Wow.  I've been collecting console stuff for over ten years and have never seen the Wisdom Tree NES games all sealed like that.

I actually have Bible Adventures!  It basically is a really bad platform game where you pick up biblical things and then deposit them at a central location.  If I remember right, in the first level you are Noah and you have to collect all the animals and bring them to the ark.  Of course Bible quotes are scattered between the levels.

If you play these games, will Jesus love you?

Will your soul be saved from eternal damnation?

Don't forget to offset these games with a good death match

I know a guy whose parents made him play and complete every Wisdom Tree game as a condition of them buying him an NES.

I had always thought video games were evil and would bring about eternal damnation on the earth. 

How are these games religious, and how do they escape from the regular evil associated with video games?

sounds sacreligous to me.

those games are a  wolf in sheeps clothing. evil.

I always wanted to try "Billy Graham's Blasters"

"Keep firing! Convert the heathens!"

"you just winged him and made him a Unitarian."

"All right! Full conversion!"

Wow.

Yup I have Bible Adventures, nothing like running around carrying sheep and ducks.
  Intresting thing about Wisdom Tree is they were never licensed by Nintendo to make games for the NES or SNES. I remember reading something about there being a noticeable pause when you first boot some of the games because of the way they got around the NES' copy protection. Although i could be miss remembering that. I think their only Super Nintendo game used part of it's code from Wolfenstein 3D code as the basis for the game. Full of biblical gaming knowledge lol

Judges 15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

Makes God of War seem weak!  Eh?

Maybe a game based around those high energy preacher guys that rip phone books in half "In the Name of the LORD!" 

I remember seeing games like this.  Seems the carts were always weird colors and shapes as they didn't have an official Nintendo licence.

PART of the code from Wolfenstein!!

Super 3D Noah's Ark is essentially a Wolfenstein graphics hack.

Hehehe, I remember quite vividly owning King of Kings and Spiritual Warfare when I was a little kid. I think my parents bought them at a christain book store. I tried playing Spiritual Warfare a few years later, and it wasn't quite as fun as I seemed to remember. But hey, when you're 8 years old and don't have an allowance, you'll take free games any way you can get 'em.

[the3eyedblindman]

[ChadTower]

Only if it's sealed in that condition.
