  • Dirty Communists: These play the role of the nazis, years before the fourth movie.
  • Eternal Engine
  • Final Boss, New Dimension

  • Obvious Beta: 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.
  • Universal Ammunition: In game the C96 Mauser, Tokarev and PPSh-41 use the same ammo, labeled "9mm". In the real world while the these guns could use the same ammo, it would require underpowered ammo compared to Soviet standard to not blow up the C96 (7.62 Tokarev is the same as the 7.63 Mauser but loaded much hotter to ensure one-way ammo compatibility.).
