Joshua & the Battle of Jericho is an unlicensed 1992 puzzle-action game for the NES developed by Wisdom Tree. Functioning as a biblical-themed spiritual successor to Crystal Mines, the game puts you in control of Joshua as he leads the Israelites. Across 100 top-down grid-based levels, you must navigate hazardous environments, clear dirt paths, and strategically drop boulders to defeat enemy soldiers.
How to Play
Your objective in each level is to collect a specific number of items (like silver, gold, or bronze) and find five question tiles to reveal the exit. After beating a level, you must answer a Bible quiz based on the Book of Joshua to earn extra lives. By default, use the Arrow keys to move, Z or X to use your projectiles and tools, and Enter for Start in your browser.
Tips
- Pay attention to the physics of falling rocks; you can clear dirt beneath them to deliberately crush enemies below.
- Save your limited weapons and bombs for tight situations where you cannot use boulders to clear a path.
