So over on YouTube I've just posted the latest Lengthy Retrospective - a complete history and exploration of the Indiana Jones video game series.

It covers everything from the creation of the movies to the changing licensed game landscape that informed the games and manages to talk about over 30 different titles in the process.

It took a big push to get this one finished in good time so hopefully it pays off and you all enjoy it!

Happy watching!

Today we'll be exploring the wild world of Indiana Jones video games and tracing it's history from it's early days in the arcade through to it's death on the Xbox and PlayStation. Along the way we'll cover everything from Monkey Island to Star Wars, Tomb Raider to Uncharted, The NES to the Nintendo 64 - all in hopes of discovering what the future could hold for Henry Jones Junior. It's part critique, part retrospective, part review and part history lesson - obviously full of spoilers and obviously full of my opinions.

Loving it so far, some excellent work! Btw you got the tone and style of the sponsor spot on :)

I Finished A Video Game

That's great to hear. I did think about if I should take the opportunity or not but considering there was a bit of a risk with this video (potential oversaturation AND a lack of interest from the movie being a bit of a dud) I thought it was the safe move! That being said I was really worried it would come across as slimey so hopefully it seemed genuine! I sort of got my own back on them too as I used the Tom Nook music from Animal Crossing so I didn't have to feel so bad about selling out!

Yeah you came across as really genuine which always makes a sponsorship work! Really enjoyed this one, it’s a little sad that Indy never really takes off as a video game because no one fancied doing a couple of easy tomb raider/uncharted clones. At least it’s a good time to re-enjoy the fate of Atlantis properly! Playing it as a kid I never quite grasped the multiple routes through the game (embarrassingly).

I’ve watched this video atleast three times. I remember me and my best friend putting it on after watching DoD in the cinemas. Truly a great piece of work - endlessly watchable. I know my dream for a comprehensive Star Wars retrospective will probably be too much work, but here’s hoping! You deserve each and every one of those millions of views. All the best from Norway!
