While much of the latest movie is already gone from my mind, I have found myself humming the theme many times ...

Even if you don't practice practice playing it that often really gets songs stuck in your head. (and bringing it back the subject) I also think I have the Indiana Jones theme laying around somewhere from private lessons years ago. I play the Tenor Sax btw. well, to completely change the subject, I’m doing marching band for my first HS year and I already know what you mean because I’ve had daily band practice for the past 3 years.

I mean, I wouldn't recommend paying >$20 for any Halo game, yet they sold millions at full price. It ends up as a personal preference thing, eh? That is always the tough choice, isn’t it?

Then I finally remembered - the Temple of Doom arcade game. That was so awesome in the arcade, with the huge screen and all the voice clips. The collision detection? Not so great.

My clear fave is Raiders (I don't subscribe to the renaming bit), and I liked the 3rd one, but nowhere near as much as Raiders. #2 was my least fave for the stuff you mentioned, and #4 comes close but I think it is better than #2. My kids loved it, but I was left feeling pretty flat. I have never really played an Indy game before, don't know if I'll get the LEGO one. Disagree with you on the LEGO Star Wars games - I think they are some of the better games of the last few years, and full of loads of fun. Nice article Cary.
