You see, Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures doesn't take itself too seriously and that's where it succeeds. But you know something? None of this really matters in the end. This is primarily due to the fact that there's no sense of animation or realistic feelings. And guess what, the soundtrack and effects are pretty outdated. Indiana doesn't exactly walk - he hops from place to place, kind of like a "hex" game. The visuals aren't very detailed and the animation is quite bad.
It's 2D and done in the tradition of the old Ultima games. Graphics buffs, beware, this game does not look too particularly earth shattering. This game isn't out to impress anyone with its technological side its main focus is on fun. It's also very inexpensive and will play on just about any PC nowadays. So needless to say, this is the perfect time waster. The fact that this game is linear in what must be done merely amplifies the easiness and simplicities of Desktop Adventures. Almost every adventure can be finished in a good 30 minutes or an hour.
And the good news is that the quests won't have you playing for a seemingly endless amount of time. You'll have to use your famous whip or any other weapon you find to get by them.
Wild beasts and treasure hunters are trying to stop you from achieving your goals (usually to find an item). Like any good adventure game, there's also some puzzles to be solved - like how to get into certain houses or buildings or how to get from point a to point b and survive. Most quests require you to find a certain item, give that item to someone who needs it and proceed to the next portion of the quest. In fact, because of the random quest generator, there's almost an endless amount of quests to finish. It puts you in the role of Indiana himself and it's up to you to guide him through an amazing amount of quests. Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures sure is a great idea.
