Kickin’ it old school
‘Nintendo Bible Adventures’1991
Whoever thought religion could be mixed with technology in such a creatively ridiculous way? Poor downtrodden Christian children received this game under the tree during the early ’90s, and though they learned nothing about Adam and Eve, it sure taught them a lot about how to herd animals onto an enormous ark.With three different options for game play, Noah’s Ark, Baby Moses and David and Goliath, kids could spend hours trying to figure out the real religious meaning behind saving Moses from a bunch of spear-throwing dudes, who, even if you throw a baby at them, are impossible to hurt. The real gem of the game was Noah’s Ark, where players collected animals two-by-two, and jumped them into the waiting door of the ark. The only problem came in the form of those nasty squirrels, who continuously huck nuts at Noah in an attempt to foil his plot for salvation. It’s a miracle the species made it out of the game alive.
