(Those of us who were truly socially isolated sometimes had collections that exceeded our own body weight by a factor of three.) So you probably already know that in 1999, following a freak accident in which a truckload of LEGOs suddenly jackknifed in front of Skywalker Ranch, LEGO began releasing Star Wars themed sets in connection with the release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

And, like most geeky children, you probably also had access to some number of LEGOs. If you grew up geeky in the eighties, as I did, you’re familiar with the Geek mythology: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Tron. It’s a game that adapts easily to various skill levels, has a rich and multifaceted co-op mode, and exposes today’s young geeks to the rich culture and history of the Great Geek Classics of our time. More than that, it’s a fun, well-designed, family-friendly game that those of us who are rapidly approaching middle age can play with our kids. LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a fun, well-designed video game.
