Apparently the power of faith can do anything. Surely we could come up with something along those lines. How about something akin to the classic Atari game Air Sea Battle only instead of shooting shells at planes, you fire bible verses at sinners?
For example, you could have a level where the enemies consist of units of 2 men holding hands asnd you could shoot them with "Leviticus 20:13" rounds and instead of exploding they disappear in a puff of text that says "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Obviously there will have to be different versions of the game for the different denominations, for example the fanatical muslim one could have levels where you kill women who express the desire to be something other than property

In The Simpsons mod for Doom, there was Flanders instead of Hell Baron and he didn't throw on you some green shit, but bibles.
It must be fake. Nobody would ever dream of making this.
Speaking of fake, I'm willing to wager that it's EA's doing... AGAIN.
I give you: Faith Fighter!
A friend of mine has just suggested this as a game idea
"A better game might be God in the clouds and he has a gun that shoots love hearts. His gun has infinite ammo because he has infinite love. You see the earth in front of you and each nation has icons representing science and secular education, morals and laws. As a country advances in these areas you, as God, have to shoot love hearts at them. When a love heart hits it has the effect of disease, famine, infanticide, genocide, natural disasters, terrorism, war and any other way that you can think of that God shows his love. Your score is represented by the number of prayers made to you and the game is complete once you plunge the entire world into another dark age.'
Sort of a cross between Populous and the old Amiga game Nuclear War

anjohl: AKA, fear and esotericism.

The fear and esotericism of TEH LAWD!
I really don't understand Christianity. It's so racked with illogic and so completely undoes itself that I really don't see how any amount of dogma can hold it together. But then clearly I expect too much from people.

Aliasalpha: In addition to the "News" feeds, there will be segregated free forums for discussion between the like minded faithful about how right they are and a premium forum where, for a modest fee, the faithful can interact with the heathens who have selected the wrong god from the dropdown box and attempt to convert them to the correct way of thinking. A monthly prize of a gold plated holy symbol (customised to the Drip's selected denomination) will be offered to the Drip who can convert the most heathens and get them to change the denomination in their user control panel.
Is is only me that's starting to REALLY think about doing this? I could be an IPvangelist! I wouldn't even have to keep a straight face...

The trolling in those forums would be massive and unrestrained. I like it!

Massive, unrestrained and most importantly, profitable! I was thinking of charging by the message but thats a bit too 'evony' for my taste

Profitable on a greater-than-WoW scale. I can barely imagine how many retards would practically beg to send you all of their life savings.

It would be like Landover Baptists only it would be a thin guise for a massively corporate enterprise... oh, wait.

Do we have another Ron Hubbard in the making here?

Okay the WoW model might be a good one to go for, the premium forum can be a monthly subscription or a bit cheaper if you buy a year worth. That way there's the benefit of pay per use but without the detriment of a single time fee or frustrating microtransactions for each posting
I still haven't heard of a good reason to not do this for real...
Might expand the idea to encompass gaming platform fanboys, PC elitists can congregate like rich WASP pricks, PS3 fans can go on about bluray till they're blu in the mouth and how they only have the exclusives they want anyway and who cares about GTA4, xbox fans can talk about how they get all the good games and the failure rate of the hardware is really overblown and wii fans can talk about... er... I dunno, something about it making you fit and being suitable for the whole family to say "wow, is that it?"

Shouldn't that be "WASD dicks"?
Quite true, real gamers use arrow keys damnit!

Believe it or not, Wisdom Tree Games still exists and still sells the DOS versions of all those games (in addition to many newer Windows games). What's more they have GOG-level pricing for their DOS collection. Perhaps GOG's exciting announcement is Bible Games! ;)
