Indiana Jones® and the Last Crusade™

Developed and published by LucasArts in 1989, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a traditional point and click adventure game, with inventory-based puzzles, developed using the SCUMM engine. The game comes with a digital manual that serves as a background material to set the player in the universe of the game.
Following similar story beats as the movie with the same name, your main objective is to guide Indy in his quest to find the holy grail. Different from more traditional point and click adventure games, there are different ways to solve some puzzles, but most depend on the exploration and interaction with the environment, if not some familiarity with the movie.
Interacting with the game is achieved using the mouse and choosing “verbs” from a list in the bottom of the screen. Initially this process may be confusing, but there are hotkeys that correspond to those verbs that may help making the game easier to navigate. Indy not only solves inventory-based puzzles, but also more action segments are present, which are controlled using the numpad.
Customizing aspects such as text speed and even full screen mode is achieved using specific key combinations. One I find is particularly important is alt+s that switches the graphic smoothing, that made the text easier to read.
Throughout the game the player is awarded points, named in game as Indy Quotient (IQ), that are summed up and presented in the end of the game as a score, possibly a product of the time this game was developed.
Being able to experience this adventure game one has to be aware of period is set in (most of the game is played in Europe in 1938), due to the presence of specific symbolism that may be considered offensive.
Overall, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is an amazing introduction to a series of games that unfortunately unlike other LucasArts titles didn’t receive reimagined remasters as the first 2 Monkey Island games, but even with that “limitation” if it’s even possible to describe it as such, this is an amazing game that I highly recommend.

It works fine on the Steam Deck. I played it for a while, mostly due to nostalgia and the fact that I like Indiana Jones games more than the movies. While I don't intend to finish it, as I don't think I remember the solutions to most of the puzzles, it was fun to replay it for a short time.

Pick this up only if it’s going for under a dollar. You’ll want to find a solid walkthrough because each playthrough has small variations that can make the game more frustrating than it should be. WARNING!! This game is a bit JANKY—it’s decent for a nostalgic run, but don’t expect anything polished. And it’s a shame there are no trophies to add to the replay value.

A good old game from the time when games were punishingly hard.
Many puzzle have obscure solutions, and you are required to note information down to solve the final puzzle,
I did do this but when I got the final room, I got it wrong. When I reloaded the game again, the hint from the very beginning of the game had changed. It was no longer Welsh, it was Olde English. I gave up there, and restarted.
The game actually isn't very long if you know what you are doing. I played through it again after messing up the final puzzle and got there in an hour and a half.
The game doesn't follow the movie which might be annoying to some but interesting to others but all in all, the game is a classic but there certainly isn't anything you are missing out on.

A brain teaser. Capitalizing on both the Indiana Jones franchise, and the blockbuster hit Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, this Lucas Arts produced game allows players to play in Indiana Jones world. The player is guided through the story of the movie by the same name until they have found the Holy Grail. More activity could have been incorporated into the story as the momentum can drag in some parts. The scoring system can be a bit quizzical. The game was consistent with Lucas Arts other creations. Rated 7 out of 10.

I originaly played this game back in th 90s. It have a great story, humor, great puzzles and it it's woth your time.
Point&Click at it's best!

Las cosas que hay que hacer en este juego, no tienen el más mínimo sentido en su mayoría. Es puro probar cosas por probar aunque parezcan totalmente inverosímiles. Nací en 1968 y me conozco todos estos juegos de aventura gráfica de memoria, pero a este nunca lo había jugado (o no recuerdo haberlo jugado). Es realmente muy frustrante. Ahora estoy en la parte final donde ni siquiera podés guardar y si morís tenés que empezar las pruebas desde el principio. Me niego a seguir una guía.
Al final me lo pasé sin guías en 30hs. El pensar y el razonar no te ayudará a resolver la mayoría de los puzzles de este juego, que está desarrollado (obviamente) por personas que no están muy bien de la cabeza. La mayoría de los puzzles se resuelven con suerte. Lo recomiendo altamente si querés sufrir.
