King of Kings: The Early Years	Wisdom Tree	1991	Another 3 in 1 from WisdomTree. The Bible has very little to say about the early years of Jesus. WisdomTree decided to set three games in this phase of Jesus' life. All three games use the same engine which appears to be an updated version of the one used for Bible Adventures. This is one of the few NES games to have a Christmas theme. [b]The Wise Men[/b] On your way to present gifts to baby Jesus, collect incense, myrrh, and gold. You'll be riding the famous spitting camel as seen in other WidomTree games. Inexplicably, there's a giant ape? to fight a along the way. And some lesser enemies. The music for this level is [i]We Three Kings[/i] [b]Flight to Egypt[/b] Control Mary, Joseph's, and Jesus' kicking donkey as they ride to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all newborn boys. Interestingly it appears you are traveling up? the Ascent of Adumim (the road where the Parable of the Good Samaritan takes place). I could be wrong, but I think traveling from Jerusalem to Egypt means traversing down this famous climb. The kicking donkey is not as famous as the spitting camel, but also makes an appearance in other WisdomTree games.. [b]Jesus and the Temple[/b] No riding an animal this time. When His mother notices [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_in_the_Temple]Jesus is missing[/url], Joseph goes looking for him on foot. I guess Mary noticing first proves the old adage,' Everyone needs a Jewish mother' (even Jesus:) Joseph must make his way to Jerusalem and finally the temple where Jesus is teaching The Word to impressed old dudes. The end of the game contains what may be the first [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altar_call]alter call[/url] in gaming history. It refers the player to the manual for further instructions. While WisdomTree's emphasis of Bible canon and game quality are certainly questionable, this shows the they are in fact sincere and did not just make Christian games as a business ploy alone as some have suggested. The music for this game is [i]What Child is This[/i] This game is not related to [game=#171662]Namco's King of Kings[/game] This game can be played under emulation on WisdomTree's site. [Zerothis]
Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure	LJN	1991	NES-42-USA [Zerothis]
Monster Truck Rally	INTV (Realtime Associates)	1991	You've never experienced anything like the incredible action of MONSTER TRUCK RALLY!nCompete against the computer — or against up to three of your friends at once! — in nine grueling, gear-grinding events: hill climb, drag race, car crush, sled pull, monster rally, drawbridge, donuts, tug-o-war, and bog.nWhether you build your own custom course, or have the computer build one for you randomly — out of millions of possible combinations — every event is sture to be an awesome new challenge, every time!n* Move fast, but be sure to crush as many cars as you can!n* Build your own track, or have the computer build one for you.n* A drawbridge appearing suddenly can mean a super jump or a super crash!n***1 player, 2 players, 3 players, or 4 players simultaneous competitive. Selecting 3 or 4 players verses mode can be a bit problematic. In fact, there is no [b]direct[/b] way to specify "[b]X[/b] players". You must select 1 or 2 as the number of trucks first (or just leave it at the default 1). Only then do you have the option of choosing 0 computer players (in a different menu). And only after choosing 0 computer players are you presented with the the ability to choose 3 or 4 trucks back in that menu) AND have all of them player controlled. This is why, despite owning this game for many years, I misidentified it as having a maximum of 2 simultaneous players. [Zerothis]

Erik The Viking	Video Systems (Eurocom)	1992	A game based on the book and movie of the same name with additional elements form Norse mythology. Done in the Zelda-RPG style. Talks between the English speaking developers and Japanese speak publishers broke down. and even though the game was finished, it was never published. Development carts (prototypes) were made and sent to publisher; current whereabouts unknown. The comunication difficulty can be summed up with this helpful comment from the publisher, "There are bugs. Please fix them." This was a monumental task for only 4 people at Eurocom to attempt. The publisher had many more staff who'd actually found the bugs already, but getting this information to Eurocom was problematic. The four people at Eurocom ended up doing jobs outside their normal training in order to get the game working. Neil Baldwin, the composer, engaged in map building, programming triggers and programming scripts for the game. [Zerothis]
