: : Sure, it's a LucasArts game! They make the best games, but they never, EVER meet their original release dates. They're usually pushed back several times and end up about a year later than originally expected. As Indy fans, remember Desktop Adventures? That was delayed forever. Don't worry; Infernal Machine will be here... eventually. (Unlike "Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix." Now what ever happened to THAT???)

: IJ and the Iron Phoenix is comic book mini series. Have there ever been plans to make a game of of this??

Yes. Well, actually, the comic series was an adaptation of the unreleased game, as Dark Horse's Fate of Atlantis was an adaptation of that game. If you look at the title page of the Iron Pheonix comic books, you'll see "based on the LucasArts game by Noah Falstein and Hal Barwood" or something like that. (I don't actually have it in front of me.) This was supposed to be the sequel to Fate of Atlantis, but the comics came and the game never did.
