I remember in the mid to late 90's Mardel sold the Wisdom tree games. For those who don't know, Mardel is a chain of christian stores owned by Hobby Lobby.
They had an area set up with a Nintendo, Snes and Genesis and each one had a Wisdom Tree game you could play. That was the first time I ever saw Super Noah's Ark. I remember setting there for some time playing it as I had never heard of it at that time.
If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?
Its funny reading that post and then your signature. Those games obviously didnt have an effect on you lol
I believe I saw the NES "Bible Adventures" and, later, "Super 3D Noah's Ark" at a Christian bookstore back in the 1990s...been a long time, though. Didn't take pictures of them.
You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?
I once saw the PC game War in Heaven in a big box at, like, Fred's or something like that (for non-Americans, Fred's is a store whose thing is just selling low-priced items, I think they usually get excess stock that wasn't able to sell elsewhere that they can sell at a discout).
The same shelf had tons of PC games, this was one of those little four-sided ones in the middle of a walkway. I wish such things still existed... sigh... the days of big box PC games.
There's one Christian game called Catechuman or something like that which is apparently somewhat highly regarded even by nonreligious folk.
Does Doom count as a Christian game? You're literally fighting demons in hell.
Wasn't the first Doom mail-order only? The big box one? I think only Doom II was ever sold in retail, but I could be mistaken. Maybe all the copies of Doom were being sold at Christian bookstoresOriginally Posted by Gameguy
I actually know of this game because it was made with the same game engine I was tinkering around with back at the time. I couldn't tell you where it was sold though. I'm assuming just at Christian Bookstores and probably online.
Ultimate Doom, at least, was sold at retail. Plus, it was ported to almost every console of the time.Wasn't the first Doom mail-order only? The big box one? I think only Doom II was ever sold in retail, but I could be mistaken. Maybe all the copies of Doom were being sold at Christian bookstores
