We say: A franchise game of a completely different nature, Fate of Atlantis takes Indy on one of his usual quests to find treasure and get the girl and beat up Nazis. This game was important because the CD-ROM version was one of LucasArts' first "talkies," and the voice acting was actually pretty decent. In addition, Fate of Atlantis also gave players a choice of story branches depending on what they were in the mood for (puzzles, action, etc.), which was pretty innovative. Special bonus note: it's one of the very few LucasArts graphic adventures in which you can die. Be brave. As Fate of Atlantis begins, Indy is searching Barnett College's dusty storage rooms for a strange statue, requested by a visiting "Mr. Smith." When Indiana recovers it, Smith pulls a gun, steals the statue, and escapes. Dr. Jones discovers that the mysterious visitor is actually the Nazi colonel Klaus Kerner, and that his next target is Sophia Hapgood, an old flame of Indy's who left archaeology to become a psychic. Sophia tells Jones that the Nazis, led by Kerner and Dr. Hans Ubermann, are seeking the power of Atlantis in hopes of finding secret weapons to win the coming war. The statue Indiana lost is just one of the many Atlantean artifacts scattered throughout the globe. However, the key to locating the Lost City rests in an ancient book, the Lost Dialogue of Plato, long believed to exist only in legend. But finding the manuscript is only the beginning for Indy and Sophia. Racing the Nazis every step of the way, our heroes follow clues left behind at outposts of the Lost City, found in such diverse places as the Central American jungle, the Sahara Desert, and the fabled Labyrinth of Crete. Eventually they'll journey right into the heart of Atlantis itself, where a terrifying secret lost for generations will be uncovered once more. The game was successful enough that LucasArts began production on a sequel, Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix, but that was unfortunately canceled. Gamers instead had to wait until 1999 for a proper follow-up, the action-adventure game Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, made by Hal Barwood, Atlantis' project leader.
