Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure

Trivia

In versions of the game that have the translation table copy protection, there is a Indy in-joke. In the top right corner of Indy's writing pad are two crossed out phone numbers. The names next to the two numbers are Marion, and Willie, which were Indy's love interests from the first two Indiana Jones films, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Temple of Doom.

Like in many other of LucasArts' games, Max makes an appearance, this time with Sam too! They can be found at the far right in Indy's office where they're "disguised" as a totem pole.

The credits are randomized so that each of the three main designers gets "top billing" at one point or another.

Indiana Jones and the last crusade was the first of two graphic adventures by Lucasarts to incorporate an IQ (Indy Quotient), which was a scoring system (the second was Fate of Atlantis). There were many different ways of completing the game.

In the German version of the game all Third Reich insignia were repainted and made invisible. (Remember the scene, where Hitler signs the diary for example - there is not a single swastika around in the German version.) That's because in Germany no toys are allowed to wake resemblances to Hitler's regime. And computer games are (legally) toys.

Although its based on the popular movie, the game does take same liberties. There are 3 posible endings, and several "alternate" ways to get from one point of the story to another (ie. when the Jones have to go to Alexandria).

Dialogue between Indy and other NPCs plays a crucial role in the progression of this game. According to the folks at Lucasfilm, EVERY dialogue situation can be solved either by talking your way out of it, or by resorting to fistfighting. This gave the player a chance to think strategically or try for the "brute force" method of solving puzzles.

The package contained the excellently written "Holy Grail Diary", which is considered one of the best gimmicks of the time. Besides being extreme fun to read, it contained essential information for solving the holy grail puzzle at the end of the game.
