Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom - Action Video Game by Atari Games Year 1985 - Gameplay Ep. 1
1Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom is an action video game developed and published by Atari Games and released in arcades in 1985. It is based on the 1984 film of the same name, the second film in the Indiana Jones franchise. It is the first Atari System 1 arcade game to include digitized speech, including voice clips of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Amrish Puri as Mola Ram, as well as John Williams's music from the film.
The player assumes the role of Indiana Jones as he infiltrates the lair of the evil Thuggee cult, armed with his trademark whip. Controls consist of an eight-position joystick and a button to use the whip. The player's ultimate goal is to free the children the cult has kidnapped as slaves, recover the stolen relics known as "Sankara Stones", escape the temple, and defeat the cult leader Mola Ram.
After selecting one of three difficulty levels, the player progresses through three stages based on different scenes from the film:
Rescuing captive children from the mines, while avoiding Thuggee guards and other dangers such as snakes, bats, and floor spikes.
Escaping from the Thuggee guards in a mine cart without crashing into dead ends or falling off collapsed sections of track.
Recovering a Sankara Stone from the Thuggee sacrificial altar.
One life is lost whenever Indy touches a hazard or enemy character, falls from too great a height, crashes his mine cart, or falls into lava.
The whip can be used to destroy or stun enemies and to swing across gaps in the mines.
The cycle repeats four times, adding more hazards each time. On the fourth repetition, the altar scene is replaced by a final confrontation with Mola Ram, on a rope bridge over a river. If the player completes this scene, Mola Ram falls to his death and the player advances to a bonus stage in the mines, picking up golden statues for extra points. This stage continues until all remaining lives are lost.
