The other two wouldn't even be in my top 1000 if I ever made one, though I'm a lot more forgiving of Crystal Skull than Temple of Doom).<br /><br />It should also be noted that I haven't played Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis in at least fifteen years.Toby'chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298458468488781568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-80124442077996628892016-03-17T10:46:20.502-03:002016-03-17T10:46:20.502-03:00Oh harsh!

How can this ever-further-from-the-30s setting avoid Crystal-Skull-ism and retain the Indy spirit in the days when the Space Race is already underway and there are early computers?<br /><br />(As an aside, if they bumped this a little later- as if Ford were 5 years older or so, and set it in 1969- and had Indy seeking an artifact on the Moon ahead of the Ruskies... I dunno, I think I might almost be willing to risk similarities to Crystal Skull to see Indy dodging traps in secret Moon-people temples and fighting subterranean moon-beasts. Just saying...) :-)Andrew Gilbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604304361825660940noreply@blogger.com
