Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is an adventure game developed by LucasArts based on the Indiana Jones franchise.
Plot
In 1939, an undercover nazi stole a horned statue from Bartlett College, the university where Henry Jones Jr. taught.
Junior donned his leather jacket and fedora, grabbed his whip, and went out to discover the reason he was interested in the statue.
This brings him to a former colleague of his, Sophia Hapgood, who speaks about the lost city of Atlantis. Indiana Jones did not believe her, but after they retrieved the statue and other artifacts they were able to stow away on a nazi submarine that took them to the fabled city.
Jones then had to stop the nazis from using the power of the city for nefarious purposes.
