Games With Stupid Names - #12: Captain Bible in Dome of Darkness
No amount of snarky commentary can do these screenshots justice. Suffice to say, I have been playing Captain Bible in Dome of Darkness, a PC point n' click adventure game where you must use Bible verses to defeat evil robots in a bizarre lycra-clad futurescape. Instead of an energy bar, you have a 'faith' bar, which is depleted if you fail to respond to the robots' (who look like a scuba fetish version of the Smash aliens) lies with the appropriate scripture. I played it for a bit, then started to feel my brain turning the consistency of aerosol cheese and had to stop. Just look for yourselves.
First of all, I am a sucker for those awesome computer graphics. I could play Sega Genesis or Carmen Sandiego all day ahead of these new generation games. Those robots are fantastic. Wouldn’t this game be exactly the same on every playthrough if there is only one way, bible power, to win?
