The Adventures of Indiana Jones is a role-playing game created by TSR, Inc., allowing players to assume the roles of Indiana Jones and his companions in various adventures. The 64-page rulebook includes instructions on how to play the game, along with an introductory adventure based on Marvel Comics' "The Ikons of Ikammanen". It came packaged with a pair of ten-sided dice and a handful of cardboard extras, including character cutouts, a map, and a gamemaster screen.
