Play Joshua & the Battle of Jericho (Unl) (v6.0) Online
You play as Joshua slowly marching around Jericho, blowing your trumpet between dodging spears and awkwardly jumping at enemies—it’s janky, weirdly colorful, and somehow makes biblical warfare feel like a stiff NES platformer.
Joshua & the Battle of Jericho came out in 1992 for the NES, published by Wisdom Tree, a company known for its religiously themed games. It arrived late in the console's life, a time when many players were moving on to 16-bit systems, so it felt like an odd, almost anachronistic release even then.
You control Joshua, tasked with bringing down the walls of Jericho. The gameplay involves moving screen by screen through enemy territory, using a trumpet to damage walls and foes. You also jump on platforms and avoid projectiles like spears. The pacing is slow, the controls feel stiff, and the difficulty comes more from awkward movement than clever design. Playing it feels like navigating a strange, earnest, and slightly broken relic.
