- SPECIAL PREVIEW will let you play and replay a single game (out of billions of
- possibilities) to find out what desktop adventuring is all about. Depending on the
- level of difficulty you choose, you can probably finish the whole thing in thirty
- minutes or less!
-
- Click the Install button and an icon will be added to your desktop from which you can
- run the demo.
-
- It's the mid-1930's, and Indiana Jones, Ph.D., excited by the fantastic finds emerging
- from the deserts and jungles of Middle America, travels south of the border to make
- his mark on archaeology. The stated purpose of his expedition is to survey a temple
- complex known as Site R, but no sooner have Indy and his colleague, Marcus Brody,
- set up headquarters in the little town of Lucasio than they realise more important
- issues are at stake. Everywhere they turn, thieves and scavengers, many calling
- themselves scientists, are ransacking historical sites and selling off their priceless
- treasures to the highest bidder...
-
- Soon Indy is embroiled in a dangerous contest, rushing to find a series of dazzling
- artefacts and get them into safe hands before his unscrupulous rivals, led by the shady
- collector Dr. Victor Van Loon and a crackpot Nazi general, Anton Schlossberg, can
- steal them.
-
- As the player, you are Indiana Jones. At the start of each game, you should consult
- with Marcus on the latest emergency. He'll supply the first item you need to get
- going. From there it's up to you to explore, trade, and fight your way through
- dangerous terrain to resolve the crisis at hand.
-
- In your adventures you will encounter fierce warriors and deadly banditos, poisonous
- spiders and vicious jaguars...and maybe even a snake or two. And before you're done,
- you will confront the uncanny forces of the Ancient Gods, including the mighty
- feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl. (Why'd it have to be a snake?)
-
- This game is a point and click adventure, talk to the chap sitting in the centre of the
- village for playing tips. There's a complete on-line help file available after installation.
-
- If you have any problems installing the game then run the FIXIT.EXE file in the
- GAMES\INDYPREV directory of our disc. Then try installing again.
