Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures is a platformer released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo, developed by Factor 5 and published by JVC. It blends platformer and adventure elements.

It landed about 4 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1995 include Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

It is part of the Indiana Jones series. The series also appears on other systems with Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (N64) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (NES). Factor 5 also made Super Turrican for the SNES.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
