Three (and a half) Indiana Jones games. The 2600 game and two of the NES titles... mediocre, annoying NES platformers... blah, yeah, not exactly good games. Good video, but people who like the ones which are more outlandish might not like this one as much. Instead of randomly attacking Bugs Bunny, he does awesome stuff like drawing a map of the level, to try to understand how in the world they came up with such horrible collision detection... and failing. Awesome stuff. :) Trying to understand how that 2600 game would be playable without a guide is something too... though lots of older games did that stuff. The 2600 game is actually remembered as being really good for its time, it seems... and the ANN certainly doesn't attack it like he does the two NES games. He just explains how confusing and unintuitive it is. :)
He does praise the SNES game at the end, too. I hadn't known/remembered that Factor 5 did a SNES Indy platformer using the Super Star Wars engine...
(Though Fate of Atlantis is of course the best Indiana Jones game ever, as anyone who has ever played the game knows)
