History

Music Machine by Sparrow Records, for the Atari 2600, was the first Christian videogame. However, it does not appear to have been a market success.

Starting in the late 1980s the unlicensed game developer Color Dreams using the name of Wisdom Tree, developed the first Christian video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, called Bible Adventures.[4] It featured Bible accounts such as Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, and David and Goliath. It was released in 1991 to Christian bookstores.

Christian education-oriented software began to appear in the late 90's, and took off in the 2000s with the assistance of Sunday Software Inc.

Many Christian game developers have come together to form the Association Of Christian Entertainment
