Raiders Of The Lost Ark was clearly a huge inspiration for the game. Were there any other influences?
Raiders was the main inspiration. Maybe Romancing The Stone too. When Simon Phipps and I were brainstorming ideas, we were thinking at the time there hadn’t been a good old exploration platform game starring a treasure-seeking explorer. With a whip. And a gun. Wearing a fedora. So it seemed like a good idea to make one.
You’d previously for the C64. Did that game’s jungle setting creep over into ?
