Trivia:

There are references to every Indiana Jones film in the game (except for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), which was made after this game): - In the Algerian dig site, there is a depiction of the Ark of the Convenant from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) on one of the walls (Indy aptly remarks that he has seen that before). The giant stone boulder that features in the labyrinth on Crete is another reference to this movie. - On the shelf in Indy's office at Barnett College, their is a Thugee idol. The Thugees were Indy's adversaries in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). - In one of the Atlantean chambers, there is a stone cup to which Indy remarks that it is definitely not the cup of a carpenter, a reference to the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). The "X marks the spot" on Crete is another nod to this movie.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Indy asks Sophia if she "found Nur-Ab-Sal" after she falls in the hole at the dig site, she says "you're dead meat!" twice to Indy. However, the screen text implies that she says something a little nastier instead of "dead meat", both times.

Quotes:

Arnold: [a Nazi spots Indy in the Crete labyrinth] You there, Amerikanner! Kommen zie! I won't hurt you.
[Indy walks over]
Arnold: Know any good drinking tunes?
Indiana Jones: Maybe, let me think...”Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime"?
Arnold: No, that's too depressing. Now I'll have to amuse myself by tearing your head off!
Indiana Jones: Try singing "So Long, It's Been Good To Know You"
[runs away]

This one had me hooked for months

If there is one game that had me fascinated from beginning to the end, if there is one game that had me in dispair for finding the solution, if there is one game that reminds me of part of my life, this must be it. The storyline, the settings, the characters, the action set-pieces and the enigmas made me sometimes jump in my chair, and crave for a motion picture adapted from the game. The storyline is one of the most fascinating in years, and feels like it's the best movie never put on film. If you never played this one, you should, even now, it's one of the reasons why sometimes it feels good to have a functional 386 computer with only a diskette drive and a pc speaker with that unique kind of music. Any spectrum cult-follower knows what I mean. Mythical game, and the most addictive thing to ever grace the VGA screens ever.
