Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1985 Video Game) - Gameplay

Gameplay

The player assumes the role of Indiana Jones as he infiltrates the lair of the evil Thuggee cult, armed only with his trademark 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," and escape from the titular temple. Throughout Temple of Doom's several modes of gameplay, Indy can only take one "hit" (sustaining physical contact with enemies or other hazards) before losing a life.

After choosing a difficulty level, the player begins the game, initially composed of three levels, each based on specific scenes from the film.
