''Bible Adventures'' is an unlicensed '', ''Baby Moses '', and '' David and Goliath '', all of which are based rather loosely on stories from the Tanakh . The Gameplay of these games is sidescroller style.


GAMEPLAY

  • In ''Noah's Ark'', the player must round up the animals -- sometimes by Knocking Them Out -- and carry them onto the Ark. Noah's health is recharged when the player reads Bible Verse s that are scattered around the levels.

  • In ''Baby Moses'', the player controls Jochebed , Moses' mother as she tries to save her son from the Pharaoh 's decree that all male Hebrew children be killed. In order to do this, the player carries Moses from one end of the level to the other, in a manner quite similar to the way in which characters in ''Super Mario Brothers 2'' carry Vegetable s. Moses can be thrown around without harming him, but enemies cannot be harmed in any way. If the player beats the level without Moses, the game says "Good Work! But you forgot Baby Moses!" and must restart the level.

  • In ''David and Goliath'', the player starts out controls David as he herds sheep and avoids lions, going on to dodge guards, scorpions and stones before he reaches Goliath, whom the player fights with a Slingshot .



CRITICISM

The game has been criticized for being overly didactic (gameplay is broken up by Bible verses, for example), for being highly derivative of ''Super Mario Brothers 2'', and for generally bad gameplay. Nevertheless, it sold reasonably well in Christian Bookstore s. It has featured in many lists of the Worst Ever Games .
