12/31/2008 Do Color Dreams Always Lead to the Wisdom Tree? Unlicensed Videogames and MoralityYesterday, when I had it in my head to write about Wisdom Tree Games, I just wanted to blast them. They sort of have a reputation for really hard games that don't seem to be finished. They are also known for making unlicensed games for the NES and the ONLY unlicensed game for the Super Nintendo, "Super 3D Noah's Ark". I wanted to go into a rant about how "Super 3D Noah's Ark" is an almost direct copy of Wolfenstein 3D, some of their Christian games are bad copies of their bad earlier games, and how you've pretty much got to turn into a hacker/miscreant in order to play their games because you have to either do funky things such as wait at least 7 seconds between turning on and off the game system. Or, as in the case of "Super 3D Noah's Ark", you have to insert a licensed game cartridge into the top of the "Noah" cartridge, sort of like using a Game Genie, in order for it to work. But, I don't want this post to be about that. A different slant came to me. This is a game company, earlier known as Color Dreams, who took some of their earlier products, which were in cases slightly to fairly risqué, and decided to make wholesome games. In the early 90's, nobody was really making Christian video games. Actually, it seemed like an oxymoron. I really don't know what their initial thinking was, but they made it about God, and that's not so bad. If you want to read the rest of it, click here. |
