Indiana Jones in Revenge of the Ancients 1987
Developed by Angelsoft, Inc.
- Point-and-click, Adventure
Based on the Indiana Jones series, this is a text adventure game that is not based on any of the films; it is rather a whole new adventure, which in terms of the franchise's storyline, takes place in 1932. As in other text adventures, the player must type the action he wants to execute when prompted, in order to advance the storyline. The storyline involves the eponymous character traveling to the Mexican jungle and explore the Tepotzteco Pyramid, with the purpose of getting the Mazatec Power Key before the Nazi forces, under the command of Plebinheim, get to it first.

Ask the title a question
Answered from what people have written, never made up: a verdict, how much when it's a matter of degree, and the sentences that say so, quoted with their names. Reviews here first, then TMDB's reviews and the title's Wikipedia plot and reception. If nothing settles it, you can put it to the curators.
