I had Temple of Doom on NES all those years ago, and it was one of my favorite games even though it seemed impossible to beat. Especially in those days, before passwords and cheat codes. Haha!! I only reached very near the end of the game just once. I think it was the level just before the bridge, where you can had to continually stun the crocodiles (or alligators, whatever they were) to walk across them, but it was in the middle of these HUGE lava pool that offered nowhere else to run if they became unstunned before you could move. Very frustrating. Never made it that far again.
There was also a coin-op version of TOD at our local mall arcade that I used to play frequently, and I remember enjoying that more than the NES version. Graphics were (obviously) better, and the controls didn't seem quite as frustrating.
A friend of mine had The Last Crusade on NES, but I only played it once or twice. Otherwise, only other Indy game I've ever played is Fate of Atlantis.
