Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures

According to Famitsu, Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures sold 26,272 copies during its lifetime in Japan. The game received generally favorable reception, holding a rating of 75.13% based on four reviews according to review aggregator GameRankings. Computer and Video Games praised the graphics and sound, but also opined that the game "doesn't break any new ground", stating that it "packs a great challenge but with few surprises". GamePro described it as a decent though unexceptional side-scroller. They cited the game's faithful recreation of the scenery and enemies of the films as its strongest point, but found that the graphics are inconsistent, the music is excellent but stays the same through most of the game, and the stages are far too easy. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly contradicted this, saying that the game is extremely challenging, with two of them adding that it suffers from frequent unavoidable hits. However, they praised the game's graphics, especially the Mode 7 effects, and gave it a score of 7 out of 10. In 2008, Levi Buchanan of IGN included it on his list of top 10 Indiana Jones games, calling it "a great platformer that delivers real challenge as well as faithful adherence to the heart and soul of each film". Buchanan praised the music and graphics: "The recreation of the classic themes is fantastic and the looping never waters down their effectiveness. [...] The sprite work is solid, the Mode 7 stuff is well done, and lots of great color choices really bring the game to life". The game was re-released for the Wii in 2009, as a Virtual Console (VC) game. This version was reviewed by Marcel van Duyn of Nintendo Life, who praised the graphics and music. Van Duyn considered it one of the best Indiana Jones games ever. Reviewing the SNES version in 2011, Jeuxvideo.com praised its graphics and music. In 2021, Gerald Lynch of TechRadar included it on a list of the best Indiana Jones games ever, while calling it "brutally hard". In 2018, Complex rated the game 55th in their "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time".
