When I was younger, a friend of mine had a Sega Genesis, but his parents would only let him buy Christian games. As a result, they had spent about $150 on a game system .. for him to play ONE game. And it was bad. Really bad. But, I collect humorously bad games, especially unlicensed/pirate ones. So, I recently started to investigate just what this one was.
I will relate what I can recall from memory, though, after this much time, some of it is bound to be a bit wrong.. but, I have a great memory for ancient video games, and other useless information. So, here goes. :)
- It was a platformer.
- "Greensleeves" was looping over and over.
- The first level had a lot of white. I recall it looked like the ruins of ancient Rome, or something to that effect. I remember pillars, perhaps broken ones.
- I recall my character wearing a white outfit. Perhaps a robe of some sort.
- I remember being able to jump, and having to get over gaps.
- I don't remember any attacks or special movies of any sort, except for jumping.
- I asked my friend what the plot was. All he could tell me was something to the effect of, "You play as God, and Jesus has been kidnapped. So, you have to rescue him."
It's strikingly similar to the game "Jesus and the Temple", one of 3 god-awful (pun intended) games in KING OF KINGS for the NES. That game is also a platformer. Jesus is missing, and you have to rescue him. You play as some biblical character in a brown outfit, you can jump, but not attack. You avoid a lot of, ironically, "God's creatures" which are for some reason trying to kill you. :roll: Greensleeves loops endlessly. But, the levels are not Rome-like or white, they are mostly forests and waterfalls. Way too many waterfalls. The game was made by Wisdom Tree, who made nothing but Christian games after changing their name from "Color Dreams" (most of you prob'ly know that though.) I suspect the same company made the Mystery Christian Genesis Game.
Can anyone help me pinpoint just what on earth this game is? ..
Thanks!
