The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles is a short, small NES game with Indy branding. But honestly, without the cutscenes and the whip, it could be any other NES run and gun à la Contra. But it never reaches the same quality. Sure, the controls are snappy and go off without a hitch. The levels are colourful and varied. However, the game suffers from the curse of almost all NES games. It is incredibly hard to stretch the playing time. The last boss in particular almost drove me to despair. The only thing that helps is to try again and again, from the beginning in case you lose all your lives, and hope that you haven't forgotten everything by the time you get there again. Still, it's quite cool. But you'd better go and play Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures.
