A 3D LucasArts adventure in the grand Indy tradition. Nineteen levels of temple and ruin exploration, whip, firearms and mechanical puzzles make a Tomb Raider built around the iconic archaeologist. The N64 visuals pale next to PC, but the adventurous spirit and writing remain present.

A LucasArts 3D adventure in the Tomb Raider vein, brought to N64 by THQ in December 2000, right at the console's end. Nineteen levels of temple exploration with whip and mechanical puzzles. The late print run was small, and the cart version, technically below the PC, was no big seller, leaving complete and especially sealed copies markedly scarcer than the N64 average. Aimed at Indy and adventure collectors.
Is Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine still worth playing in 2026?
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is a LucasArts 3D adventure in which the archaeologist explores Babylonian ruins and foils a Soviet plot tied to an infernal machine. The blend of exploration, environmental puzzles and action with whip and pistol, in the vein of Tomb Raider, conveys the spirit of the films well. The at-times stiff handling and a wayward camera betray the era. For fans of retro 3D action-adventure and the Indiana Jones universe, it is a polished and atmospheric adventure, faithful to the character.
