Last year, Bethesda and MachineGames delivered a stellar new addition to the world of Indiana Jones with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the first console game for the franchise since Lego Indiana Jones 2 in 2009. Some players may remember, however, that prior to the Lego games, there had been a handful of desktop Indiana Jones point-and-click graphic adventure games, one of which was made in a mad dash 9-month period.
Ron Gilbert, creator of the long-running adventure game series Monkey Island, spoke to Retro Gamer magazine about how he and his team were suddenly tasked with producing an Indiana Jones game. "The Indiana Jones rights had been given to someone else, and they weren't performing," he explained. "They weren't actually making the game."
