Why Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures Belongs on GOG
Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures is a charming, underrated classic from 1996. Unlike traditional Indy games, this one offered a unique, top-down action-adventure experience with randomly generated maps and quests, making every playthrough feel fresh. It captured the adventurous spirit of Indiana Jones in a compact, accessible format perfect for casual gaming.
Though it may seem simple by today’s standards, it’s a piece of gaming history—one of the early experiments with procedural generation and accessible gameplay. Sadly, it’s been lost to time, with no digital re-release available.
GOG is the perfect platform to bring this game back. Its focus on preserving retro PC titles, delivering them DRM-free and optimized for modern systems, makes it the ideal home for Indy’s forgotten desktop journey. Bringing this game to GOG would help preserve a nostalgic gem and introduce new fans to a lighter, fun side of Indiana Jones.
