heroes met their end in a bottomless pool of lava. So close where they to discover the secrets of The Lost Kingdom, but a stroke of fate ended their journey abruptly...

Goodbye sweet price (and princess), we'll always rememb-

That was close.

Too close.



Oh you !



At first I was like...

But then I was like...

It seems that our heroes were saved at the nick of time ! Let's get away from this lava pit...

...and enter a lava-maze !

Stick close, kid, this could be dangerous.

I'll take my chances.


It's fairly simple. we have to find the correct passages in order to move on. Sometimes you won't be able to go back the way you came because of some slippery slope you stumbled on to :

But there aren't any dead ends here, if you take the wrong turn you'll simply end up at the start of the maze.

After a while we reach a place where lava creates a shifting walkway. As we walk on it, certain areas of the path will dissolve into lava and this time you can actually get trapped.

But this isn't anything Indy can't handle...

Are you coming ?

Hold your horses.

Nice moves.

Thanks.


We've finally reached the end of the maze. The stairs lead to the exit and on the other side we find something... massive.

Those Atlantean dudes sure knew how to impress tourists.

Not what I expected, that's for sure.

And the place is still humming, maintaining the air pressure for untold centuries...

Let's see what's inside.


Inside we find a chamber filled with statue-machinery.

I'll be alright for a few minutes.

Strange enough for you ?

This must be Nur-Ab-Sal's COLOSSUS. I'm glad he's not here to use it.

Me too. What do we do now ?

I don't know. Whatever you decide make it quick.


Nur-Ab-Sal's colossus, huh ? Didn't Plato mention something about it ?

PLATO said:

As the waters rose around their city, the Kings of Atlantis, one after another sought to hold off fate.

Knowing mortal men would never rule the sea, they planned a huge colossus, which by use of orichalcum, ten beads at a time, would make them like the gods themselves.

Nur-Ab-Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned.

So, things finally start to get clear. Let's see if we can wake up this... Colossus. There's a frog-like statue here :

We feed it a bead but...

Hmm. That didn't do anything.


On the other side we find a receptacle for the stone discs :

We enter the usual combination, but...

Damn, let's use the opposite combination like we did in the air-lock entrance.

No known combination works here. What now, dammit ?!

Think, junior ! Didn't Plato say something about the Celestial Spheres being well aligned ?

Yes, he said that in order for the colossus to work the celestial spheres need to be well aligned... But what was he talking about ?

Celestial spheres, Junior. The sun, the moon... catch my drift ?

...He was talking about the stone discs ! But how are they to be aligned ? Wait a minute... wasn't there a huge wall carving in the maze, showing something similar ?

That's my boy.


Let's get back to that maze, then.

And here we are. What do you know, the answer was right in front of our eyes the whole time. Is that a sun, a moon and a volcano ?

Back to the colossus, we enter the new combination...

...and things get into motion.

Uh-oh.

What did you do now, Indy?

I think I turned it on.


Yep. An ominous orange glow has covered everything, a strange piece of machinery just appeared from the ceiling and a stone pedestal emerged right below.

Unfortunately, that's not all that has appeared.

I told you Jones would be of use to us !

Kerner ! I knew I smelled a rat.

All I smell, Herr Jones, is your fear.

Can you say "SHIIIIIT !" in Atlantean ?
