Welcome to the third installment of Roarin’ 80s’ four part series on the War on the War on Christmas where are doing our darndest to put the Christmas back in Christ. To do this, we are reviewing the overlooked Nintendo Entertainment System gem Bible Adventures.
In this particular episode, we will be focusing on David and Goliath.
This is a game that all fans of the underdog psychological archetype should pick up and never put down. This might prevent potential players from playing it, but that’s probably for the best.
David and Goliath grabs players by the throat and throws them into the heat of the action as they recreate the legendary story of the 5’5” David killing the 5’10” giant Goliath. Chapter by chapter and verse by verse, the story comes alive as players walk to the right, pick up a squirrel, and stand under a flashing arrow – a style of game play that differs drastically from the previous two titles on Bible Adventures.
I needed my pastor to put smelling salts under my nose in order to help me regain consciousness. Talk about intense!
Fans over the underdog should pick this game up and never put it down. Go forth, Christian soldiers! Unfortunately, if you’re unable to put it down, you won’t be able to load it into your NES – rendering the game impossible to play.
Actually, that’s not a bad feature.
