Anyway, Raiders was really quite revolutionary at the time as games back then were just about getting a high score. Some even say it was the very first movie tie-in game too… though I have doubts over that claim (read my new gaming book for more details). Raiders of the Lost Ark (1982)Īs previously mentioned, Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600 was the first-ever Indiana Jones video game. An advanced thanks to any YouTubers I link to.Īnd with that out of the way, here is my Indiana Jones games retrospective. Just give the main titles a clicky-click. I’ll post links to YouTube playthroughs of the games, if I can find them, so you can see as many of the games in action as possible. This is gonna be a big ‘un, so I’m just glossing over the games and not going into too much depth. Looking at my list and notes… There’s a lot more than I originally thought. No fan-made games, officially licenced Indy games only. The games don’t have to have been based on the movies, they just have to star adult Henry Walton Jones Jr. Official Indy games only, no Facebook or mobile tappy-tap games, no Young Indiana Jones titles either (though there will be a quick mention of these at the end). I’m setting myself a handful of rules though. For the first part of my (huge) Raiders at 40 celebrations, I’m going to take a look at every Indy (that’s Indy, not indie) game released. The year following the release of Raiders, and the first Indiana Jones game was unleashed. Through June, I’ll be publishing a different Indiana Jones article exploring various aspects of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones in general.
This month marks forty years since Raiders of the Lost Ark was originally released in cinemas and so, I’m doing a huge, multi-article celebration to mark this anniversary. On the 12th of June 1981, the world was introduced to Indiana Jones.
