* HilariousInHindsight: For all the chiding ''Crystal Skull'' got for revealing [[spoiler: that the skull belong to interdimensional beings. The comic book of this game, made years before that movie, revealed the whole Atlantian society was inspired by ''aliens'']].
** When Indy is trying to figure out where a pile of bones in Atlantis came from. He speculates "Mars?...Hell?..." ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' would come out just one year later.

* CompleteMonster: In the {{novelization}} by Dale Dassel ([[https://www.scribd.com/document/386971278/Indiana-Jones-and-the-fate-of-Atlantis-by-whipwarrior-pdf link]]), [[ThoseWackyNazis Klaus Kerner]] is an ambitious [[StateSec SS]] colonel who seeks to use the Atlantean mineral {{orichalcum}} to fuel [[StupidJetpackHitler Nazi superweapons]] that will be able to blast any nation that dissents to the Reich "back to the Stone Age". Kerner shoots Jones in the gut and walls up a crying [[WouldHurtAChild 10-year-old child]] to die with him in the ruins of Atlantis and later turns over their female companion to be raped with scarcely a look back. Kerner's regard for even his allies is almost non-existent, and he murders his own ally Dr. Ubermann to obtain the godlike secrets of Atlantis alone.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Some fans even state that the game is [[BetterThanCanon better written]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom than two]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull of the films]]. It helps that [[AdventureGame the genre]] tends to parallel the pacing and writing structure of film more than other gaming genres (assuming you're not [[MoonLogicPuzzle getting stuck]]), allowing for a story that can feel like the movies without relying on GameplayAndStorySegregation.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler: Dr. Ubermann ends up finding Atlantis and, in a fit of megalomania, tries to transform himself into a god. The attempt atomizes him, and causes Atlantis to destroy itself once again. Indiana Jones being there doesn't really change any part of the story. At worst, the Nazis might have made off with some Orichalcum beads before Atlantis went tits up.]]

* ScrappyMechanic: The balloon ride and the submarine-steering scenes. The fighting could also be considered this, since this is an AdventureGame, but most of the time it can be skipped by using the "sucker punch".
