Hybrid?! Is this a joke?! Sure, but still a good damn reason to mention once again this great game. Grin

Ain’t it funny, if someone asked you what Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is all about, and you say: you need to fist-fight your way through, you also need to ride a balloon in an action sequence, involve yourself in a car chase, steer a submarine, overcome some timed-puzzles and be careful because you can die in the game… you would still be describing one of the best classic adventure games ever made. Smile

I have never really thought of this as a hybrid action / adventure game - But now that you mention it, then I guess that you are right.

It doesn’t detract from the game however, and personally I have never had a problem with a bit of action in AG, at least not as long as it is well executed (and is NOT mind boggling stupid QTE)

I’ve never played this but your description makes it sound like a really, really good game. I think I’ll add it to my list!

Ah, the game that made me fall in love with the genre. Heart

Still one of the best games ever made.

And the action is mostly optional or can be circumvented, with relatively few exceptions (even on the “action” path). Cool

I loved this game but had a hard time getting the submarine in the port.  The first time I played it, I had my hubby do it for me and every time after that, I was unable to do it.  Is there a way to not do that part?  I have it on my computer now and would like to play it again, but, dread that submarine sequence.

Controlling the submarine only happens on the Team path. Just try one of the other two paths for a change! (You’ll get to visit Thera, which is skipped on the Team path.)

(Also, I’m sure if you post a save on the forums, someone will be willing to do it for you. It only takes a minute.)

I loved this game. Obviously, like everybody else. Honestly how could you not love it? It is impossible. One of the best classic games of all time.

Really?

It is a stunning classic. You should definitely play it.

Little action for me, I tried to take the puzzle route when I could. Salaam effendi. (He says that in the gaaaame.)
