Play Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (Australia) (Proto) Online

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1999, developed by LucasArts. It was one of the few 3D action-adventure titles on the system that tried to capture the feel of the films, arriving late in the console's life when expectations for 3D worlds were growing.

You control Indiana Jones through a mix of exploration, combat, and environmental puzzles. The main goal is to stop a Soviet plot by reassembling an ancient machine, which involves traveling to remote locations, gathering mechanical parts, and outsmarting enemies. Signature mechanics include using the whip to swing across gaps or trigger switches, solving multi-step puzzles involving pressure plates and keys, and engaging in straightforward combat with fists or firearms. The pacing is deliberate, often requiring careful observation, and the difficulty can spike due to awkward platforming or obscure puzzle logic. It feels like a rough but earnest attempt to translate cinematic adventure into interactive form.
