Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a video game based on the third Indiana Jones film, originally released by US Gold and Tiertex for various home computers in 1989 with the added subtitle The Action Game, as to differentiate it from the Lucasfilm-developed graphic adventure adaptation released around the same time.
The following year both companies brought the game to the Sega Master System only in Europe, and in 1992 it saw ports to the Sega Game Gear and the Sega Mega Drive, being the first two console ports of the game to see release in North America.
Gameplay
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' is a side-scrolling action game which loosely follows the events of the movie.
The Last Crusade is frequently criticised for its high difficulty, forcing players to complete stages in strict time limits and limiting the use of Indy's whip.
Versions
While the core structure of the game is consistent between all ports, the Mega Drive version has entirely different level layouts and features a handful of game mechanics which are missing in the 8-bit versions.
Very few differences separate the Game Gear and Master System versions, save for screen resolution. As with many Master System to Game Gear conversions, the lower resolution of the Game Gear makes this version significantly more difficult than its home console counterparts.
