Remember when this was the coolest thing a young teen could get their hands on? See below for some of the best Christian-themed games from the 1990s on the Nintendo.

1. Spiritual Warfare

You play the role of a Christian man as he travels through the game world converting non-believers and fighting demons. At the end of the game you fight the final boss, who ends up being none other than Satan himself. This game is very similar to Zelda, except you don't kill people. Instead, you convert them to Christians.

2. Bible Adventures

In this game you help Noah fill the ark before the big storm; pretend you are David battling the giant Goliath; and help save baby Moses from the Pharaoh's overwhelming forces. The game was a collection of three games based on the old testament: Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, David and Goliath.

3. Joshua & The Battle of Jericho

Play as Joshua and lead God's people to the promised land in this bible-based action game. But, rocks, elite forces and soldiers will try to block your every move. That will not stop you though because God has given you the power to get through them. Weapons like the horn of Jericho, God Speed, power-ups, secret exits and other armor will help you in your quest. Race through deadly mazes, and defeat the enemies of God!

4. Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land

Journey to the promise land and experience the spectacular events on your way there. Witness the sovereign hand of God, his chosen leader Moses and the mighty exploits that brought the Israelites out of slavery and established the written law.

5. King of Kings – The Early Years

Another game with three different game options. Experience the majestic birth and childhood of Christ as you proclaim His honor and endeavor to experience the prophecies. Collect gifts for Baby Jesus; escape to Egypt to avoid the wrath of King Herod; and search for young Jesus in the holy city of Jerusalem. Test your Bible skills by answering scores of Bible questions designed to complement the game play.
