If you like old Tomb Raider style gameplay with Indiana Jones play this awesome game.(Used to play the disc 1 a lot since the second disc that I had back in the day was broken :) )

Edit: Heres a gameplay video I found on the internet for the second level of the game.

So... the original Uncharted?

why don't you post a clip of gameplay since you're suggesting the title, that's usually how it goes or does the actual game play like complete dog sh!t?

Either it's this or that Emperor's Tomb game.(Which had a great hand 2 hand combat)

added the gameplay video. Thought saying Old Tomb Raider style is enough.

Thanks but no thanks. I like the Indiana Jones movies but I could never get into the games, (but the Lego version was fun however) and I started with original Tomb Raider as my personal Indiana Jones in the video games realm anyways.

Aside from shitty combat, it's a pretty great game,. with some well thought level design and puzzles.

Pretty much the definition of forgotten gem.

@uninspiredcup: I think the main problem was the release date. It released the time when the popularity of TR games were dying.It also didn't have a PS1 version(Which had main audience of this genre)

Another problem was this that They finished the Nintendo 64 version too late.(But imo it's quite a great achievement that Factor 5 managed to fit the game into a 64 MB catridge. Core design claimed that it was impossible to see Tomb Raider on Nintendo 64 but Factor 5 proved them wrong)

I was gonna say I thought this has been on GOG for quite some time, but that's Emperor's Tomb.

I remember this being a pretty underwhelming game at the time. It was widely regarded as a Tomb Raider rip-off with an Indiana Jones character model which the developers lamely justified by saying, "Indiana Jones was the original Tomb Raider. We're just steeling it back!" Not that Tomb Raider was a particularly good game in the first place.

The Indian Jones games pre-date Tomb Raider as well. The elements in this game, while influenced by Tomb Raider, are completely in line with the previous adventure games focus on puzzle solving. It's a natural evolution.

The level design themselves are generally constructed better than later Tomb Raider titles.

Yep. The N64 version has a slight graphics update (while downgrading textures) and adds a lock-on feature from Ocarina Of The Time. The game look better at lower res as it softens the image, these games weren't designed for HD and generally look worse with it's sharp right angles imo.

I've been playing abit over the weakend, on level 5 or 18 levels, and yea, they are pretty huge and intricate, without being overwhelming. Proper hand-crafted stuff that doesn't treat the player like a dumb dumb. Overall, a solid game that's aged great, more so than something like No One Lives Forever, which I also played recently, and was just plain bad.

Looks better than the new Tomb Raider.

Damn I remember playing that back in the day but I was shit at it.

How is Emperor's Tomb on GoG? I've been wanting to play it for a while but wasn't sure if it ran on Windows 10 ok.

Wasn't even aware this existed until it popped up on GOG.

Works fine on windows 10, both games had some work getting the control pad to work, but nothing too taxing.

What did you use to get the controller working? Can you just plug it in and map the controls in the game menu?

Infernal Machine has several auto-mappings including Xbox360. No mapping required here, pad some cheapo third party.

Can't remember ET, tbh.

Ah ok

Fun fact - Infernal Machines story was originally going to involve aliens but George Lucas wouldn't let them as he wanted to use that plot-line on a potential future project.

If you care about great stories in video games, recommend you to check this game out since it's story is better than tomb raider games.

yeah. And funny some stuff in the forth movie are inspired from this game.(Like one booby trap from that secret level return to Peru)

Personally, wouldn't say it's as good as Tomb Raider 2. I've noticed some glaring flaws replaying, particularly Palawan Lagoon where the game breaks it's own logic.

e.g. the boat causes you to die multiple times trying to pick up a key by drowning with no escape, only to learn the hammer that doesn't work on the other padlock, suddenly works on the underwater one.

And then when you open the underwater Tomb door, you are suppose to randomly guess to use the hammer to take the properer so you can wedge open the door, when you already have a machete.

And prior to that you come across cob-webs, when you have a lighter, that was used to burn things before, that suddenly, doesn't.

You can only use the propeller to open the door once, then without explanation it disappears from your inventory and you have to push buttons, making you waste more air time under water.

Donno if this was a B-team who designed this particular level, but it's not up to scratch with the prior (excellent) ones. Definitely didn't enjoy this one, swimming sections in general are ass.

I guess it couldn't hurt to try it out for only $6 bucks after all. If the game turns out to be fun, I'll let you know.

Well imo try to enjoy it, In that level when I was a kid I stuck because I didn't see that machete.(Took me a while to find it and prior to that I find that airplane that I couldn't take out it's wedge)

For underwater section I just used 9-10 of my Heath items for that.(Since I didn't knew about that other hatch)

Imo don't mind it that much play the game and enjoy it.(You will get to far worse levels in the last section of the game I personally didn't like the last 2 levels)

They are? Guess you got further as a kid. :)

I couldn't get past the first ice-monster boss because I was too dumb to figure out you had to do more than shoot it haha

@uninspiredcup: Well I also got a lot of hints from my cousin Since I was too young to found out everything myself I originally didn't knew that holding shift will make indy run, you can push/pull objects and I also feared to play the second level since it had human enemies.(Took me few years before I found the guts to play it.and my cousin also passed level 2 and 3 for me but I didn't get pass more than that for some years.)

I feared to play the forth level since I also feared from ice monsters.(Spiders were also pretty creepy)

After years when I finally played levels 2 & 3 And beating the forth level for the first time(Which was quite an achievement since it had a hard puzzle) I also got stuck in that part too since I also thought that I should shoot 200 bullets to kill that.

I finished this game last year when I finally managed to get an unbroken second disc.(Since I couldn't play it pass the level 7)

Really too much good memory I have with this game.

@dorog1995: There's something to be said about using your own wits. Nowadays the vast majority of games are so streamlined, so accommodating that you don't really get any highs or lows.
