Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive port of the 1994 Super Nintendo game of the same name, developed by Factor 5 and scheduled to be published by U.S. Gold in June 1995.^[2] Despite being complete and making numerous appearances in the gaming press, the bankruptcy of U.S. Gold left the game's producer, LucasArts, unable to fund the project - ultimately forcing the Mega Drive version's outright cancellation.

History

“	We did a 1:1 port of Indiana Jones to the Genesis that was not released due to US Gold, who was financing it for LucasArts, going out of business. We were pretty proud that all the Mode 7 and transparency effects made it on the Genesis.	„
— Julian Eggebrecht^[8]

A prototype was sold on eBay in 2015 for £770.
