Indiana Jones mania

O my goodness, time sure flies by so quickly. Just one month more, before the release of the most awaited movie of the years: Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of Crystal Skull! Wait, do I hear someone shouted “Why would I care for just another Hollywood movie?” Well, maybe some below reasons might change your mind there:

• It’s been almost 19 years since the third movie, so to think why would George Lucas & Steven Spielberg wanted to resurrect Dr. Indiana Henry Jones Jr. back to silver screen again for the fourth one; would be enough to spark your curiosity isn’t it?


• It’s a Steven Spielberg movie for cryin’ out loud!


• No one except the actors, actresses & everyone who are involved directly with the movie; have know of the movie’s storyline. Spielberg & Lucas have made it very strict on the secrecy of the story; they even made people who work in it to sign a contract that stated them not to leak the story to anyone.



• the movie is set to be released world wide on May 22th, only such a major movie will get such treatment from Hollywood power house.



• the cast of stars like Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, John Hurt and many more; surely has stated enough this is a huge movie.



• maybe the very-last movie of Indiana Jones to be made.



• Google it up, and you’ll get too many of hits that your monitor’s vertical resolution can handle. Including some funny behind the stories before the movie was made, read them here.

Pheew, I think I should stop there. Otherwise I’ll sounds more like a PR for Indiana Jones movie ;-p
But what that’s all about got to do with PA & your mobile phone? If you’re a huge fan of Indiana Jones, or love playing games with your mobile gadgets; then you can replay the old RPG game: Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis (pictured left). Just to rekindle the spirit of the past memories, where sometimes those old 2D games are still my favorites to play even for now. If you recall I’ve posted long ago here at PA about it, too bad LucasArts is no longer make such adventure games like Indiana Jones there & Monkey Island 2 anymore.

But you may be wondering on how to make those old games run on your current modern gadgets right? Well, this is where ScummVM will barge in. ScummVM will become the engine to bridge the old platform with the nowadays OS of your devices, the current version (v0.11.1) has already supported many OS platforms. Including Windows Mobile 6, Palm OS 5, iPhone, etc., just download it from their website here.

I’ve noticed Sammy & my fellow Associate Writer, Ronald Abadi have also posted about it there at PA. Check it out; it’s a nice getaway if you’re bored with modern games. Although you’ll still need the games you wanted to play aside from ScummVM, you probably could get them from eBay or others places which sell official old games. Remember, stay safe and stay straight! ;-D
