Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures

The same friend that told me to try and beat Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back told me to hop on this one straight after, and really I wished he'd told me about this one first.

Indiana Jones: Greatest Adventures is a platformer for the Super Nintendo, but unlike the Super Star Wars games, where the three movies were split into separate titles, Indiana Jones just has 3 movies worth of games on one cart.

The game itself is sort of boring, but I'll tell you right now that it's a damn sight better than Super Star Wars despite being made by the same people.  The controls are a lot tighter, and it's easier to see whats hitting you, so you don't get the same level of bullshit rando-deaths that you did with ESB.  On the flip side, the game is WAYYYY too easy and all the bosses are, for lack of a better word, crap.

Still, if you like Indiana Jones and you don't want to rip your hair out I'd say its worth emulating or hunting down in a used book store whatever.  In terms of movie games you could do way worse than this.  Unlike a lot of movie franchises, Indy got some love and playing out some of the scenes from the movie was pretty fun.

There isn't really much else to say really, the game is just so "standard" and nothing really sticks out.  Not shit enough to get riled about and not good enough to get excited.
