Play Joshua And The Battle Of Jericho Online

I first played Joshua And The Battle Of Jericho on the Sega Genesis, a game that came out in 1990. It was developed by Wisdom Tree, a company known for releasing unlicensed religious titles. This was during a time when the Genesis library was expanding in all sorts of directions, and this game was definitely one of the more niche offerings on the platform.

You control Joshua, moving him through a series of side-scrolling levels. Your main goal is to reach the city of Jericho and bring down its walls. The gameplay involves a lot of jumping across platforms and using a slingshot to defeat enemies like birds and soldiers. You also collect scrolls that contain verses from the Bible, which is a core mechanic. The pacing is quite methodical, as you often need to carefully time your jumps and attacks to proceed. The difficulty can be unforgiving, with precise platforming required to avoid falling into pits. Playing it feels like a slow, deliberate test of your patience and accuracy.
