Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (1999, PC) Review

- Back in 1999, in a time where point-and-click adventure games have already died out its flame, Lucas Arts released the first 3D action adventure game based in Indy's adventures. In my honest opinion, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is a huge overlooked gem.

Emperor's Tomb has more modern gameplay but Infernal Machine still has the best story, level design and exploration. I will remember exploring open levels like Meroe or King Sol Mines forever.
I absolutely love Infernal Machine! What a game! :)
I wish we could get remasters / remakes of both games with modern controls and updated graphics. That would be great.
This is my favourite game. I've played hundreds of games, but this has a special place in my heart. I was an indoors kid and this game helped me travel to distant exotic places from my room.
I played this game today. More than 22 frikkin years later. Today it was a breeze to play through. But back then as a little kid, I was only allowed 2 hours per weekend on the PC. Which is probably why I remember playing this for a long long time. The puzzles were also a bit complex for my little brain. But now everything seems easier. I don't know if it's because I already have a vague memory of what needs to be done.
My favourite levels are Tian Shan river, Shambhala sanctuary, Palawan Lagoon, VI Pudovkin, Meröe and Peru. I'm not a fan of the other levels.
I searched for texture packs and mods to give it a more realistic feel playing almost 22 years later. I expected to find some "remastered" versions or HD textures. But I couldn't find any.
There's a GitHub repo for modding tools, but no one has submitted any work.
I read somewhere that Paramount forbade any modding, and it was strictly enforced back in the day.
Sigh 😔
I literally had tears in my eyes after playing this game. I don't know if it was nostalgia or fear of becoming older or the lack of anyone to share my excitement.
Thanks for your video.
Thank You for sharing your memories and feelings! Truly appreciate it! :)
Take care!
Excellent review! Infernal Machine was how I was introduced to Indiana Jones. The game was so influential to me that my Indy outfit is based off the game and I have collected several of the weapons featured in this fantastic game!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the game, Joshua! :) Truly appreciate it!
Have a great weekend!
Loved that game. Was really looking forward to the N64 version, so I didn't have to try and run it on my dad's under-powered PC (and I was away at university and still using my Amiga 1200 as my computer - so I could only play the PC during holidays. But we never got it in PAL-territories. :(
Still, I can get an Overdrive and run the complete PAL ROM on my N64 these days!
Yeah, it was really sad that it didn't saw a PAL release.
Still, I love it to this day! :)
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your memories!
Have a great week!
You can buy gog version, it can run on modern pc
My favorite level in the entire game is the V.I. Pudovkin mission.
Very underrated game! Hal Barwood makes great storylines.
Indeed!
You didn't mention that Indy could be transformed into Guybrush Threepwood in the PC version. Either by using a code, or by entering a special location in the Aetherium level.

@@admsoo Guybrush Threepwood: "I'm Guybrush Threepwood mighty pirate". Then a few years later. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, I'm going to be the pirate king." in the 'One Piece' manga, anime with over 1000 episodes, and the new live action Netflix series. Now if only Luffy and Guybrush would cross swords in 'insult sword fighting', that would be the day worth remembering.
One of the best games I ever played! Yust behind Deus ex! :)
rokyrr10521 Awesome game! I'm still addicted to it!
Thansk for the comment! :)
This game are amazing, and finally the game come to steam on 2018
I absolutely love it! :) One on my favorites of all time on the PC!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Probably my 3rd favourite Indy game behind Fate of Atlantis and Emperors Tomb
Also it had best cheat where you can turn Indy into Guybrush Threepwood which was makemeapirate
Seriously? Wow! Never knew about that! :) Sounds awesome!
Thanks for watching and for leaving your much appreciated comment!
Cheers!
@@itsaPIXELthing also if you have Indy as Guybrush and you use the rocket launcher it fires chickens and some music plays.
In the final level you can find an area that looks like the Barbery Coast shop from Curse of Monkey Island
@@Calculon1712 Eh eh eh! Awesome! Thanks for sharing! :)
I remember playing this one on the PCs back in the day.
As you say the controls and camera etc are very "clunky" by today's standards but this was back when 3rd person games were very much finding their feet. Play the original ps1 Tomb Raider today and you'll find it just as awkward.
However, the chance to be Indiana was enough to make me persevere!
Brian Pritchard Yeah, Tomb Raider games were also kind of awkward to control and, from time to time, with some nasty camera movement ;)
Thanks for your comments! :)
I still play this game every year. :D. It's such a fun ride from beginning to end. While the game shows it's age nowadays, I don't care at all. Like it said, fun game!
I love this game! To this day! :) I love everything related to Indiana Jones ;)
Thanks for watching and for leaving your much appreciated feedback!
Cheers!
Yes. 😉
Never finished it but began again a few months ago. And love it.
Personally I want kind of a remake of this game
That would be awesome! :)
Can u tell me excactly where is Blue Gem in Simballa Monastery ( Chapter 4 ) . i am looking the sinjin guide .
Here's a walkthrough that might help you: th-cam.com/video/FEAVGlDruTg/w-d-xo.html
The last Indiana Jones game I've played was The Fate of Atlantis, on my sound card-less 386 :-)
Before that, I'd played The Last Crusade (PC) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (Atari 2600).
P.S.: I just subscribed to your channel after having heard about you on a shout out by Steve Benway.
Thank you very much! Steve is a great guy! :)
Thanks for the support! ;)
The Nintendo 64 and the pc versions have very slight differences. In the n64 version you can find a cave system behind the waterfall on the first level, the animations are "simplified" plus i think a few items are unavailable. I think I played through the stages 1/4 the way through at a time using the all levels cheat and only beat the game a few years ago.
Thanks for clarifying that, Brian! Appreciate it!
This game was pimp back in the day. The spiders were quite frightening for me.
I found this today but unfortunately only the jewel case and the disks. But not bad considering I only payed 10 pence :)
+Big Will Lucky you!! Awesome price for an awesome game!! :)
Thanks for sharing! ;)
I much prefer this game over tomb raider it has bags of atmosphere and brilliant gameplay, I still play it now...
Just like me 😀 such a great story and atmosphere, like you said! Feel free to watch my other Indy related videos! Cheers!
When i was a kid i played this game with some cheats, one day i was on the 2nd level and i was stuck... so i pressed al the F buttons (F1, F2, F3, etc) and suddenly the game freaked out, the textures mixed up with others, the audio was wrong, it was hilarious, for example, Indy's back had like His face, with sophias' face and some nazi's face, when i oppened a door it sounded "An idol, an idol, an idol, an idol, an idol" the best experience that i had up to this day
Seriously? WoW! :) That must have been so hilarious! :)
Thanks for sharing! And for watching! :) Appreciate it!
I want this game, but not sure whether to get pc or n64 version. I hear pc has much worse controls
Never played it on a real N64, only using an emulator, 'cause, as you know, it was never released here in Europe.
The controls on the PC version were a bit enfuriating at times, but, back then, I got used to them 'cause the story was/is really good! :) And I love Indiana Jones related stuff ;)
Thanks for watching and for your comment! Appreciate it!
Just finished it. I emulated the N64 version, cause I couldn't get neither the GOG nor Steam versions to run properly. Honestly, this game holds up far better than Tomb Raider, which I quitted after the third level. Other than the last part feeling like a fever dream, my only gripes are that there were a couple of unfair puzzles and that the experience ends up feeling a bit lonely after a while (In the movies, Indy would have memorable companions along during the adventure. Here that isn't the case outside of Sophia appearing in some cutscenes, and it gets a bit boring). I personally prefer Fate of Atlantis and Emperor's Tomb more, but for a first 3D entry, this one was very good. I can totally see why it´s a fan favorite.
I share the same opinion! :) Thank you so much for leaving your comment!
I wouldn't say Infernal Machine takes place RIGHT before the events of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Crystal Skull takes place in 1957. Infernal Machine takes places ten years early in 1947. But yeah, its now the Cold War where the villains are the Soviets - so sure. Indy slowed down a bit when he approached middle age.
The major stumbling block for most people wasn't just the Tomb Raider gameplay (which is ironic) but the fact they didn't get Harrison Ford to reprise his role for the game.
Yeah
Este eu joguei amigo no pc adorei como dusses te peca é controlar a personagem do jogo grande abraço..:)
Yep! Mas é um grande jogo com uma história fabulosa! :)
Abraço!
One of my most favorite games. It's A treasure. Prefer the N64 version
cooleo1c Yeah, the N64 version is also really awesome, and with music by Chris Huelsbeck, my favorite video game music composer ever! :) Unfortunately I only had the chance to try this one via emulation..
Thanks for your comments!
it;s 2020 and i am gnu linux user ..and now i found a way to play it again .,,
the N64 version is inferior to the PC version, the N64 version copies the Ocerina of Time button layout, the PC version was amazing, yet there was no reason for the N64 version in 2000, considering the same year we got Majora's Mask
Thanks for stopping by and for leaving your thoughts :)
Myself, I think this is my third favourite game definately. I really disliked how clunky and confusing Emperor's Tomb was, but this has much cooler of a story and cooler looking levels. I really hate when people complain about this being a Tomb Raider ripoff. But nice video though!
Yeah, back then it was seen as a Tomb Raider rip-off, but, even today, I prefer this one a lot more! ;) And you're absolutely right about Emperor's Tomb!
Thanks for watching! Have a nice weekend!
Thus game was okay. Emperor's Tomb was better in my opinion.
Yeah! Emperor's Tomb is awesome! :)
I'll be reviewing it in the near future!
Thanks!
The emperor's tomb was good for gameplay, but the story was all over the place, as far as story goes, the infernal machine was better.
