Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix: An Interesting Cancelled Adventure Game

[CM30]

It was apparently meant to be a sequel to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and have Indy trying to find the pieces of the Philosopher's Stone before the Nazis could use it to revive Hitler (post World War 2).

And there's a really fascinating article about it here:

Yeah, it's a bit long (9 pages including sources), but it really goes into a lot of detail on what could have been. Heck, there's even a copy of what's basically the full story!

Either way, it looks like it could have been really interesting. Unfortunately, it seemingly got killed because of German laws on depictions of Nazis in games and the difficulty the company would face in selling it to the European market.

So what do you think? Could this game have been really good if it'd ever been finished?

Dang! Years later and we could've had an awesome Indiana Jones game to fit the canon between what happened to him after the third film but before the fourth in the series.

(They still had the balls to kill off his dad. Even though the actor who played him was still alive at that time.)
