I was chatting to my Mum recently about my Christian Point & Click adventure game idea, and her instant reaction was “I’ve heard all this before…” It turns out that the idea of using computer technology to share the Christian faith with kids runs in the family – my Dad devoted a lot of time back in the late ’80s and early ’90s making some animated Bible stories on his BBC Master computer.
He’s recently converted them all so that they’re suitable for uploading to YouTube. I’d forgotten quite how well-done they are (once you can see past the understandably dated visuals), with loads of great little touches that bring the stories to life. The characters are great fun, and they’re well worth a watch!
Here they are – listen out for a few cameos by baby Andy Geers!
- The Good Samaritan
- Zacchaeus Meets Jesus
- Blind Bartimaeus
- The Christmas Story: Part 1 and Part 2
