Games about archaeology

When you think at archaeology in the entertainment world, one name comes to mind: Indiana Jones. The archaeologist with the hat and whip is the protagonist of some very successful movies that spawned quite a few video games. Professor Jones is not the only archaeologist to star in a video game. The pixellated Rick Dangerous and the 3D Lara Croft in Tomb Raider are perhaps equally revered in the gaming community.
