Trivia / Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

• Dummied Out: The game code features several rooms and scenes which are never even seen in the finished game, including an entire section based around Sophia's apartment (which was relegated to only being an unplayable Cut Scene in the final version).
  • The first involved Indy returning to Barnett College instead of meeting with Sophia in New York, something possible to do in the final product. A deleted scene had Marcus talking with Indy and asking him to return to New York to help Sophia.
  • The World Map was going to have Leningrad and Cadiz as visitable locations. These locations do not appear in game, but instead appear in the comic book adaptation.
  • Sopha's office has more to it seen outside of gameplay, where it would have been possible to enter her parlor. This room also contains the usual Lucas Arts running gag of Chuck the Plant in a sequence where Sophia would have been playable.
  • The Labyrinth originally had a much bigger statue of the Minotaur.
  • A toolbox of parts could have been find on the Fists path version of the U-boat, something that is normally not possible as Indy reaches Atlantis via a deepsea dive from Thera.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Following the success of the Last Crusade game, the earliest idea for a sequel was to make an adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Monkey King, a screenplay by Chris Columbus which was written to be the third movie before it was scrapped in favor of Crusade. Hal Barwood considered the story substandard and convinced LucasArts to let him create an original plot instead.
  • An additional area, which was set in Spain, was scrapped.
  • Two different sequels were planned but never released. One, Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix, was pretty far into development before being cancelled due to political reasons (the plot involving Nazis hiding in Bolivia attempting to resurrect Hitler, and Germany, a top market for adventure games, would likely have never allowed the game to be sold). Another, which seems to have only existed in concepts, involved the spear of Longinus. Both games were adapted into comics, however.
