Irgendwer Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Count Dracula Domain of the Undead Dizzy (screen shot from the Spectrum version) Schreckenstein Galahad an the Holy Grail Galahad Ghost Chaser ...and many, many more... (e.g. grave in "Transylvania", cemetery in "The Guild of Thieves", church in "Getaway") Some games contain a "loosing a life" animation with a grave-stone indicated by a cross. If that counts...

scelbi8h Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Soon should be available the A8 port of L'Abbaye Des Morts. In this game you have to collect just that, crosses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(E.g. loosing a life in "Dan strikes back") A halo? "Donkey Kong", when Mario dies. Per Wikipedia, we should also consider ichthys (perhaps all kinds of fish?), shepherds (and lambs, I presume), doves, peacocks, pelicans, anchors, shamrocks and so on. Counting liberally, you might find some of those symbols a little everywhere, even in cases when it was not meant to be symbolism. Somehow I doubt all those crosses found in various games were added for religious purposes as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yep, also a star and a circle, so you could just say "nearly every Atari game out there" and save yourself some time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxl Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Spirit/Ghosts as such finds its place in many religions, e.g. Pagan, similarly placing the sign of the cross in the mathematical operation of addition does not have a Christian context, which is what I mean. I'm not talking about listing games that come from some cultural background, but games with specific symbols in the right context.

_The Doctor__ Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Fish (Ghoti), is a natural Christian symbol... at it's base and in all forms. So let's consider Salmon Run. It's context being that of creation, and the struggle to survive and procreate. Base nature as was designed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pps Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 phev... what is a Christian symbol - that's the correct question. Maybe a Christmastree, too? Then you could add many more, e.g. "CLICK!" and even my "go lucky" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) pps, yes they qualify. They are indeed decorated in such a fashion. Understand the trees described in texts... The Tree of Life, and the Tree of knowledge (good vs evil). One gives life and the knowledge of good and evil comes from faith as taught, the other gives knowledge but deceptively in a form that leads to death. That's how it starts and moves on to other trees over time within it's books. The Evergreen Tree is a symbol of victory over paganism to some. It is green all year round. When decorated it also follows a symbolic structure. What do you see at the top? A Star? An Angel? Splendor? and so on down the tree to it's base. There are volumes dedicated to this topic through ecclesiastical history and even more modern texts contemplating the symbol. So you are correct, those trees qualify right on down to the candy canes in click (Shepard's Hook) documented as such by it inventor as such a symbol.

xxl Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Of course, Santa Claus or a Christmas tree qualify as these symbols. Upload screenshots of the game so you can find the right content and not just the game titles.
