Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
DOS version
Very good game - if you don't mind its drawbacks
The Good
Well, graphics, storyline, SCUMM system, etc. are all the usual LucasArts quality - which is to say, excellent. The game had an epic feel to it - you travel around Europe to fight Nazis, rescue your father, fly a zeppilin, meet Hitler, and find the holy grail. The difficulty level is also a lot higher than in other LucasArts adventures - not only the fact that you can die, but I had to consult a walkthrough way more often than in all the other LucasArts games combined. Not sure if that's a good thing, but the LucasArts games usually are a bit on the light side.
The Bad
As I said, rather difficult, and the Nazi castle could get quite frustrating. Adventure purists will rejoice the difficult puzzles but dislike the presence of action/boxing scenes.
The Bottom Line
I felt a greater sense of accomplishment after finishing this game than after any other LucasArts adventure I solved. That doesn't mean it's better or worse, just different - not as light-hearted or humorous as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, or Zak McKracken, but a lot grittier and harder. Bear that in mind if you plan on getting this game just 'cause you like usual LucasArts sillyness.
Recommended game. Just be aware that it's not Monkey Island.
