You’re absolutely right. This is really the only way to get more Indiana Jones content, which is something I didn’t even realize how much I wanted more of until I started this game. It’s such a great character.
What, you mean Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny didn’t scratch that itch???
But yeah, the character just doesn’t work as an old man and really doesn’t work as a really old man. Kingdom also tried subbing in the Soviets as a 1:1 replacement for the Nazis which was very classy
The Soviet thing didn’t work for Indiana Jones either. He’s a very worldly guy and I don’t really see it in his character to be fully anti communist, he’d be a guy that understands the ins and outs of the Soviet union but his primary concern is doing archeology wrong and punching people so it’s not a big part of his life. Hating nazis, sure, they’re nazis, hating Russians is weird.
In Kingdom it’s revealed Indy served in WW2 and is now a war hero and stalwart American patriot. I guess he wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to kill more Nazis but Indy as a soldier still felt off to me
Oh man I completely forgot about the Soviets in Crystal skull. What an absolutely trash movie. Now I really wish they had just skipped those and went straight to video games lol
I have to look up dial of destiny later. I think Crystal skull damaged my psyche in a way that prevented me from being aware of that movie when it released. I’m sure it’s probably better this way but I’m kind of curious to see how bad it is.
Yoooo I had a ton of fun with that game as a kid, but remember it being pretty difficult for 11 year old me. I think I have it on steam, definitely have it on an n64 emulator but iirc it doesn’t emulate super well

He would also be too old. He served in ww1

The Alien effect.
Infernal Machine (1999) was the first to substitute the USSR for the nazis

This might be a way to emulate it well, it’s what the speed runners use
