History VideoGame / IndianaJonesAndTheInfernalMachine

* CallBack: The secret level, Return to Peru, is [[Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it means]]. Indy returns to the location where [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the first movie began]]. Also serves as [[Main/BookEnds Book Ends]], if and only if the player didn't purchase the Secret Map; in which case, the level will take place after the end, and will feature closing credits.

* ChaseScene: Indy chasing after Volodnikov in a Benny Hill-esque fashion in the Nub's Tomb level, much like chasing a chicken. Blocking a path with a mid-sized statue [[Main/TooDumbToLive is all it takes]] to trap Volodnikov.

* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase

* EternalEngine: The Infernal Machine.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Volodnikov, to some extent. He lets Indy go and cancels his search after Marduk once he realizes how dangerous the outcome is.]]
** [[spoiler:It appears to be less that and more that Volodnikov never actually intended to use the Machine.]]
*** The entire plot is arguably a subversion of the old movies. [[spoiler:At first it seems that the Russians want the machine to conquer the world, but that was really just Turner's delusion. Volodnikov reveals that he knew how dangerous the machine really was, and it's implied that he only looked for it because otherwise the Americans could have tried to actually use it (which indeed Turner does in the end, putting America squarely on the villains side for once).]]

%%* JungleJapes: Peru.
* LethalLavaLand: The second and third Philippines levels.
* MinecartMadness: King Solomon's Mines.

* PalmtreePanic: The first Philippines level.

%%* ShiftingSandLand: Meroë.
%%* ShipLevel: The V.I. Pudovkin.

%%* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Kazakhstan.
* {{Sufficiently Advanced Alien}}s: Heavily implied with Marduk, who lives in another dimension that can be accessed by portal (also years before [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull the fourth movie]]).
* TempleOfDoom: Teotihuacan and Olmec Valley.

* FollowTheLeader: The game doesn't even try hiding its inspirations from the old-school ''Tomb Raider'' games. Some may even argue that The Infernal Machine is a better follow-up to Tomb Raider III than The Last Revelation, which came out virtually at the same time.

* JungleJapes: Peru.

* ShiftingSandLand: Meroë.
* ShipLevel: The V.I. Pudovkin.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Kazakhstan.
* SoOkItsAverage: The game wasn't ''bad'', but critical consensus was that it wasn't great, either, particularly due to difficult and imprecise controls. Indy had to stop moving to use the whip, which was also ''incredibly'' slow to use, making it almost useless in a fight and difficult to use on puzzles and obstacles (''especially'' when you had several whip-swings in sequence and they had to be performed quickly). [[spoiler:And the boss battle at the end ''requires'' you to use the whip to injure Marduk.]] Considering the [[Videogame/IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis what it followed]], ''Infernal Machine'' was a step back.

''Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine'' is a 3D action-platformer game based on the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' film series, developed for the {{PC}} by Creator/LucasArts and published in November 1999. Ports were subsequently developed by Factor 5 and [=HotGen=] for the {{Nintendo 64}} and {{Game Boy Color}} respectively.

* ObviousBeta: The N64 version. One of the most memorable glitches had to be the fact that in one level, when you tried to drop into a cave since access seemed impossible, when Indy fell in the water and you tried to resurface, he just swam through the air. Effective for getting in the cave, but he just drowned.

* BigBadEnsemble: [[DirtyCommunists Volodnikov]], [[spoiler: [[GeneralRipper Turner]]]], and [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Marduk]].
