Game Type: historical adventure

For a full explanation of our ratings system, click here

You've been given a vacation in time to visit Jerusalem from the time of David, through the time of Jesus and through the time of the Crusaders, Muslim and modern day rulers.  Because your travel agent has clout, for tour guides you have Kind David, Herod the Great, the wife of Emperor Constantine and more.  With such an august group of guides, you're bound to get some great insights into the history of Jerusalem.

And indeed you do.  This isn't exactly a game but in many ways it feels like a game.  It's several years old but worth every penny.  If you're into biblical history then this piece of software is a must buy.  I've found no other piece of software which presents biblical history in such an entertaining and educational fashion.  I wish they'd done more. Perhaps they have and I've not yet discovered them.  One can only hope.

Since Jerusalem is presented from the perspectives of the current rulers of the various eras in which the city is explored, this has appeal to anyone (not just Christians) who are interested in Jerusalem and biblical history.  The characters presented are well acted and written so that they present interesting and humorous personalities.

You can find this title at most any software store. Your local Christian bookstore should have a copy on hand as well.
