Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures is a 1996 computer game. Desktop Adventures was made to run in a windowed form on the desktop to limit memory use and allow the player to perform other tasks. It was the first Desktop Adventures game and was followed by Star Wars: Yoda Stories in 1997.
The game is set in mid-1930s Middle America with a variety of characters, puzzles, and outcomes. Each game averages 30 minutes. The plot, size, and direction of each game are randomly generated at the start, with locations and items being different every time.
The playing area is displayed from an overhead perspective. The player-controlled Indiana Jones was limited to orthogonal movement, which was controlled with the arrow keys. The mouse was used for other actions, such as managing inventory and using weapons. There was limited audio and no speech. Characters' dialogue was displayed in speech bubbles. After the game was won, the player could continue to explore the game.
