Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Overview
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a computer adaptation of an arcade game, itself based on the film. The player controls Indy through a repeating series of three distinct stage types, with the ultimate goal of confronting the antagonist Mola Ram.
Gameplay involves navigating a mine to rescue captive children, using a whip for movement and defense against various enemies. This is followed by a mine cart sequence where the player must choose paths and avoid hazards on the tracks. The third stage type is set inside a temple, where the objective is to retrieve the Sankara stone from an altar while evading lava and attacks.
The game's structure is cyclical, with the mine and mine cart stages increasing in complexity upon each repetition. The temple layout, however, remains constant. After completing several cycles, the game culminates in a final encounter with Mola Ram on a rope bridge.
