Play Instruments of Chaos Starring Young Indiana Jones (Beta) Online

Okay, so Instruments of Chaos is that weird little Indy game where you play as a kid version of him—like, before the hat and whip were standard issue. It’s got that classic Genesis vibe: chunky sprites, stiff jumps, and way more enemies than you’d expect for a teenager’s globe-trotting adventure.

You’re basically hopping between platforms, dodging traps, and punching out bad guys (because apparently young Indy threw hands a lot). The levels are all over the place—jungles, deserts, the usual—but the controls take some getting used to. Took me a few tries to nail the timing on those rope swings.

Fun fact: The beta version’s even jankier than the final release, so expect some rough edges. Still, there’s something charming about watching Indy-in-training faceplant into a pit for the fifth time.
