Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War
MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 week agoSo like what games do you ban?
My kids are only allowed to play the Steam re-release of Noah’s Ark for NES..
Nah. I’m just fucking with you.
They’re specificcially not allowed to play the Call of Duty series, and anything that presents a lot like it. (Some modern warfare style games accept funding from the US military, and I can’t be arsed to keep track of which ones.)
I play Halo with my older kids, for some idea where I draw the line.

The good news is those games aren’t as popular as they used to be. It’s not 2010s anymore.

I dunno, since if recently got a Steam re-release, it seems like someone must still be buying Noah’s Adventure, even today.

Not sure which game you’re thinking about, there are lots of shitty Christian shovelware from that era, but Konami’s Noah’s Ark has nothing to do with it. And very few to do with the biblical story really.
I had that game on the NES (and I’m not in a Christian or religious family at all).
It’s a real game, the arcade-y kind that tries to kill you all the time. It’s quite hard.

Yeah, that’s the one I meant.
I did assume it was Bible skinned shovelware.
But being made by classic era Konami and getting a Steam re-release had me confused.
That’s good to hear. I guess I’ll keep an eye out for it on my next retro game deep shopping trip.
