Red Sea Crossing

About

Red Sea Crossing is a 1983 Atari 2600 adventure game where you navigate through biblical-themed levels, avoiding hazards and collecting items. The gameplay focuses on simple platforming and puzzle-solving across 10 stages, each inspired by stories from the Old Testament. Controls are basic by modern standards, but the minimalist design highlights the game's focus on straightforward progression and religious iconography. What makes this title remarkable is its lost history. Nearly forgotten for decades after its initial release, it was rediscovered at a 2007 garage sale and later confirmed through a 1983 ad found by enthusiasts in 2011. Community sleuthing connected the game to its creator, Steve Stack, who developed it as an independent project. With its obscure origins and niche subject matter, it stands out as a curiosity among retro gamers. The game remains a footnote in Atari's library but holds a cult following for its accidental time capsule status.
