One of the best games movie to game translations of all time, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, released in 1990, follows the plotline (well, 99% of it) of the movie, while having some difficult puzzles that will keep you playing this game over and over again.
The game starts, introducing the player as Dr. Indiana Jones, professor of archaeology arriving back at his College. He is world renowned, and his exploits bring in students from close and afar. After (finally) entering your office, you find out that your Father has sent you his famed Holy Grail diary.

The game starts, introducing the player as Dr. Indiana Jones, professor of archaeology arriving back at his College. He is world renowned, and his exploits bring in students from close and afar. After (finally) entering your office, you find out that your Father has sent you his famed Holy Grail diary. This diary contains every possible clue to the Grails location, although Dr. Henry Jones (Indy's father) has been unsuccessful in every attempt to find
it. You begin to search for your father, only to find out that his house has been ransacked, and later learn that he picked up his quest for the Grail once again, but has since disappeared. You travel to Paris (the last place he was seen) and in the later part of the game find yourself in Germany, and the Middle East as well. You find yourself exploring catacombs, Nazi Castles, just to name a few.
Graphics are on par for the area, backgrounds as well contain large amounts of detail, some more than others, most prevalent being the University, Library, Airport and Farmer's area.
The music in the game is what you should expect from a 1990 title, mostly filled with Adlib bleeps, although the Raider's March at the beginning of the game is by far the best music. The sound effects are average, nothing spectacular, but they do the job.
This point-and-click adventure has some of the best script writing ever in a video game. You can stay with the plot (which many will do), but you can give those ridiculous answers that will make you and anyone else whose playing the game with you just burst out and laugh.
Overall, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a definite download for any Indy fan, point-and-click adventure fan, or anyone who enjoys games of this era. If you enjoyed this game, you will enjoy the sequel, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, which came out a few years later that refined all the points that made the Last Crusade such a great game.
