---------

Indiana Jones and his desktop adventures 

randomly generates quests every time you 

play it.  Pretty much the only thing that 

stays constant every time is the town.

 

 

Town layout:

The building above your starting point is 

Marcus Brody's headquarters.  The building 

to the left of that is the bar.  Below the 

bar is Jose's market.  A little to the south 

east of Jose's is Indy's temporary home.

 

 

Indy's health meter is divided into four colors:

Green  ----- When the meter is all green, Indy is at 100%.

Yellow ----- Indy might want to heal soon.

Red    ----- Indy's health is dangerously low.

Black  ----- When the meter is all black, the game ends.

 

 

Indy has multiple weapons at his disposal:

Bow         ----- Found randomly

Luger       ----- Found randomly

Machete     ----- Found randomly

Spear       ----- Found randomly

Whip        ----- Always at Indy's house

Whip        ----- 3

General Hints and Tips

----------------------

When you walk into Marcus Brody's house, 

go to the refrigerator in the left room.

Push up against the fridge to get a First 

Aid Kit.

 

 

Jose will only give you Yerba Buena if your 

life meter has dropped significantly.

(Also, he will not give you any if you already 

have some in your inventory.)

 

 

If you talk to Gabriela, the barmaid, 

sometimes she will give you bananas or 

tequila.  Both are random occurrances.  

(Bananas heal you and tequila hurts you.)

 

 

Moving blocks, stools, rocks, boulders, and 

other things around often yields useful items.

 

 

The map is almost always within one screen of the town.

 

 

Teleporters can make traveling (or travelling) in larger

maps more manageable.  Teleporters look like + signs on

Indy's map.
