Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is a graphic adventure game published and developed by LucasArts for DOS-based PCs in 1992, based off of the Indiana Jones franchise.

A Sega Mega-CD port was announced, to be published by JVC Musical Industries and developed by LucasArts themselves, and was featured at the Summer CES 1993[8]. Despite receiving various amounts of media coverage, including a review on an issue of Sega Visions magazine,[9] which also featured various screenshots as well as a VRC rating, suggesting that development on the port was quite far, it ended up being cancelled. It is presumed that the reason to cancel its release was due to poor sales of the earlier Mega-CD port of The Secret of Monkey Island.

Fate of Atlantis would ultimately hit consoles in 2009 as an unlockable bonus on LucasArts' Wii game Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, albeit as an emulation rather than an actual port.
