Playing through the opening of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is like realizing a childhood dream. Among the humid greenery of a familiar jungle backdrop, the unmistakable likeness of actor Alfred Molina welcomes me into a scene I've seen many times before. Accompanied by a telltale objective sitting on the left-hand side of the screen, a sudden realization hits me, and I'm practically beside myself. I keep chanting "no way… no way" with every step I take, because I know exactly what's coming next.
I'm about to re-live one of the most iconic movie sequences that I've long since committed to memory thanks to countless re-watches, only this time, I'm going to actually be in every scene and experience it first-hand as Indiana Jones himself. As a longtime fan, the introduction to MachineGames adventure is like the ultimate fantasy fulfilment, and I couldn't ask for a better way to be drawn into the role of the famous fedora-wearing archaeologist who made such a big impression on me in my younger years.
