Gameplay

• In Noah's Ark, the player must round up animals and food -- sometimes by knocking animals out or catching fruit thrown by a monkey -- and carry them onto the Ark. Noah's health is recharged when the player reads Bible verses that are scattered around the four 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 Bros. 2 carry vegetables. Moses can be thrown around without harming him, but enemies cannot be harmed in any way. If the player completes the level without Moses, the game says "Good Work, But you forgot Baby Moses." and the level must be restarted.
• In David and Goliath, the player starts out controlling David as he herds sheep and avoids predators such as lions and bears. The player then obtains a sling and goes on to dodge guards, scorpions, and stones before he fights Goliath's shieldbearer and ultimately Goliath himself, whom the player must strike once in the head to defeat.

Criticism

The cartridge

The game has been criticized for being overly didactic (e.g., gameplay is broken up by Bible verses), for being highly derivative of Super Mario Brothers 2, and for generally bad gameplay. Nevertheless, it sold reasonably well in Christian bookstores. It was featured on Seanbaby's EGM Crapstravaganza: The 20 Worst Games of All Time as the 19th worst game ever.^[1] It should also be noted that despite the name, there is nothing in this game from the New Testament, only the Torah.

Market Value and Rarity

Bible Adventures was never officially licensed by Nintendo. Typically, unlicensed cartridges can bring in a fair bit of money on the collectors market, but Bible Adventures was a fairly common game, and as such, most video game collectors already have a copy of Bible Adventures.

Bible Adventures may be the most common unlicensed game on the video game market.
