 Borobodur
Borobodur (I have to look at the disks every time I go to type the name, y'know) is a straightforward enough platform game, superficially in the same vein as First Samurai or Wolfchild.
Some of the problems you have to solve are pleasantly taxing (ie you do have to think about them, but not too hard), and you can choose not to watch the intro and game-over sequences (which is a definite blessing).
Big and not-bad graphics (if a bit on the crude side), but when it comes to gameplay Borobodur is hopelessly lost forever iin the craplands of mediocrity.

But Borobodur, near Jogjakarta, is one of the many monuments on the island of Java that testify to Indonesia's pre-Islamic past.
It is a Buddhist monument, and once a year the Buddhists of Indonesia and people from overseas as well, come to Borobudur to celebrate Wesak, which is a celebration of the birth and the enlightenment and the death of Buddha.
At that time, tens of thousands of people turn up at Borobodur to pay their respects and to participate in the ceremony, but apart from that, Borobodur is very much a secular artifact, which is very much visited by Muslims.

 Celebrating Buddha, 13 May 2006 - Borobodur, Indonesia
Pilgrims make the five-mile trek from Mendut in central Java to Borobodur, one of the Wonders of the World which took a century to build when it was established as a monument to Buddha in the ninth century.
The incredible monument is worth visiting at any time of the year, simply to witness and admire its beauty and sheer scale, but the area takes on a more atmospheric feel when visited by hundreds of pilgrims on the evening of the May full moon.
Celebrating the life and enlightenment of Buddha, the monks remain chanting and praying for the majority of the evening, something that is a spell-binding sight for those who make the trip themselves to see it.

We didn't visit Borobodur at sunrise, just not early morning people(!) but we loved Borobodur it's quite fascinating and is so much more exciting/interesting in person than when you look at 2 dimenaionial representations.
As to the price Yogyakarta, with the exception of the Aman, is extradinarily cheap and the local company we used charged $25pp for our trip which was meant to take 5 hrs and took closer to seven.
However there is one museum that has various stones that were not used in the rehabiliation of the temple.
