Kenny Hornung from the theater department came by yesterday to help Zach Whalen and I plan how we would build the panel walls for the exhibit. These are the whiteboard plans with all the details. I learned that this particular design is called a Hollywood flat.
There is lore about this game, but I don’t think any versions have materialized to confirm it existence. I guess we should take it on faith. http:/
Zach Whalen and Mike Black did the heavy lifting to get the UMW Console poster finished up. And we now have 60 posters with five different screens of various media. This should be fun!
The Baby Moses game story for the Bible Adventures NES allows you to throw baby Moses into the water, and then that’s it. The game goes on, but there is no point. Seems like some deep, disturbing existential parable a la Nietszche.
Notice how the graphics seem to be inspired by the Super Mario Bros design.
Zach is playing the Bible Adventures game Baby Moses. You can actually throw baby Moses into the water, and the gameplay goes on, although there is nothing else you can do. Kind of religiously existential.
This quote is from Genesis and is where God tells know I’m about to open the tap on you all. This is some hardcore gamifying of the Bible, although you only shepherd animals, so gameplay gets dull quick.
Zach Whalen has this wild NES game called Bible Adventures that let’s you play through three different stories in the Old Testament: Noah’s Ark, baby Moses, and David and Goliath. You spend most of your time shepherding animals, unless you are throwing babies in water. A truly wild game. It wasn’t an official NES game, but rather a religious bootleg sold only in religious stores. Kinda like early religious rock bands, but for the NES 🙂

Zach Whalen and Mike Black have been hard at work on the UMW Console posters, I like what they’ve come up with a lot!
