A cute little Indiana Jones adventure game for Windows 3.1. Set in mid-1930s Middle America, Indy is exploring a temple complex known as Site R when Nazis show up to steal the precious artifacts for some nefarious purpose. Indy can move around in real time, exploring from one connected map screen to the next, and collecting items to help him solve puzzles. He can use weapons to fight people and vicious animals, and he can push or pull objects to reveal hidden items or get across barriers. The game is designed to be beaten in 30 to 60 minutes and is different every time. The one constant is that Marcus Brody explains your mission at the beginning of each game and gives you the first item you need to get started. Replay value is high, and the combat difficulty can be adjusted to make the game fun for children and experienced gamers alike. The preview demo isn't limited in any way, except that the game can only be played one way, out of billions of possibilities.

Based on the legendary SCUMM engine, Fate of Atlantis is a point-and-click adventure. Set in 1939, you play the roles of Indiana Jones and Sophia Hapgood as they try to prevent the Nazis from using a powerful metal from the lost city of Atlantis to take over the world. The game features some of the most beautiful graphics to ever appear in a DOS game and a memorable musical score. Part way through the game, you can choose between three paths to take, each of which will take you to different locations and cause a different storyline to play out: the Wits Path (hard puzzles), Fists Path (easier puzzles, more fighting), and the Team Path (requires Sophia Hapgood to solve many puzzles). The shareware version contains the final stage of the Fists Path up to the point where the paths converge at Atlantis. Downloads

Based on the legendary SCUMM engine, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a graphic adventure based on the movie. Set in 1938, Indy has just returned from recovering the Cross of Coranado when he learns that his father has disappeared while searching for the Holy Grail. Indy must collect and figure out how to use objects throughout the game, but he can also solve some problems by fighting. You can practice boxing at the Barnett College gym at the beginning of the game. The player earns IQ (Indy Quotient) points for solving problems and progressing through the game, and many problems can be solved in more than one way. The player's score is retained when a new game is started, so every path and solution must be used to get a perfect score, giving the game replay value. Only the first stage is playable in the shareware version. Downloads

Loom is the fourth point-and-click adventure to be built with the SCUMM engine. While still featuring the beautiful graphics that LucasArts' adventure games were known for, Loom differs in that it has a mostly serious storyline and uses a unique interface. The game features a fantasy storyline that takes place in the distant future, when powerful guilds formed communities devoted to their specific craft. The hero, Bobbin Threadbare, lives on the island of Loom, home of the Guild of Weavers. Using a distaff, he can weave four-note tunes called drafts to cast spells. Most drafts can be played backwards to create the opposite effect, such as playing the Opening draft backwards to close something. Originally Bobbin can only play the first three notes on the distaff, but as he becomes more powerful he can use five higher notes. As the mysterious "Loom-child", Bobbin must discover his destiny. Only seven screens are playable in the shareware demo. Downloads

The Secret of Monkey Island is a point-and-click adventure. Guybrush Threepwood always wanted to be a pirate, but didn't know how to get started. This humorous point-and-click adventure is the first in the Monkey Island series of games. Guybrush can talk to people and use objects to solve puzzles and advance through the game. A shareware demo was released as part of The Secret of Monkey Island Caribbean Summer Contest in Game Player's Guide, and your goal is to complete the demo and answer questions so that you can enter the contest. There are only five screens in the contest demo. A slightly different demo appeared in the Passport to Adventure three game sampler, which removed a cinematic sequence at the beginning and all references to the contest, but added a sixth screen and four extra unlockable doors, as well as people walking around in the city.
AvailabilityLucasArts still sells The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, a Windows version with re-imagined graphics, remastered music, and voice over. The game still contains a "Classic Mode" so that you can switch back to the original graphics at any time. The original game can be ordered from Amazon: The Secret of Monkey Island or The Secret of Monkey Island: Enhanced CD-ROM Edition with Digital Music, or as part of LucasArts Classic Adventures.

In this first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe, you play Commander Kyle Katarn during Operation Skyhook. Mon Mothma has ordered you to a secret Imperial base on Danuta to steal the plans for the Death Star, which were ultimately delivered to Princess Leia Organa before her capture in Star Wars: A New Hope. Levels are fully three-dimensional, and Kyle can jump and duck. The game is full of familiar enemies, voices and sound effects, and includes some of the score from the Star Wars movies. A transparent map can be superimposed onto the screen to help you navigate. The demo is impressive, but short. LucasArts created separate archives for the opening and closing cutscenes, which are optional. Only one level is playable in the shareware demo.
