Because corporates being corporates...they want easy money without doing "the work." Also...Indy's use of the whip is TERRIBLE in this game. No wonder the Belmonts disowned him.
@@NintendoComplete Rayman Legends is the only one I've played and I found it way too cloying and eager to please, much like Mario Wonder turned out. Ubis run in the PS2 era was pretty strong, though.
@bigduke5902 Yeah, I'd agree there. I really got into Assassin's Creed 1-4. I think that my view of them overall was tainted by things like this, though, no matter how much they changed over the years. I had a hard time seeing THQ and Mindscape as more than purveyors of crap for the same reason.
16:56: This game was made by a team of only six people: programmer Mark Crane, graphic artist “The Chin,” composer/sound designer Mark T.W. Cooksey, tester/game designer Alex Rutter, producer Richard Chappells and coordinator Fred Markus. BTW, who the hell is “The Chin” anyway?

Easily my biggest issue with this game is the fact that YOUR health can be drained within seconds, while EVEN THE REGULAR ENEMIES, CAN TAKE SEVERAL HITS JUST TO PUT THEM DOWN. I'll give the Taito version some credit, at least you can do a running kick to knock out some of the enemies easily. And at least that one had decent music and TRIED to be a decent Indiana Jones game, even if it didn't always succeed. I can't even beat the first level of this game! The only good thing to come out of this game is the AVGN's rant about it in his Indiana Jones Games review.
It was so funny when The Nerd did this game for his Indy spree back then, because this game being so damn similar to the US Gold Genesis game made him echo like half the criticisms UrinatingTree made on his two reviews of said Genesis game. No young Indy for the first scenes, bosses taking so many hits, the sprites are identical right down to Rosie O'Donnell laughing belly fire dude. "*NAZIS PROGRAMMED THIS PIECE OF SHIT.*" Wait no that was just Tree.
_Yeah..._ This version isn't nearly as good as Taito's. It's also one of the ugliest NES games I've ever seen. This came out in '93, the same year as "Kirby's Adventure" (a gorgeous looking game, BTW). There is simply no excuse for this.

This game and Ghostbusters are masters at driving you insane by playing the main theme as the only song over and over.
Mom : Honey, We have Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at home!
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at home :
I was a NES guy growing up, but i have to say the Master System version of this game is a thousand times better.
Ew, Ubisoft. Why are you like this?

@@ejsvirtualgarageIt's easy to say that now, but Ubisoft, like EA, didn't start the way they are now.
@@bigduke5902I never liked them much in the 90s either. I always thought Rayman was ridiculously overrated.

When the AVGN talked about this game, his review was noticeably different on the DVD version.
Playing this in 1993 like “oh man we’re never getting another Indy movie are we?”

I think this game was ported from the ZX Spectrum to the NES.
This is like that southPark episode where Indiana gets...."physically handled" by George Lucas and Spielberg

Unlike the Taito version, the music and sounds for this version were done by Mark T.W. Cooksey.

Awesome and splendid gameplay! 👍😊🤩
Stop posting these cookie cutter comments already
This is some NES-era THQ shit right here. How did Nintendo even allow something like this to get released?
You need to play Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures on the SNES to wash off the taste of this thing.
Surprised Ubisoft published this & NOT Mindscape or LJN.
very good 😀
Early Ubisoft had hits and some misses. This was without a doubt, a real big miss by them working with NMS Technologies.
One of those very not-good late era NES titles.

This almost looks like it was played with the Super Gameboy. (Hint hint on doing a comparison!)
music is pumping at least! ❤
NMS? More like NMS OF THE STATE!
Nothing More than Shit
Wow.
Just when I thought I’d seen the lowest low-effort mess, something else appears to take the crown.
My fish this is awful.
If you think this is bad, just wait. I've got the Sega Genesis version coming up this week, and it's so much worse.
@ Ok now I’m intrigued.
When the hell are gonna play, hate, and give up on La Mulana?
Oh, I didn't know that the new Indiana Jones game got ported to the Switch so quickly!
I'd still rather play this than the Genesis version, which isn't saying much.
Way better than the new one XD
Very ambitious

Level bosses that just stood there and didn't move? Terrible!
I thought this was the game boy version! 😅❤
Well, it is pretty much!
If people can finish nes games doesn it mean AVGN just sucks at playing them?
Sort of... Mike Matei usually do much of the work.
Yep they should've sent this to the Marx brothers.
Cheaply made garbage
