With his trademark fedora and bullwhip, Indiana Jones is just as recognisable today as he was when he first appeared on the big screen in 1981.

In the years since, this pop culture icon has likewise starred in his own collection of video games, with Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures and The Fate Of Atlantis being notable highlights. One of the best, though, is 2003's Indiana Jones And The Emperor's Tomb.

Set before the events of Temple Of Doom, the plot follows the charismatic archeologist as he embarks on a globe-trotting adventure in search of The Heart of the Dragon, a relic said to give its wielder immense power. 

Throughout the game, players venture to jungle ruins, hidden temples, and the streets of Hong Kong where they solve puzzles and engage in satisfying melee brawls. They could even use Indy's trusty whip to swing across gaps and disarm enemies. Combined with its gorgeous score, Emperor's Tomb captured the spirit of the movies to remarkable effect.

Following the success of MachineGames' Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, now would be the perfect time to bring back this classic with the same graphical fidelity and polish as Indy's latest video game outing.
