MachineGames\u2019 long-awaited tie-in looks set to deliver the most authentic Indy adventure yet. And with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg on board, hold on to your hats for an unforgettable ride<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the spring of 1977, and George Lucas is petrified. Having just wrapped work on his third feature film, Star Wars, he retreats to Hawaii, unable to face the early reviews. Yet as he frets in a five-star resort, Lucas bumps into another Hollywood hideaway \u2013 Steven Spielberg. Making sandcastles together under the Maui sun, Lucas pitches Spielberg a story that riffs on the simpler era of 1950s\u2019 serials, an action-packed spectacular about a James Bond-esque archaeologist. This crypt-robbing Casanova\u2019s name? Indiana \u2026 Smith.<\/p>\n

The hero\u2019s moniker certainly benefited from some finessing, and the action-packed Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) raked in $354m at the box office. Yet as great as Indy\u2019s influence was on cinema, it might have had an even bigger one on video games. It inspired Lara Croft\u2019s tomb-raiding antics and Uncharted\u2019s wise-cracking Nathan Drake. There have also been games starring Indy himself, most notably LucasArts\u2019 brilliant graphic adventures from the early-90s, but it\u2019s been decades since the last interactive Indiana Jones adventure that wasn\u2019t made of Lego<\/a>. This December, he\u2019ll finally get another crack of the gaming whip with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, from the studio behind Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus \u2013 in a game that actually looks like the films.<\/p>\n
