King of Kings on NES is one of those weird, charmingly earnest religious games from the late '80s—three Bible-themed platformers in one cartridge. The health system’s kinda neat: you lose half a "scroll" every time you get hit, and if you want more, you’ve gotta answer a Bible trivia question. Miss it, and good luck surviving with two pixels of health left.

The first game has you playing as a camel (yes, really) guiding the Wise Men to Bethlehem. You spit water balls at enemies, which feels ridiculous until you realize some foes only go down if you hit them with fruit instead. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are just floating around for points, because why not? Then there’s Flight to Egypt, where you’re a donkey dodging Herod’s goons—kicking scorpions never gets old. The last one’s a race against time as Mary and Joseph search for a lost Jesus in Jerusalem, which is way more stressful than it sounds when the timer’s ticking down.

It’s janky, it’s niche, but there’s something oddly endearing about a camel spitting its way through the Nativity story.
