Far away in the land of 1982, I was the proud owner of a truly remarkable game: Indiana Jones for the 2600. It pointed the way to what an adventure game could be and is likely responsible, in some part, for my love of the genre. Is that too much to heap on a game that is widely considered to be horrible? Perhaps, though at the time I really did love it.
Watching The Angry Videogame Nerd try and play this game, I have no idea how I figured some of that stuff out. I did, however, ultimately beat the game! Indiana Jones for the 2600 has to be one of the most excessively arcane games ever made. The design decisions made here are probably the only ones that could make a game with four screens takes weeks of playtime to solve. Enjoy!
