Play Joshua & the Battle of Jericho (Unl) (v5.0) Online
You march through Jericho as Joshua, blasting walls apart with trumpets and chucking random objects at enemies—it’s janky, surreal, and weirdly satisfying. The floaty jumps and rough edges just add to its unlicensed NES charm.
Wisdom Tree released Joshua & the Battle of Jericho for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, a time when unlicensed religious games were a peculiar subgenre on the platform. It stands out as a curious artifact, a side-scrolling action game that retells the biblical story with a distinctly homemade feel.
You control Joshua, moving screen by screen through the city of Jericho. Your main goal is to destroy the city walls by playing a trumpet at specific points, while fending off enemy soldiers with thrown objects like jars or rocks. The pacing is deliberate, and the controls can feel imprecise, with awkward jumps and sometimes unpredictable enemy behavior. Despite its rough mechanics, there's a strange satisfaction in seeing the walls crumble and progressing through each stubborn screen.
