I'm Gaming Jay: Youtube gamer, let's player, fan of retro games, and determined optimist... Join me in this series while I try out EACH of the video games in the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE, before I die. The game review for each game will focus on the question of whether you MUST play this game before you die. But to be honest, the game review parts are just for fun, and are not meant to be definitive, in depth reviews; this series is more about the YouTube gamer journey itself. From Mario games to the Halo series, from arcade games to Commodore 64, PC games to the NES and Sega Genesis, Playstation to the Xbox, let's play those classic retro games that we grew up with, have fond memories of, or heard of but never got a chance to try! And with that said, the game review for today is...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Last_Crusade_(1991_video_game)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is an action video game for the NES. Published in 1991 by Taito, it was based on the 1989 film of the same name.
In the game, the player controls the protagonist Indiana Jones, navigating through levels taken directly from the film. The game begins in the year 1938, with Jones receiving a package from Venice, Italy, which turns out to be his father's Grail diary. At the same time, he receives a telegram from Marcus Brody telling him the Cross of Coronado is on a ship off the coast of Portugal. The player is then presented with the choice of recovering the Cross of Coronado or going to Venice, Italy.
If the player goes to recover the Cross, Jones must board a ship and must defeat a certain number of Panama Hat's henchmen before fighting the boss himself. The player can also head to Venice where he is presented with a sliding puzzle challenge which must be completed before a fire engulfs the room he is in. By solving the puzzle in time, the player receives a sketch showing the true holy grail. Jones then receives a telegraph from Sallah telling him that Henry Jones, Sr. was taken captive by the Nazis and is being held at Castle Brunwald, and that Marcus Brody has gone missing. After finishing the next mission, Jones receives another telegraph telling him the location of the Holy Grail.
Saving Marcus takes place on top of a German tank in Iskenderun, where the player has to kill Nazis before the tank plunges over a cliff. At Castle Brunwald, the player must navigate a dense maze to find Henry Jones Sr.
In several missions, if the player fails, it causes the Nazis to steal Henry's diary, and Jones must travel to Berlin to recover it via a motorcycle riding sequence.
In the final level of the game, Jones finds himself at the Lost Temple. He must carefully navigate the floor to spell out the word "Jehovah"; stepping on the wrong tile will fail the puzzle, and if the player takes too long, the torch goes out. Afterwards, the player will reach the final sanctum containing the Knight and several grails. If the player has the sketch from Venice, it will aid in identifying the correct Grail. Choosing the correct Grail will show the ending.
The game presents bitmapped pictures of the actors from the movie of the same name, including Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, and Alison Doody.
