Description
Moses: Old Testament Adventure #1 is an early, text-driven educational adventure game released for MS-DOS in 1987 by Three Rivers Software. It is
a notable artifact from the 1980s wave of Christian computer software, designed to teach biblical history through an interactive format.
It is a classic text adventure game (interactive fiction). Players navigate through room descriptions and interact with the environment by typing
verb-noun commands into a text parser (e.g., LOOK, TAKE STAFF, GO NORTH).
As the first installment in a planned series, the game covers the early life of Moses as depicted in the Book of Exodus—starting from his time
in Egypt, leading through his flight to Midian, the encounter with the Burning Bush, and his return to confront Pharaoh. The game was designed
primarily for Christian schools, Sunday schools, and religious households. It aimed to combine interactive engagement with biblical literacy,
often requiring players to know or look up specific Old Testament details to solve puzzles and progress.
Typical for budget DOS educational titles of 1987, the game relies heavily or entirely on text, with minimal PC-speaker sound effects and no
advanced graphics.
