I think it is a poster, not that actual game box, which is really awesome! Not to say having the original box for the game wouldn't be pretty sweet too, but a full size MI movie poster is extremely cool. Rare (impossible?) to find game box art that gorgeous these days.

Yeah it's a 24 x 32 poster and thanks! It is a real tragedy about the state of box art these days. The fact that Ken Levine has to stoop to this is just sad. =(

As for playing the old Lucasarts adventure games there's a simply awesome utility called ScummVM. It allows you to play all of the old 2D Lucasarts adventure games on just about any open platform you can think of. PC, Android, iOS, Wii, Dreamcast etc. They all run perfectly too. I've been playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on my phone for a while now. What's also nice about it is that it has expanded to support a number of non-Lucasarts adventure titles as well. As for old 3D adventures like the amazing Grim Fandango there's a new one called ResidualVM that was just released that allows you to play it on modern operating systems.
