: : There was an article about his Iceland dig in National Archaeology. You know, the Jastro expedition - he was the field director. He must have had other stuff published as well... it's either publish or perish in the archaeological world.

: That picture of him in National Archeology was obviously taken no more than a few years before Fate of Atlantis took place (1939), since it looked like Harrison Ford and not like Sean Patrick Flannery. :)

: Which brings up an interesting point:

: On page 66 of the December 1998 issue of PC Gamer (the one with the huge article on Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine), it says, "The Indy voice is not, of course, that of Harrison Ford himself. In fact, because the Indiana Jones character and Ford's likeness exist as separate copyrights, an interesting hurdle the team must face is making the character look and sound like Indy... but not like Ford."

: Yet the picture of Indy's face in National Archeolgy (in the Fate of Atlantis game) is CLEARLY Harrison Ford's. I wonder how they got away with that... hmm...

This came up several months back. I raised the same point, only I pointed out that the novels all feature Ford's likeness on the covers. I forgot about FoA.

Michaelson provided an explananation as to how sometimes a likeness of Ford is OK, and how in the case of the Infernal Machine, it may not be allowed.

You can dig through old posts, or perhaps Michaelson can give us a brief recap. I'd try, but I might leave out something vital to the understanding of the issue.
