Due to the successful reception of ''Fate of Atlantis'', Barwood helped Joe Pinney, Bill Stoneham, and Aric Wilmunder conceive a sequel to ''Fate'' entitled ''Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix'', in which after [[World War II]], Indiana Jones would need to defeat [[Neo-Nazism|Neo-Nazis]] in order to prevent [[Adolf Hitler]]'s resurrection in [[Bolivia]] with the [[Philosopher's Stone]]. However, the title was cancelled after LucasArts became aware that with how the story dealt with [[Neo-Nazism]] would affect the game's sales in [[Germany]], which was an important overseas market for adventure games at that time. Still wanting to do one more Indiana Jones graphic adventure, Wilmunder wanted to do one entitled ''Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny'', but it was also scrapped.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Adventure-Treff|url=http://www.adventure-treff.de/artikel/interviews.php?id=49&lang=eng|date=2008-05-27|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080527154123/http://www.adventure-treff.de/artikel/interviews.php?id=49&lang=eng|access-date=2020-05-31|archive-date = May 27, 2008}}</ref> Despite this, both the ''Iron Phoenix'' and the ''Spear of Destiny'' stories were later adapted into four-part comic books by [[Dark Horse Comics]].
In 1995, Barwood worked on ''[[Big Sky Trooper]]'' and directed the live-action sequences of ''[[Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire]]'', both released that same year and receiving mixed reviews. He later went to work in desktops games, ''[[Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: Yoda Stories]]'', released in 1996 and 1997 respectively. Both, casual games before there was such a category, were successful.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Video Game Reviews, Articles, Trailers and more - Metacritic|url=http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/250645-star-wars-yoda-stories/index.html|website=www.gamerankings.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-31|archive-date=April 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409193545/http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/250645-star-wars-yoda-stories/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> After ''Yoda Stories'', Barwood returned to make another ''Indiana Jones'' game. His original idea was to use the [[Roswell UFO incident]] as the story's [[plot device]], but George Lucas prevented him from doing this, so he opted to make a new story.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hal Barwood - Finite Arts - Interview - Adventure Classic Gaming - ACG - Adventure Games, Interactive Fiction Games - Reviews, Interviews, Features, Previews, Cheats, Galleries, Forums|url=http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/428|website=www.adventureclassicgaming.com|access-date=2020-05-31|archive-date=January 10, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230110230553/http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/428|url-status=live}}</ref> The game became ''[[Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine]]'', in which Indiana Jones, along with Sophia Hapgood, want to find the Infernal Machine, a mythological [[Babylon]]ian power source, before the [[Soviet Union|Soviets]] could do it. ''Infernal Machine'', as being the series' first [[3D computer graphics|3D]] installment video game, was released in 1999 and became a success like ''Fate of Atlantis''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Video Game Reviews, Articles, Trailers and more - Metacritic|url=https://www.metacritic.com/game|website=www.metacritic.com|access-date=2020-05-31|archive-date=July 10, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190710014648/https://www.gamerankings.com/pc/606524-minecraft/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> That same year, in August, ''[[PC Gamer]]'' magazine designated Barwood as one of the top 25 game designers in the United States.<ref name="fuhr_interview">{{cite web|title = Interview with Hal Barwood|url = http://www.therainfarm.com/paradigm4/Barwood_Interview.html|publisher = Rain Farm Press|author = Paul Fuhr|access-date = 2008-03-27|url-status =
Following the release of ''Infernal Machine'', Barwood designed and presided over the development of ''[[RTX Red Rock]]'' and helped revise the story of ''[[Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb]]'', another ''Indiana Jones'' video game; it involves Indiana Jones searching the tomb of the Chinese emperor [[Qin Shi Huang]] before the Nazis and a Chinese Triad can find it. Both ''Red Rock'' and ''Emperor's Tomb'' were released in 2003, the former with negative reviews and the latter to critical acclaim.<ref name="theindyexperience.com"/><ref>{{Cite web|title=RTX Red Rock Review|url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/rtx-red-rock-review/1900-6030241/|website=GameSpot|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-31|archive-date=July 30, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730070802/https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/rtx-red-rock-review/1900-6030241/|url-status=live}}</ref> After the release of ''Emperor's Tomb'', Barwood retired from making video games for LucasArts, although eight years later, he briefly returned in 2011 to work in cooperation with [[Zynga]] in the [[Facebook]] online video game ''[[Indiana Jones Adventure World]]'',<ref>{{Cite web|title=Indy no longer anti-social thanks in part to Hal Barwood|url=https://mixnmojo.com/|website=The International House of Mojo|language=en|access-date=2020-05-31|archive-date=June 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170609073340/https://mixnmojo.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> which was discontinued in 2012.
