The King of Kings: The Early Years is an unlicensed 1991 educational platformer developed by Wisdom Tree for the NES. Designed as a biblical adventure covering the early life of Jesus Christ, the cartridge features three distinct mini-games: The Wise Men, Flight to Egypt, and Jesus and the Temple. Players navigate animals across treacherous terrain, dodge biblical foes, and answer scripture trivia to advance.
How to Play
Choose from one of three campaigns on the title screen. Use the D-Pad to move, press A to jump, and press B to use your attack (such as the camel’s spit). Throughout the stages, you will encounter quiz checkpoints where you must answer biblical trivia correctly to proceed and restore your health.
Tips
- Your projectile attacks travel in an arc. Learn the trajectory to hit enemies from a safe distance before they reach you.
- Do not rush the trivia questions. If you are unsure, read the provided scripture passages carefully to find the correct answer.
