Sequel to 'Most Widely Distributed Christian PC Game In History' Goes Mainstream June 15
by Nick Breckon, May 18, 2009 3:42pm PDTDo you like playing Left 4 Dead, but feel guilty that it too strongly implies the absence of an afterlife? Left Behind: Tribulation Forces - Chapter 2 of The PC Game may be your salvation.
A sort of Christian Orange Box, Tribulation Forces contains the original Left Behind: Eternal Forces game and its sequel, allowing players to "combat the Antichrist's forces" using the "power of prayer and worship" in an RTS setting.
Gamer Eric B. of Austin, MN, says, "I play Age of Empires. But being that I'm a fan of the LEFT BEHIND books, I am now a big fan of the LEFT BEHIND PC games." "When I'm done playing the LEFT BEHIND game I feel all jazzed up and don't feel emotionally wiped out like I feel after playing other video games," added Eric B. "I love the style of the game and everything about it!"
Says publisher Left Behind Games: "Command your forces through the streets of New York in one of the most realistic recreations ever seen in a video game--now with improved graphics!"
Left Behind Games also claims that a disinformation campaign targeted at the first title "may have resulted in a $200 million loss in shareholder value as [Left Behind Games'] stock plummeted." The campaign was allegedly run by the Tides Center, and succeeded "by making false claims that the game included conversion to Christianity as a requirement or gave points for killing Muslims," according to the publisher.
Left Behind: Tribulation Forces - Chapter 2 of The PC Game, the sequel to "the most widely distributed Christian PC game in history," will be released to "mainstream" stores June 15.

What I had heard was that you had to convert people in the game to Christianity and if they didn't go along with it, kill them. Context being that it was the end times. I never heard anything about the Muslim bit.
Was what I heard wrong? Has anyone here actually played this thing?

Take appallingly bad theology, uniquely atrocious writing, swirl them together into a fetid maelstrom of text and you have the Worst Books Ever Written.
But of course it sells millions of copies to the people who've never actually read the bible, people who will accept any ludicrous "literal" interpretation that's shoveled upon them.
So that's as good a reason as any to adapt this tripe into a game: a pre-established target demographic of credulous people who revel in chaos and violence and death. But it's okay, because this time it's religious violence, and that's just fine because they want it to actually happen to real people, instead of happening to zombies or aliens or other imaginary monsters on a screen.
