Gameplay
The object of the game is to free the captives, obtain the three Sankara stones and defeat the main antagonist Mola Ram, while avoiding enemies and traps like snakes, Thuggee guards and dead-ends of mine cart tracks. There are three difficulty settings depending on which doorway the player enters: Easy, Medium and Hard. There are also three types of stages throughout the game: the mines, mine cart tracks and parts of the temple. If the player leaves a stage with at least one slave, "Mola Ram will be pleased" to have the slave(s). If all slaves are released, the player will earn 10,000 points. After freeing the slaves, obtaining the three Sankara stones and defeating Mola Ram, the player will earn a lot of points while the game will start over in a more difficult setting.
Ports
The arcade game was later ported by U.S. Gold to the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX and ZX Spectrum (developed by Paragon Programming) in 1987. During the same year, Mindscape ported it to the Atari ST and the Commodore 64 (different compared to U.S. Gold's version). In 1989, Mindscape ported it to the Commodore Amiga and personal computers that use MS-DOS. The most well-known home console port is the one for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The NES version was ported by Tengen in December 1988.
