Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures was released in 1994 by LucasArts Entertainment, developed by Factor 5, and licensed by Nintendo. The game is based on the trilogy of movies, beggining with [[Raiders_of_the_Lost_Ark| Raiders]] and ending with [[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade|Last Crusade]]. It is mostly side scrolling action/adventure, but gameplay will sometimes switch to some sort of vehicle level (The mine cart chase in [[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom|Temple of Doom]]). It utilizes the same engine as Super Star Wars, which some gamers found dissapointing.

The game uses in-game still-shots of movies with text to describe the scenes, which left out some detail (the car chase of Raiders, the supporting characters of Temple of Doom, and about half the story of Last Crusade). On a positive note, speech samples are used often in the game, including a nifty "I've lost him" from Henry Jones Sr. whenever you recieve a game over. It also includes a simple and effective password system consisting of greek letters. This makes for a good replay value, as the scenes re-created perfectly in the game (like the Cairo swordsman) makes for quite a bit of fun. The Raiders March theme in the game is different to the original song.

All three of the films are featured in the game, but ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' is the only one playable upon starting the game. In order to play ''Temple of Doom'' and ''Last Crusade'', passwords have been progressed through the game. The password cheats are letters from the Greek alphabet. Like the ''Super Star Wars Trilogy'', ''Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures'' is regarded as an extremely challenging game to complete and many levels are often quite long and include several enemies of all type, in some levels you have to fight with a villain from the movie in that you are playing. While the stages from ''Raiders'' and ''Last Crusade'' are of moderate difficulty, some levels from ''Temple of Doom'' (such as the Pankot caves) bring with them a very high level of difficulty and a large amount of traps and enemies.

The most difficult stages in the game are the driving stages: The snowraft and mine car chase from ''Temple of Doom'', and the biplane dogfight from ''Last Crusade'', where the player has to avoid certain traps and enemies.

Also if the player loses all of their lives in some area (for example Cairo in ''Raiders''), he is forced to start all the stages of the area in which he was defeated.

The game's graphics and music are also generally regarded positively (with music taken from [[John Williams]]'s compositions of the films). In the negative side, a common complaint about the music was the limited use of music from all of the films (many of them taken from ''Raiders'', three themes from ''Temple of Doom'', and none taken from ''Last Crusade''). Also many scenes from the films are not present in the game (the truck chase from ''Raiders'', the boat and motorcycle chase along with the opening from ''Last Crusade'').

All three of the films are featured in the game, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only one playable upon starting the game. In order to play Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, passwords have been progressed through the game. The password cheats are letters from the Greek alphabet. Like the Super Star Wars Trilogy, Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures is regarded as an extremely challenging game to complete and many levels are often quite long and include several enemies of all type, in some levels you have to fight with a villain from the movie in that you are playing. While the stages from Raiders and Last Crusade are of moderate difficulty, some levels from Temple of Doom (such as the Pankot caves) bring with them a very high level of difficulty and a large amount of traps and enemies.

The most difficult stages in the game are the driving stages: The snowraft and mine car chase from Temple of Doom, and the biplane dogfight from Last Crusade, where the player has to avoid certain traps and enemies. If the player is defeated in these stages, he has to restart the entire level. Also if the player loses all of their lives in some area (for example Cairo in Raiders), he is forced to start all the stages of the area in which he was defeated.
