Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600 is an action-adventure video game released in 1982. Based on the popular film of the same name, it casts players as the daring archaeologist Indiana Jones. The objective is to navigate various exotic locations, avoid traps, and solve puzzles to find the legendary Ark of the Covenant. It was one of the first games to include a virtual inventory and required the use of two joystick controllers to play, one for movement and the other for item selection, adding a layer of complexity and strategy unique for its time.
