Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
INDY stumbles across the remote village of MAYAPORE in India which was once protected by the sacred and powerful SANKARA STONE. Devistation followed the theft of the stone and the children of the village disappeared. INDY discovers them enslaved in the evil PANKOT PALACE - the home of the Maharajah. The palace is the secret worshipping ground for the THUGGEE death cult. MOLA RAM the ruthless High Priest has forced the village children to dig in the THUGGEE mines for precious gems and other missing SANKARA STONES. The action takes place below the palace where INDY is pursued. He uses his whip to swing across dead and crossways and defend himself against a variety of hazards. The player assumes the role of INDIANA JONES in his quest to recover the SANKARA STONE. Level 1 INDY must free the children along the way and escape the pursuing THUGGEES through the mine caverns; a labyrinth of narrow passages, ladders, chutes and conveyor belts. Level 2 Upon reaching the tunnel entrance INDY rides a mine car still trying to escape the THUGGEE guards and avoid derailling on the unpredictable tracks. As INDY progresses he must watch out for missing rails, jumps, giant bat and a TUGGEE GIANT. Level 3 In THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, INDY must reach the SANKARA STONE which is placed in front of KALI the four armed goddess of death. Once the stone is retrieved, INDY exits into the mine caverns. The action continues until INDY recovers 3 stones. INDY is then faced with escaping over a perilous rope bridge. A "bonus round" is awarded is the escape is successful. Use the FIRE button/key to whip. You will then whip in the direction that you are currently facing. Use your whip to: * Stun thuggee guards * Kill bats * Swing across whipping posts * Fire imprisoned children (whip the locks on the cages).
