Games You Didn’t Know

Posted by Mike G on Tuesday, September 7, 2004

I recently downloaded 621 Nintendo Roms with extreme prejudice. I also recently moved in with some new people, one of which has a penchant for sports games. When I told him that we should play Super Tecmo Bowl on NES, he was hooked. This caused most of my roommates and visitors to be very interested in playing NES on Xbox.

When a lazy Labor Day Sunday rolled around I decided to check out all the games I never realized existed.

Then I came upon a little game called Spiritual Warfare

Spirtual Warfare Main Screen

I cannot believe a game like this was made. Its a religious version of Zelda. Now granted I don’t hold anything against religious people. It’s the zealots I can’t handle and I am pretty sure this was their product. How do I know this? Your main function in this game is light an “non-believer ” on fire. Afterwards the “bad guys” turn red and they get down on their knees to pray. I’m not making this up. A few times I ran into an angel who quizzed me on the bible, and if I got the questions right, she gave me items.

There is going to be more content on this, I found some unbelievable games you need to know about. Tomorrow: The Barbie Nintendo game.

I might have played this one when I was a young zeolot. My Uncle is a pastor and his son is a video game freak, so he had all the religious Nintendo games like “Bible Adventures”

A truly terrible game and if anything, it quickened my descent into Atheism.

Dude, I wish my word was lightning.

I saw on G4/Tech TV a few weeks ago there’s a bible thumping version of Doom in which you smite non-believers with a holy bolt and make them believe. No references to that pesky gateway to hell, though.

There’s a gateway to hell in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV Series). Actually its a Hellmouth, and its located directly above their high school. I don’t know that much about Buffy, my old roommate had all the dvds though. He showed me this great scene were all the clicks of the school band together to fight the demons at graduation, it was totally awesome. The demons couldn’t practice their LOVE in Sunnydale after that.
