History VideoGame / IndianaJonesAndHisDesktopAdventures

GratuitousNazis: Included among human enemies. Upon first encounter, Indy will always complain about their unusually large presence in Central America.

* PoisonMushroom: Tequila, sometimes given to you by the barmaid. It takes away some of your health if you drink it.

* ThoseWackyNazis: Included among human enemies. Upon first encounter, Indy will always complain about their presence.

* AlienEpisode, BizarroEpisode: In a specific story, Marcus asks Indy to investigate a mysterious location. If everything is done correctly, [[spoiler: a UFO will be summoned and an Alien will invite Indy to follow him on his home planet.]]

* GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere: In a specific story, Marcus asks Indy to investigate a mysterious location. If everything is done correctly, [[spoiler: a UFO will be summoned and an Alien will invite Indy to follow him on his home planet.]]

* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: Every game typically begins with Marcus giving you a briefing and giving you "something to get you going" - usually a priceless ancient artifact which inevitably turns out to be just the thing a NPC needs.

* WeaponOfChoice: Aside from his standard [[WhipItGood trademark whip]], each adventure features a location which hides another weapon, like a Luger pistol, a spear, a bow and a machete. The first three weapons have a greater range, while the machete can hit diagonally as well.

* ThreeQuartersView

* {{Bandito}}: One of the kinds of human enemies.

Another game in this vein was ''VideoGame/YodaStories'', which, as the name implies, focused on the ''Franchsie/StarWars'' universe.

''Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures'' is a 1996 [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] and {{Mac}} game by Creator/LucasArts. Instead of the epic plot and puzzles of the previous ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' adventure games, it offers quick, "bite-sized" games; each time you start a new game, the world is generated randomly, and the puzzles are picked at random too from a large pool. As a result, every playthrough is different, and even after a couple of playthroughs you're likely to come across something you've never seen before.

* AnEconomyIsYou: The village Lucasio has the following inhabitants: the tutorial guy, a herb vendor (for healing), a barmaid (for occasional healing), Marcus (for the initial briefing), and you. Not really an "economy", though, since you don't pay any money and the only thing you receive in the village is healing.

* ICantUseTheseThingsTogether: Sometimes, trying an apparently logical solution which the developers/random generator didn't intend (e.g. trying to use a branch as an oar when you're supposed to use something else instead) will result in Indy {{handwaving}} as to why it wouldn't work (e.g. the water is too deep for the branch), or just saying "Hmm... not a bad idea, but it didn't quite work."

* LivingStatues: Sometimes encountered in final dungeons, they look harmless but if you interact with them they'll become alive and attack you. One quest has also a giant statue that blocks the path and demands a stele to move away.

* GiantSpider: Big spiders about the size of Indy are among common enemies. Subverted in that they do not deal much damage.

* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Melee enemies can attack you diagonally. You cannot do the same to them.

* GiantSpider: Big spiders about the size of Indy are among common enemies.

* ScaryScorpions: Giant scorpions are common foes.

{{Roguelike}} meets AdventureGame, sort of.

* EmptyRoomPsych: Most locations contain nothing whatsoever of interest (sometimes they have a hidden health pickup under a random rock, but it's rare.) Thankfully, your map, once found, tells you which locations contain something and which are empty.
* EndGameResultsScreen: The game shows you your "Indy Quotient" (IQ) at the end, affected not only by how fast you've completed the game, but also by the difficulty level you chose.
* FetchQuest: Expect to meet a lot of people standing around who ask you to bring them a specific useful or highly valuable item.

* HealingHerb: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_buena Yerba Buena]].

It is a simple adventure game with elements of action, set in Middle America. The puzzles are typical adventure fare: using items on the environment, giving stuff to people, pushing around blocks and furniture, and pressing switches. There are also enemies, and an assortment of weapons with which to fight them. The game allows adjusting the size of the game world (from tiny to sprawling) and combat difficulty (from simple enough that you can mostly ignore enemies, to brutal.)

* {{Bandito}}: The human enemies, other than Nazis.

* ThoseWackyNazis: The human enemies, other than banditos. Upon first encounter, Indy will always complain about their presence.

* GiantSpider: Big spiders about the size of Indy are among common enemies.

* McGuffin: Most of the time, your quest is to find a specific ancient artifact.

* ThatOneLevel: Any location where you have to find your way through dense trees, with no indication whatsoever which tiles are pass-through and which are not.

* AnEconomyIsYou: The village Lucasio has the following inhabitants: the tutorial guy, a herb vendor, a barmaid, Marcus, and you. Not really an "economy", though, since you don't pay any money and the only thing you receive in the village is healing.
