Bible Adventures (1991) – The Unlicensed Christian NES Game That OUTSOLD Mega Man

In this video, I dive into Bible Adventures for the NES — but this isn’t your typical playthrough.

Before we get into the gameplay, I explore the bizarre and fascinating history of Wisdom Tree, the Christian game company formerly known as Color Dreams, and how they managed to sidestep Nintendo’s strict licensing rules to release Bible Adventures — the best-selling unlicensed NES game of all time.

The cold open and host segment cover the legal battles with Nintendo, the formation of Tengen, and how that led to the creation of Wisdom Tree. Then we jump into the actual game with commentary throughout.

Edited for time — this isn’t a full longplay, but every level of all three games along with their endings are shown with reactions and analysis.

If you’re into obscure NES history, retro game weirdness, or just want to know how a janky Bible game outsold Mega Man 1, River City Ransom, and Excitebike… this is for you.
