,~* This limited role-playing series came from TSR, the company which dominated the
role-playing market of the 70's and 80's with "Dungeons & Dragons". The series
was started right after "Temple of Doom" and concentrated on stories from the
Marvel comic series "Further Adventures of Indiana Jones".
,~* In this game players take the roles of actual movie characters. There are also
solitaire rules for some adventures and special rules for two player quests. To play
the adventures you need the basic set with the resource manual. The miniatures and the
judges pack are not necessecary but useful additions to the game.
,~* The games are pretty good, featuring some very nice narrative writing and structure,
as well as some very nifty paintings from the art department.
,~* These games are not sold by TSR any more. You can still find copies of the games
in comicshops, scifi&fantasy-stores and on ebay.
