Item Description

Moses has a people to lead, a desert to cross and a level full of Pharaoh's soldiers and magicians standing between him and the exit. In Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land his weapon is the Word of God itself, fired across the screen as glowing W's that knock out enemies and clear obstacles from his path. It is one of the strangest premises on the NES, and underneath it sits a surprisingly sturdy action-puzzle game.

Each stage is a dense maze in the Boulder Dash mold, and the real challenge is planning a route. To finish a level Moses has to gather five question marks and a required amount of manna while staying clear of the enemies hunting him, and a careless move can leave him boxed in with nowhere to go. Between levels comes the twist only Wisdom Tree would add: five multiple-choice Bible questions, with an extra life on offer for a strong score. There are 100 levels in all, the back half revisiting the first fifty layouts with tougher enemies, and the stage music is built on the Sunday-school sing-along “Father Abraham,” which is either charming or impossible to get out of your head, depending on the hour.

The game is a reworking of Crystal Mines, an earlier Color Dreams puzzle game, released through Wisdom Tree, the Christian label Color Dreams created and sold largely through Christian bookstores rather than toy aisles. Like the rest of the Wisdom Tree library, it ran on the NES without Nintendo's approval, which puts it right in the middle of the wildest chapter of the console's history, alongside Bible Adventures and Spiritual Warfare. Exodus later reached the Game Boy and Sega Genesis too, but the NES cartridge is where it began.

For collectors working through the unlicensed side of the NES library, this is a cornerstone of the Wisdom Tree story, and for puzzle fans it is an honest, methodical maze game with a premise nobody forgets.

About the game

Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land is an unlicensed NES game made by Wisdom Tree in 1991. According to the game's instruction manual, the player controls the biblical figure Moses as he leads the Israelites to the promised land. Moses has the ability to shoot glowing "W's", which signify the word of God, to defeat enemies and remove obstacles. To finish each level, Moses must acquire five question marks as well as a certain amount of manna while avoiding enemies such as magicians and soldiers. After a level is completed, the player must answer five bible-related questions before advancing to the next level. Exodus, like many Wisdom Tree games, is a rehashed version of a Color Dreams game, in this case Crystal Mines.
