Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1988 video game) "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" gives the player control of Indiana Jones as he makes his way through the temple in a series of 12 levels or "waves." In the final wave, the player must defeat the villain of the film, Mola Ram, on a rope bridge that recreates the final scene in the movie. Reception of the game was generally negative. The film version of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was released in 1984 and starred Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. A year later, in 1985, Atari Games capitalized on the franchise by releasing the
Indiana Jones (franchise) Atomic Ants". David Koepp continued on from there, giving his script the subtitle "Destroyer of Worlds", based on the Robert Oppenheimer quote. It was changed to "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", as Spielberg found this a more inviting title which actually named the plot device. Koepp wanted to depict the character of Mutt as a nerd, but Lucas refused, explaining he had to resemble Marlon Brando in "The Wild One"; "he needs to be what Indiana Jones' father thought of [him] – the curse returns in the form of his own son – he's everything a father can't stand".
