Description

"Joshua & the Battle of Jericho" is a puzzle game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1992. Developed by Wisdom Tree, a company known for producing unlicensed Christian video games, this title featured a biblical theme centered around the story of Joshua from the Book of Joshua in the Old Testament. In the game, players take on the role of Joshua, leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, with the pivotal event being the Battle of Jericho. Gameplay involves navigating through a series of mazes and solving puzzles to strategically advance levels that reflect the biblical narrative, such as the tumbling walls of Jericho.

The gameplay mechanics of "Joshua & the Battle of Jericho" include collecting items, such as ram's horns, mana, and the Ark of the Covenant, which are used to overcome obstacles or enemies encountered along the way. Each level is designed with a unique set of challenges that require both strategic planning and quick reflexes to complete. The game stands out for its integration of religious themes with traditional video game elements, providing an educational yet entertaining experience for its audience. Despite being unlicensed by Nintendo, which meant it was not officially supported or endorsed, the game carved out a niche market among gamers interested in Christian-themed content, contributing to its historical note in the realm of video game culture.
