published by [[LucasArts]]. It was the seventh game to use the [[SCUMM]] adventure [[game engine]].

== Plot ==
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:Indy_foa_screenshot.png|thumb|250px|left|In the [[Labyrinth]] of [[Knossos]].]]

The game's plot was quite sophisticated, based on writings by [[Plato]]. Using the lead character from the well-known [[Indiana Jones]] film series but based on an original story, it concerned Indy who was asked by Marcus Brody and a certain Mr.Smith to find a particular strange idol from the College museum. When Indy returns, inside the statue they find a small metal bead and Smith, to their surprise, steals the statue. It is revealed his real name is Klaus Kerner and he is an agent of the [[Third Reich]] and his next target is [[Sophia Hapgood]]. 

Sophia Hapgood, an ex-colleague of Indy, now presents herself as a psychic, giving seminars about Atlantis and communicating with the Atlantean god-king Nur-ab-sal. Kerner was after her medallion, which she and Indy found in [[Iceland]] and which helped her communicate with Nur-ab-sal. A race between Jones and the [[Nazi]]s to find the mythical lost continent of [[Atlantis]] begins, which may contain technology vital to the future of the world, since Kerner discovered that the metal bead found in the statue was [[Orichalcum]], the legendary metal that would give extreme power to machines and create bombs. Kerner finds this out after bringing the bead and statue to his [[mad scientist]] boss, Dr. Hans Ubermann.

On some point, the team must find ''[[Hermocrates|The Hermocrates]]'', the lost dialogue of [[Plato]] discussing Atlantis further than his previous works (''[[Timaeus]]'' and ''[[Critias]]''). Indy visits places that are connected to the Atlantis literature, like a [[Mayan]] pyramid, the [[Azores]], [[Thera]] and [[Crete]], and the plot attempts to tie together many of the existing theories concerning Atlantis (which in reality are independent and don't necessarily co-exist).

The middle part of the game has three alternative paths. At the end, they all merge and Indy and Sophia meet again. Atlantis is found in the [[Aegean sea]], and as expected, it is depicted in ruins but in a strange alien-like manner.

== Technical Details ==
More innovative than the earlier Indiana Jones adventure game, ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'', ''Fate of Atlantis'' featured a nod to originality by including three differing paths to the completion of the game and many alternative ways to solve puzzles. The player who finishes all of the puzzles in all three paths and all of the alternative solutions, receives a full IQ (Indy Quotient) score. At one point in the game, during a dialogue sequence, the player chooses between three paths: The ''Wits'' path concentrates on puzzles, the ''Fists'' path is more dependent on fist fights (the game includes a rudimentary engine for such fights), and the ''Team'' path combines both elements and features [[Sophia Hapgood]] as a sidekick.

It is also significant for breaking with the LucasArts adventure game tradition of not allowing the player to die (though it was also possible to die at some points in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure|Last Crusade]]'' and ''[[Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders|Zak McKracken]]''). After the player's death, a short "what happened next" plot summary and a score appear. To the player's advantage, the game conveniently alerts the player of impending danger so that he or she can play more cautiously.

The project was led by [[Hal Barwood]]; Barwood wrote the story and designed the game together with [[Noah Falstein]]. The music was composed by [[Michael Land]], [[Clint Bajakian]], and [[Peter McConnell]], based heavily upon the works of [[John Williams]].

The game was re-released on CD-ROM with a full voiceover soundtrack in [[1993]], with the characters voiced in a very dramatic manner by a low-budget cast of (previously?) unknowns.

== Trivia ==
* Game resource editing programs like [[ScummRev]] have revealed that there is an unused ('secret') room in the game code that didn't make it to the final version. This room is Sophia's bedroom, and lies next to her ransacked office. The programmers must have originally planned some more action in Sophia's apartment, but then thought that the presence of such a room and an additional sequence would not be vital to the gameplay. In the final version, all that takes place in Sophia's apartment is an extended dialogue in her office.

* In the 'secret' bedroom, some objects can be identified with [[ScummRev]]; this indicates that the programmers intended some puzzle to be solved by the player, apart from the office dialogue. In that bedroom, perhaps Sophia made her introduction as a playable character, so that the player had to guide her to, for example, find the [[orichalcum]] bead. One of the useable objects is labeled as [[Chuck the Plant]], which is an inside joke at LucasArts and a nod to several previous LucasArts games. 

* The adventure game was released simultaneously with ''[[Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis: The Action Game]]'', a remake loosely following the same storyline, and belonging to the arcade-adventure genre. It never enjoyed great popularity.

* A four-issue [[comic book]] mini-series based on the game's storyline was published by [[Dark Horse Comics]] in [[1991]] before the game was released. The following years, there were unsubstantiated rumours that the ''Fate of Atlantis'' franchise (known as [[Indiana Jones 4]]) was the official precursor to a fourth movie.

* LucasArts had planned on developing this game for the [[Sega CD]], but canceled the game after its Sega CD edition of [[The Secret of Monkey Island]] failed to be much of a commercial success.

== Sequels ==
Since the planned sequel ''[[Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix]]'', was discontinued by [[LucasArts]] in [[1995]] a few fan groups started developing fan-games, but [[as of 2004]], none of them had been finished.

LucasArts also released two 3D action titles using the Indiana Jones license, ''[[Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine]]'' and ''[[Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb]]'', with a third currently in development.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''XML-RPC''' is a [[remote procedure call]] protocol which uses [[XML]] to encode its calls and [[HTTP]] as a transport mechanism. It is a very simple protocol, defining only a handful of data types and commands, and the entire description can be printed on two pages of paper. This is in stark contrast to most RPC systems, where the standards documents often run into the thousands of pages and require considerable [[software]] support in order to be used.

It was first created by [[Dave Winer]] of [[UserLand Software]] in [[1995]] with [[Microsoft]]. However, Microsoft considered it too simple and started adding functionality. After several rounds of this, the standard was no longer so simple and became what is now [[SOAP]].

==Examples==

An example of a typical XML-RPC request would be:
 &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
 &lt;methodCall&gt;
   &lt;methodName&gt;examples.getStateName&lt;/methodName&gt;
   &lt;params&gt;
     &lt;param&gt;
         &lt;value&gt;&lt;i4&gt;41&lt;/i4&gt;&lt;/value&gt;
     &lt;/param&gt;
   &lt;/params&gt;
 &lt;/methodCall&gt;

An example of a typical XML-RPC response would be:
 &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
 &lt;methodResponse&gt;
   &lt;params&gt;
     &lt;param&gt;
         &lt;value&gt;&lt;string&gt;South Dakota&lt;/string&gt;&lt;/value&gt;
     &lt;/param&gt;
   &lt;/params&gt;
 &lt;/methodResponse&gt;

A typical XML-RPC fault would be:
 &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
 &lt;methodResponse&gt;
   &lt;fault&gt;
     &lt;value&gt;
       &lt;struct&gt;
         &lt;member&gt;
           &lt;name&gt;faultCode&lt;/name&gt;
           &lt;value&gt;&lt;int&gt;4&lt;/int&gt;&lt;/value&gt;
         &lt;/member&gt;
         &lt;member&gt;
           &lt;name&gt;faultString&lt;/name&gt;
           &lt;value&gt;&lt;string&gt;Too many parameters.&lt;/string&gt;&lt;/value&gt;
         &lt;/member&gt;
       &lt;/struct&gt;
     &lt;/value&gt;

      <text xml:space="preserve">A '''chemical series''' is a group of [[chemical element]]s whose physical and chemical characteristics vary progressively from one end of the series to another.  

Chemical series were discovered before the creation of the [[periodic table]] of the chemical elements, which was created to try to organise the elements according to their chemical properties.

Several chemical series correspond exactly to [[periodic table group]]s: this is not a coincidence, the physical properties that group them arise from the same [[atomic orbital]] configurations that place them in the same group in the periodic table.

The chemical series of the periodic table are the:

{|

      <text xml:space="preserve">In [[complex analysis]], a '''meromorphic function''' on an [[open set|open subset]] ''D'' of the [[complex plane]] is a function that is [[holomorphic function|holomorphic]] on all ''D'' ''except''  a set of [[isolated point]]s, which are [[pole (complex analysis)|pole]]s for the function. 

Every meromorphic function on ''D'' can be expressed as the ratio between two [[holomorphic function]]s (with the denominator not constant 0) defined on ''D'': the poles then occur at the zeroes of the denominator.
[[Image:Gamma abs.png|thumb|right|The [[Gamma function]] is meromorphic in the whole complex plane]]

Intuitively then, a meromorphic function is a ratio of two nice (holomorphic) functions. Such a function will still be &quot;nice&quot;, except at the points where the denominator of the fraction is zero, when the value of the function will be infinite. 

From an algebraic point of view, if ''D'' is [[connected set|connected]], then the set of meromorphic functions is the [[field of fractions]] of the [[integral domain]] of the set of holomorphic functions. That is an analogue to &lt;math&gt; \mathbb{Q}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt; \mathbb{Z}&lt;/math&gt;.

==Examples==
* All [[rational function]]s such as 
::''f''(''z'') = (''z''&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;minus; 2''z'' + 1)/(''z''&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; + 3''z'' &amp;minus; 1)
:are meromorphic on the whole complex  plane.
*The functions 
::''f''(''z'') = exp(''z'')/''z'' and ''f''(''z'') = sin(''z'')/(''z'' &amp;minus; 1)&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; 
:as well as the [[gamma function]] and the [[Riemann zeta function]] are meromorphic on the whole complex plane.
* The function 
::''f''(''z'') = exp(1/''z'')
: is defined in the whole complex plane except for the origin, 0. However, 0 is not a pole of this function, rather an [[essential singularity]]. Thus, this function is not meromorphic in the whole complex plane. However, it is meromorphic (even holomorphic) on '''C'''\{0}.

* The function ''f''(''z'') = ln(''z'') is not meromorphic on the whole complex plane, as it cannot be defined on the whole complex plane except an isolated set of points.

==Properties==

Since the poles of a meromorphic function are isolated, they are at most [[countable|countably]] many. The set of poles can be infinite, as exemplified by the function
: ''f''(''z'')=1/sin(''z'').

By using [[analytic continuation]] to eliminate [[removable singularity|removable singularities]], meromorphic functions can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and the quotient ''f''/''g'' can be formed unless ''g''(''z'') = 0 on a [[connected component]] of ''D''.  Thus, if ''D'' is connected, the meromorphic functions form a [[field (mathematics)|field]], in fact a [[field extension]] of the [[complex numbers]].

In the language of [[Riemann surface]]s, a meromorphic function is the same as a holomorphic function that maps to the [[Riemann sphere]] and which is not constant &amp;infin;. The poles correspond to those complex numbers which are mapped to &amp;infin;.

      <text xml:space="preserve">In [[complex analysis]], an '''essential singularity''' of a function is a &quot;severe&quot; [[singularity (mathematics)|singularity]] near which the function exhibits extreme behavior. 

Formally, consider an [[open set|open subset]] ''U'' of the [[complex plane]] '''C''', an element ''a'' of ''U'', and a [[holomorphic function]] ''f'' defined on ''U'' - {''a''}. The point ''a'' is called an ''essential singularity'' for ''f'' if it is a singularity which is neither a [[pole (complex analysis)|pole]] nor a [[removable singularity]].

For example, the function ''f''(''z'') = [[exponential function|exp]](1/''z'') has an essential singularity at ''a'' = 0.

The point ''a'' is an essential singularity if and only if the [[limit (mathematics)|limit]] 
:&lt;math&gt;\lim_{z\to a}f(z)&lt;/math&gt;
does not exist as a complex number nor equals [[infinity]]. This is the case if and only if the [[Laurent series]] of ''f'' at the point ''a'' has infinitely many  negative degree terms (the [[principal part]] is an infinite sum).

The behavior of holomorphic functions near essential singularities is described by the [[Weierstrass-Casorati theorem]] and by the considerably stronger [[Picard's great theorem]]. The latter says that in every [[Neighbourhood (mathematics)|neighborhood]] of an essential singularity ''a'', the function ''f'' takes on ''every'' complex value, except possibly one, infinitely often.

'''Stone Temple Pilots''' (abbreviated '''STP''') were a popular [[alternative metal]] band formed in [[1990]], after [[Scott Weiland]] and [[Robert DeLeo]] met at a [[Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] concert in [[Long Beach, California]] and discovered that they were dating the same woman. They got to know each other, rather than fight over the woman, who eventually fled to [[Texas]]; the two moved into her old San Diego apartment and started playing together. Robert got his brother [[Dean DeLeo]] to join their jamming sessions and also found [[Eric Kretz]], who was then with another band, to play drums.

In [[1990]], going by the name [[Mighty Joe Young (band)|Mighty Joe Young]], they played at [[Whisky A Go-Go|Whisky]] in [[Los Angeles, California]]. In [[1992]], Don Mullen, a booking agent for Triad Artists, saw them perform and led them to [[Atlantic Records]].  On [[April 1]], [[1992]], they signed a contract and began recording tracks with [[Brendan O'Brien]]. During the recording, STP's lawyer called and told them there was a [[blues]] musician who had already claimed the name Mighty Joe Young. They changed the band's name to [[Shirley Temple]] Pussy after seeing the [[STP (motor oil company)|STP Motor Oil Company]] logo, but ended up changing it because of pressure from the record label. Wanting to keep the band's initials, they came up with Stone Temple Pilots. In [[September]] [[1992]], they released their first album, ''[[Core (album)|Core]]'', including the hit songs &quot;Plush&quot;, &quot;Creep&quot;, &quot;Wicked Garden&quot;, and &quot;Sex Type Thing&quot;. The critics initially disregarded the group, writing them off as a derivative of [[grunge]] bands such as [[Pearl Jam]], [[Soundgarden]], and [[Alice in Chains]]. After the &quot;Plush&quot; video appeared on [[MTV]], showing the band through a distorted lens, many supposed Scott Weiland and Pearl Jam lead singer [[Eddie Vedder]] were the same person. The still long-haired Vedder reported receiving messages complimenting him on his new short, red hairdo. 

In [[1994]], STP released their second album, ''[[Purple (album)|Purple]]'', which debuted at No. 1 and stayed there for three weeks. [[1995]] saw the band take a turn in the wrong direction, when [[Scott Weiland]] got involved with a side music project, [[Magnificent Bastards]], and with [[heroin]]. In May [[1995]], Weiland was arrested for possession of rock cocaine and heroin. Weiland was given one year's probation and during this time the group recorded their next album ''[[Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop]]''. Although this CD got better reviews than their previous albums, it failed to generate as many sales. Still not having kicked his drug habit, Weiland was ordered by a judge to go into a drug rehabilitation program. Weiland had left the program at Impact House, without notice, but returned the next day. In [[October]] of that year, suggestive pictures of Weiland and [[Courtney Love]] surfaced and, luckily for Weiland, ''[[Hustler]]'' publisher [[Larry Flynt]] refused to publish the pictures. On [[November 4]]th of that year, Weiland was released from the rehab program and STP began touring again in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], but again, Weiland went back in rehab, starting rumours that the band was breaking up, which turned out to be untrue.

In [[September]] [[1997]], while STP was on hiatus, Weiland released a solo album, ''[[12 Bar Blues (album)|Twelve Bar Blues]]'', while the remaining members of STP formed the one-time band [[Talk Show (band)|Talk Show]], with former Ten Inch Men singer [[Dave Coutts]]. Neither release did well commercially.

STP soon reunited, releasing ''[[No. 4 (album) | No. 4]]'' in [[1999]]. Shortly after its completion, Weiland was sentenced to a year in a Los Angeles county jail for violating probation.

During the summer of [[2001]], STP released ''[[Shangri-La Dee Da]]''.

On [[November 11]], [[2003]], STP released a CD/DVD entitled ''[[Thank You (Stone Temple Pilots album)|Thank You]]'', a [[greatest hits]] album.

Meanwhile, since [[2002]], [[Scott Weiland]] has formed the hard rock/[[heavy metal]] band [[Velvet Revolver]] with former members of [[Guns N' Roses]], plus [[Dave Kushner]].

Band members (and brothers) [[Robert DeLeo]] and [[Dean DeLeo]] recently announced the formation of a new band &quot;[[Army of Anyone]]&quot; led by [[Filter (band)|Filter]] frontman [[Richard Patrick]].  

Eric Kretz currently plays drums in the band Spiralarms.

'''''Sam &amp; Max Hit the Road''''' is a graphical [[adventure game]], originally developed and released by [[LucasArts]] in [[1993]] for [[DOS]] and [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] computers. It is the ninth game to use the [[SCUMM]] adventure game engine.

Based on ''[[Sam and Max|Sam &amp; Max: Freelance Police]]'' [[comic book]] characters created by [[Steve Purcell]], it follows the detective duo (Sam; a 6 foot [[anthropomorphic]] dog, and Max; a 3 foot &quot;hyperkinetic rabbity thing&quot;) across a kitsch, tourist trap pastiche of America (featuring [[Biggest ball of twine|The World's Largest Ball of Twine]]) in search of an escaped [[Bigfoot|sasquatch]].

[[Image:Sam_max.jpg|left|thumb|210px|''Sam &amp; Max Hit the Road'' screenshot]]

It introduced a slightly modified SCUMM interface - instead of the inventory and a panel with the control verbs appearing at the bottom of the screen, a right-click of the mouse cycles through a set of icons representing different control verbs, with the inventory as a separate screen. A similar interface was later used in ''[[The Dig]]'' and all SCUMM games that followed it.

It was written and designed by Steve Purcell along with [[Sean Clark]], [[Collette Michaud]] and [[Michael Stemmle]] and commonly applauded for its substantial amount of humour. It was released simultaneously on [[floppy disk]] and [[CD-ROM]]; the CD version had a full voiceover soundtrack.

== Technical issues ==
Though still available in stores, usually as a budget release, a major problem found by users of modern PCs is that no music can be heard. This problem is easily solved by one of two methods. Firstly an updated executable file can be obtained from the Unofficial Sam &amp; Max Website [http://www.samandmax.net/index.php?section=hittheroad&amp;page=techhelp], which also includes basic [[anti-aliasing]] code to improve the visuals of the game.

Alternatively, [[ScummVM]] (or [[DOSBox]]) can be used to run this and many other [[LucasArts adventure games]] on a number of originally unsupported platforms while also having a number of optional filter settings for improved image quality.

== Sequel ==
Nearly a decade since the release of the original adventure game, LucasArts issued a statement to the press on [[August 23]], [[2002]] announcing a sequel to ''Sam &amp; Max Hit the Road'' titled '''''Sam &amp; Max Freelance Police'''''. The sequel, like the original, was to be a classic point-and-click adventure game, although this time utilising [[3D computer graphics]]. Mike Stemmle, co-designer of ''Sam &amp; Max Hit the Road'', was the lead director on this project with Steve Purcell contributing story design and [[concept art]].

[[Image:SamMaxFreelancePolice.jpg|left|thumb|210px|A screenshot from the E³ trailer of ''Sam &amp; Max Freelance Police''.]]

Although concept images, a promotional [[E3]] teaser video and screenshots were released, LucasArts announced the cancellation of the anticipated title on [[March 3]], [[2004]], citing &quot;current market place realities and underlying economic considerations&quot; in a short two-sentence press release. The announcement was made near the end of the game's development, just before advertisements and previews for the game were scheduled to appear in magazines. The abruptness of the cancellation shocked fans and incited numerous angry letters, online petitions and website articles [http://www.mixnmojo.com/features/read.php?article=samnmaxwtf] directed at LucasArts.

The cancellation caused a number of LucasArts employees involved with the Sam &amp; Max sequel to leave and form [[Telltale Games]], a smaller company dedicated to creating the adventure games that LucasArts, evidently, no longer wished to produce. Their first order of business was an attempt to acquire rights to complete the game, an action which rival publisher [[Bad Brain Entertainment]] had already begun. LucasArts broke off negotiations with Bad Brain on [[March 2]], [[2005]] to no avail. Since then, all traces of Sam &amp; Max have been wiped from the LucasArts website including the press releases issued regarding its announcement and cancellation, presumably because of the intense fan reaction. LucasArts' license with Steve Purcell expired in [[May 2005]].

In [[September 2005]], four months after LucasArts' license expired, Steve Purcell announced that he would be working with Telltale Games on a new and unrelated Sam and Max project. The game is to be released in an episodic nature, similar to Telltale's previous games.

      <text xml:space="preserve">{{Color depth}}
'''Highcolour''' (or '''Hicolour''', '''Highcolor''', '''Hicolor''', '''Thousands''' on a [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]]) graphics is a method of storing image information in a [[computer]]'s memory such that each [[pixel]] is represented by two [[byte]]s. Usually the [[color]] is represented by all 16 [[bit]]s, but some [[video chipset]]s also support 15 bit highcolour.

In 15 bit highcolour, one of the bits of the two bytes is ignored, and the remaining 15 bits are split between the [[red]], [[green]], and [[blue]] components of the final colour, like this:

&lt;pre&gt;Bit   15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
Data   x  R  R  R  R  R  G  G  G  G  G  B  B  B  B  B&lt;/pre&gt;

Each of the RGB components has 5 bits associated, giving 2^5 = 32 intensities of each [[hue]]. This allows 32768 possible colours for each pixel.

When all 16 bits are used, one of the hues (usually green, more on next paragraph) gets an extra bit, allowing a 64 levels of intensity for that hue, and a total of 65536 available colours. There is a problem with doing this because the green channel can have a different value than the other two. Suppose we wish to encode the 24-bit color rgb(40,40,40) with 16 bits. 40 in binary is 00101000. The red and blue channels will take the 4 most significant bits, and will have a value of 0010, or 2 out of 32. The green channel, with 5 bits of precision, will have a value of 00101, or 5 out of 64. Because of this, the color rgb(40,40,40) will have a slight green tinge when displayed in 16 bits.

[[Image:7bit-each.png|frame|Human eyes are more sensitive to green light. The greens are easier to see than the reds, and the blues are almost impossible to see.]]

The reason why green is usually chosen for the extra bit in 16 bits is because human eye has its highest sensitivity for green shades. You can convince yourself of that by looking at the following picture (note: this will work only if your display is [[truecolour]], e.g. 24 or 32 bits) where we show off dark shades of red, green and blue using 128 levels of intensities for each hue (7 bits); if you're not visually impaired, bring your eyes closer to the screen for a moment: you can easily see the lines of green, while you have difficulties to see the lines of red, and you almost can't distinguish the lines of blue.  More rarely, some systems support having the extra bit of colour depth on the red or blue channel, usually in applications where that color is more prevalent (photographing of skin tones or skies, for example).

Unlike [[Planar]] or [[Chunky]] graphics, there is no need for a colour look-up table (CLUT, or palette) when in Highcolour mode, because there are enough available colours per pixel to represent graphics and photos reasonably satisfactorily.

'''Lucasfilm Ltd.''' is a [[film]] production company founded by [[George Lucas]] in [[1971]], based in [[Marin County, California]]. Lucas is its current [[chairman]], and [[Micheline Chau]] is its [[president]]/[[chief operating officer]].

The company is best known for producing the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films, but it has produced other box office hits, including the ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' franchise and ''[[American Graffiti]]''. It has also been a leader in developing new film technology in [[special effects]], sound, and [[computer animation]], and because of their expertise its subsidiaries often help produce non-Lucasfilm pictures.

In July 2005, Lucasfilm's marketing, online, and licensing units moved into the new [[Letterman Digital Arts Center]] located in the [[Presidio of San Francisco|Presidio]] in [[San Francisco]]. It shares the complex with [[Industrial Light and Magic]], and [[LucasArts]].
