WI: No Indiana Jones?

Lets say the Indiana Jones films never get off the drawing board. Would there be much of an impact? The only thing i can think of is that films like Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile would either not be made or have a different tone , but im sure the lack of Indy would have significant butterflies in other areas of film as well.
 
Considering George Lucas had been working on the idea since the early 1970's, any world without anything like the series would have to be different from OTL in some other major ways (eg no Star Wars). Failing that, it is also possible an Indiana Smith film gets made by just Lucas, and is very different from OTL.

Would no Indiana Jones take video games in a different direction? one example, no Lara Croft?

No Indiana Jones certainly takes Harrison Ford's career on a different path as well. Does John Rhys Davies get the LOTR role of Gimli?
