The Moral Substitute: Difference between revisions

Line 133:

* A Christian ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' clone, entitled ''Guitar Praise'', which includes a lot of groups listed on [[Christian Rock]] (and one song from a [[Not Christian Rock]] group, [[Flyleaf]]).

* There's a Catholic-themed clone of ''DopeWars'' called, yes, ''[http://www.phatmass.com/more/games/pope_wars/ Pope Wars]''. It's somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

* There was a PC game spawned by the ''[[Bibleman]]'' video series by a company called Covenant Studios. It played sort of like ''[[Diablo]]'' with jerky controls, sprites that moved at a snail's pace and weapons of a purely defensive nature -- even the character who had a laser gun at the time. Instead, there's a clunky system to destroy enemies with random Bible passages. To top it all off, Bibleman, the character the series is named after, has to be unlocked before players can take control of him. Oddly, despite this winning combination, the purported [[~~Play Station~~ 2]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions never materialized. At last check, the developers' site had disappeared off the face of the internet.

* Parodied mercilessly in a viral campaign for ''[[Dante's Inferno (video game)|Dante's Inferno]]'', which offered a game at the complete opposite end called ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRMiRFJzIKA Mass: We Pray]''. And naturally, [[Take That|it was presented as]] a game using [[Wii]]-like technology. The punchline was that, whenever you clicked any link on the fake website for the game (which is now dead), you got a message more in the style of the ''real'' game informing you that performing mass without a real Catholic priest [[You Bastard|falls under the sin of Heresy]].

* People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has made a number of animal rights-themed [[Web Games|Flash parodies]] of popular games.
