Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is an action-platformer released for the NES in 1987 by Atari Games Corporation. Based on the arcade game, it casts you as Indy navigating deadly caves, riding minecarts, and fighting Thuggee guards to rescue imprisoned children and recover the sacred Sankara stones.
How to play
Your objective is to explore the temple’s levels, freeing children from cages and finding the exit. You are equipped with your signature whip to defeat enemies and swing across certain gaps. The game cycles through distinct stages: exploring the mines, riding minecarts, and recovering the stones.
Controls:
- Move/Climb: Arrow keys
- Jump: X
- Whip: Z
- Start: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Your whip attack has a slight delay; time your strikes early when enemies approach.
- In the minecart stages, you must tilt left or right to avoid derailing on sharp corners.
- Take your time on platforming sections, as falling damage and precise jumps are major hazards.
