"There's a good argument for the 1992 game, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, but the truth is, one 1985 game had to get us to the point where the whip-cracking adventures of our favorite scruffy archaeologist seemed viable and, crucially, playable. That game was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which was released in 1985, one year after the film of the same name was in theaters."
"As one of the earliest examples of digitized speech in video games, The Temple of Doom followed in the footsteps of the 1983 version of the Star Wars arcade game by adding familiar dialogue into the action. But the gameplay of Temple of Doom, combined with some Indiana Jones authenticity, is what made this game such a leap forward. The concept of the game was simple: It's toward the end of the movie, and you're Indiana Jones, already trapped inside the titular Temple of Doom."
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1985) was developed by Atari Games and first released as an arcade title. It followed earlier, less influential home releases and became the third Indy game overall. The game introduced digitized speech into the action and used familiar film moments to reinforce authenticity. Its gameplay design presented three main tasks set near the film's ending and emphasized arcade accessibility. The combination of recognizable dialogue, tighter mechanics, and arcade presentation made the game a pivotal step that made Indiana Jones adventures feel both viable and enjoyable in video game form.
