Given the fact both characters were played by Harrison Ford and his video game representations would thus look alike, re-using the animations does seem efficient. Note how Han's/Indy's animations for jumping and firing look very much alike in terms of pose: Indy firing his pistol looks just like Han Solo with his blaster except they wear different clothes. This is especially evident when comparing the character animations of Han Solo with Indiana Jones. who apparently re-used some of the graphical content from the Star Wars games for this Indiana Jones platformer.
Just like the Super Star Wars series of games for the SNES, this game was published by JVC Musical Industries, Inc. Gold and was even reviewed by GamePro in its August 1995 edition (rated 3.5 out of 5.0), but it was never released. However, they praised the game's graphics, especially the Mode 7 effects, and gave it a score of 7 out of 10.A port was developed for the Sega Genesis by U.S. 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.
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. GamePro described it as a decent though unexceptional side-scroller. On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the game a 25 out of 40. In order to play Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, the player must progress through the game or use a password. All three of the movies are featured in the game, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only one playable upon starting the game. If Indy dies in an area, the player restarts from the beginning of the current area. Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures uses the same engine as the Super Star Wars series and is divided into 28 areas, many of them in side-scrolling view and others in driving stages. Once in a while, the game breaks the mold from the typical action and plunges the player into various other types of gameplay, such as flying a plane, riding a mine cart, and going down a mountain on a raft.
Besides attacking, the whip can also be used as a method of swinging across pits. Occasionally a gun can be found that has unlimited ammo, and grenades are available in limited numbers. Jones's main method of attack is his bull-whip, but he can also damage enemies by punching or rolling into them. The game is primarily action based, and the player controls Indiana Jones through levels based on events of the movies.
