I don't want to play the one where every time you get to wed the hot gorgeous babe, the one playing King David sends you to your death and takes her away from you. That's a bummer game.

A couple of those video games could technically, be for Jewish kids too. Eg: "Moses' Old Testament Adventure,' etc.

Those games look boring as hell. They should make a modern, action adventure, or role playing bible game for PS4 or XBOX. That might be interesting!
Although, admittedly I have no idea which role the player would take on.

Nephi's Quest is definitely Mormon in origin. It's arguable whether they are "Christian" or not.

I would call it Uriah Alone and it would be like a Dynasty Warriors game where you have to kill as many enemy fighters as possible until you are overcome.

Bible Adventures is pretty notorious for being one of the worst games ever. Seanbaby covered it way back when he did his list of the 20 Worst Video Games for EGM: www.seanbaby.com/nes/nes/egm19.htm |

The Taito NES game "Little Samson" that now goes for quite a bit of money probably didn't sell well at the time because the title makes it seem like some lame religious game.

When I was a kid I made a board game that was similar to "Chutes and Ladders", except that the winner square at the top end was "heaven", and it included tiles going off in the negative direction ending in "hell". You would start the game at zero. I had a chute link close to heaven that would send you close to hell. Certain die rolls would make you move backwards. I don't remember if the rules would make you stuck in hell if you ended up there. For those not familiar with Chutes and Ladders, the board looked like this:  |

Are there any Buddhist video games?  |

Are there any Buddhist video games? Guess they would be too dull. 😉 |

I have King of Kings the Early Years, Exodus Journey to the Promised Land, and Bible Adventures (all from Wisdom Tree). I have two cartridges of each game in case one cartridge wears out.
None of these games are on the "new" Nintendo Classic with 30 games built in. That product has not been as successful as hoped probably because 1) no one is writing games for it and 2) the included built in games do not include some of the best like Tetris (!?!?), Renegade, The Magic Of Scheherazade, Disney's Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, any Bart Simpson's games, Top Gun, Silent Service, Battle Tank, or any sports games, and as already noted no Bible based games. No wonder it's discontinued. That's sad, I was hoping it would succeed and get better games.

WTF are you talking about? You seriously think they included that game because it was about the OT? Did you even read the article? |
