Christian Videogame Alternatives Explored

Posted by simoniker on Saturday June 21, 2003 @11:43PM from the bad-dudes-versus-religion-power dept.

Thanks to the TNL forum regulars for pointing to a CBN article discussing the most suitable videogames for Christians (Google cache). The article discusses the "extreme violence, gratuitous sex, and satanic imagery found in many children's video games", and focuses instead on Christian-orientated games such as Ominous Horizons, where "the player takes on the role of a 15th-century Christian who fights demons, but without any blood or gore. The forces of evil - instead of dying - fall to their knees and pray." This N-Lightning-developed game has the player working as a medieval Paladin to return the Gutenberg Bible, which has been stolen by forces of evil, and the developer explains: "..you have a sword of the Spirit.. [that] shoots a burst of light which vaporizes any demonic opponents and the end result is that you know Christ is victorious."

There is very, very little genuine Christianity in Europe. Cathedrals stand as museums for tourists to gawk at. Europe's glorious spiritual heritage is quickly fading into history as Christianity is replaced by Islam and atheism. My brother is living in France now, and he says it is a "dark place."
