4.1.5  Infernal Indy

        [3rdPP adventure, LucasArts, 1999]

        PROS: Great graphics. Indy well animated with a large number of
              moves. Good AI. Chalk mark feature.
        CONS: Autoaim. Indy's sluggish response time. Uses DirectX.

        Real name: Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (Infernal Indy
        just sounds a lot better). A very TR-like game in feel (quid pro
        quo really given that the Divine Ponytail's adventures bare more
        than a passing resemblence to the Indy movies) which although
        far superior in all the technical aspects; graphics, sound,
        plot, etc., fails because Indy's responses are far more sluggish
        than Lara's are; press a key and there's a feeling of resistance
        (slight lag) before he moves (hence 'Infernal Indy') and some of
        the fancier moves require obscure combination keypresses. His
        walking action when swimming on the surface is funny. Otherwise
        the game is a reminder of what TR should be like.
