"Left Behind" Video Game

That's right! If there's fear-induced money to be made, you can be sure that Jenkins and LaHaye will go for it...

As Plain Truth Ministries writes...

Set in post-Rapture New York City, the "Tribulation Force" (now repentant left-behinders whose loved-ones have already been taken to heaven) battles the Antichrist's UN-based Global Community Peacekeepers. Multiple players can decide whether they want to play the role of Antichrist or Christian. When the good-guy soldiers blow away a bad guy, they say "Praise the Lord," yet they still lose some spirituality points, which must be replenished by prayer. Losing too many points may cause a player to go over to the dark side. Demons help the villains, while angels help the faithful. The game is replete with magical scripture passages and inspirational music.
