Some curious details in this room include the paint-by-numbers Mona Lisa and the statue from Maniac Mansion. Check out the eagle on the wall of this kitchen, featuring a chef's hat, and holding a knife and spoon. You will occasionally come across some absurd details in the artwork. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is surprisingly funny, and feels closer to The Secret of Monkey Island in tone than The Fate of Atlantis. It's a clever system, that makes for a lot of variation despite a relatively little memory cost. Most of the rooms in Castle Brunwald are made up from three basic rooms (one is technically a hallway), each with a selection of interchangeable elements. This VGA remaster has a gradient fill on every wall surface, making the end result almost metallic looking. It's almost like the artist abandoned the art before it was done. It's hard to say what happened to the VGA art in this establishing shot of Castle Brunwald. The VGA art adds some cobwebs and details in the shadows, and changes one of the light sources to purple, otherwise this Templar knight is kept very much the same as his EGA original. The specks indicating dirt and decay have not been kept, however, giving the remastered room a feeling of being recently built in concrete.

The walls in this room have gone through the same gradient treatment as most of the other rooms. This doorways to this room had its colours changed, most likely to match up with the colour-coding mentioned above. The VGA version of the game added colour-coded doorways in the labyrinth, and I think this was done to answer some of that critique. Three of the locations in the game feature labyrinths of this size, and game reviewers at the time commented on this. There were no less than three screens like the one above in the catabombs alone. The game would only show the area closest to the player sprite, fading the rest out to black. The rooms in the catacombs are part of a large labyrinth.

They're just set to 'spatter' mode down here. So you thought you could escape the gradients by going down into the cataombs? Oh no you don't. Those hues could have been possible in EGA, but the original artists decided to keep the style more minimalistic. Compare the cold and stylized original above to the more colourful remaster. While the original EGA catacombs use colours sparingly, the VGA remaster adds a lot more variation. I'm guessing these were designed by Steve Purcell. The original EGA catabombs feature some stunning illustration work, with a really unique and dynamic style. The library puzzle was random each time you played the game, so the team made several variations of the room to accomodate for that. Here's an amusing thing I noticed when I assembled the animation above: Looks like they forgot to put feet on the man sitting at the far right. I challenge you to find a surface that does not have a gradient on it. They seem to be done without any idea of how light affects a surface or what textures the surfaces are made of. This is where we first encounter the excessive gradient fills that haunt the remaster of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The biggest difference is the larger Sam and Max totem. Its interesting to see the slight changes of some objects in Indy's collection. You can buy the remastered VGA game here.

Hover the cursor over the images to see the remastered VGA version. I put some extra animation in the end as a reward. The EGA catacombs are especially beautiful, so don't leave the page before you have seen them. I'm not including every single background here, but I tried putting up as many as possible to showcase the EGA artwork. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was a huge game, twice the size of Lucasfilms previous game, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. There will be a lot of images on this page, so be warned. The VGA version, first released on the japanese FM Towns computer in 1990, adds Jim McLeod and James Dollar to the credits. The original EGA art for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was done by Mike Ebert, Steve Purcell, and Martin Cameron.
