The Bible: the computer game

I've just had my first $$$ million dollar idea $$$ Woo hoo! I'm gonna be rich (please don't steal my idea, you bastards!) OK. So this is my idea: The Bible: The computer game. Basically, you start at Genesis, and work your way through 66 levels til you get to Revelations. To pass each level, you have to do the correct thing. So, if you're Cain you gotta kill Abel, then you pass that level. If you're Abraham then you gotta NOT kill Isaac to pass the level. Oh man, it'll be the best. There are so many possibilities. And it could pay homage to plenty of classic games, too. For instance, Zaccheus climbing the tree could be like Mario Bros, getting that dude through the roof would be like Tetris, and the book of Song of Songs would basically be an Old Testament version of Leisure Suit Larry. Revelation could be interesting. Not sure exactly how to go about that one. Oh yeah, and there could be hidden extras, little easter eggs that take you in different theological directions (click here for the pre-millenial-dispensationalist level, or get the cheat-codes for the hidden Apocrypha levels)


Yeah man, I think I'm definitely on to something here. And if the game really takes off, I could make a sequel: Church History: the computer game . And boy, what an interesting game that will be.
