I`m also surprised that Bible Adventure is such an easy to find game. I had assumed that owing to how much it sucked (and the fact that Wikipedia says it was only stocked in religious stores) that it would be hard to find. Guess not!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-31749905956081318772012-01-17T07:24:56.436+09:002012-01-17T07:24:56.436+09:00I've actually always wanted to play JESUS, but...I've actually always wanted to play JESUS, but seeing as I don't speak a word of Japanese, it won't happen any time soon. It's originally a PC-88 game and apparently it features a space station named JESUS (what?). Hardcore Gaming 101 wrote a short paragraph on the game in the recommendation of old Japanese PC games: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/JPNcomputers/Japanesecomputers4.htm<br /><br />It's also the first Koichi Sugiyama (of every Dragon Quest game) soundtrack. They released a CD of the original PC music in Japan and I found it on a forum. Get's regular play on my daily drives. He even re-used a song from JESUS to make the iconic Dragon Quest theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpsUIRyns4 (skip to 4:10 and at 6:12 is my favorite track on the CD).<br /><br />Also, I don't know what the background of Bible Adventure is, but I've seen it several times at different Goodwills around town. I emulated it once and couldn't make it past five minutes. Every few seconds it tosses at you another arbitrary Bible verse and is so dull. When is the next-gen Noah game going to come out already!?Mark Ayalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770735469226319369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-76852390431357852852012-01-14T09:05:54.196+09:002012-01-14T09:05:54.196+09:00Bryan - I don`t think its supposed to be the actua...Bryan - I don`t think its supposed to be the actual Jesus, though that would be cool (kind of like Weird Al`s version of Ghandi in UHF). <br /><br />Nate - cool,I will check it out (and Action 52/Cheetahman).

His review of Action 52/Cheetahmen is probably my favorite.<br /><br />I think I played a ROM of Bible Adventures once just to see how bad it is... it's pretty bad.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121556443188603610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-41010620256068315782012-01-14T01:49:06.101+09:002012-01-14T01:49:06.101+09:00So, is the Jesus in this game supposed to be, you ...So, is the Jesus in this game supposed to be, you know, the *real* Jesus? If so, that's awesome! I never realized he looked like any old anime dude, though :P Anyway, it's really too bad this has to be a text-heavy RPG. If it was, say, a platformer, I'd totally pick it up -- especially for that box art!Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-9717106220049381352012-01-13T22:24:37.862+09:002012-01-13T22:24:37.862+09:00I`m going to have to watch that review now.
