Description

Communists in 1940s Russia must be stopped form rebuilding a time machine. Are you ready to lead Indy into adventures in lost temples, buried mountains and unknown mines, for tales of missing artifacts, snake encounters and other things?

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine combined action and adventure in a way the older Indy games did not do. The gameplay is inspired by Tomb Raider, as Indy moves through 3D representations of 17 locations around the world. The game engine is modified from Jedi Knight.

Puzzles based around switches and precise jumping must be negotiated. You must use ladders, ropes and dinghies as well as moving on foot. Replacements for your standard whip can be collected en route, including machine guns and bazookas. You will also find yourself aboard a jeep and a mine cart.

Trivia

To further the Guybrush Threepwood "skin" mentioned below, use of the bazooka weapon while "dressed" as Guybrush will produce, instead of a rocketing bazooka shell, the explosive propulsion of a rubber chicken, as Monkey Island-ish Caribbean tropical steel drum music plays on.

(Determining whether or not the rubber chicken contains a pulley in its middle is left as an exercise for the reader.)
