 Jerry B. Jenkins & Tim LaHaye: Left Behind. Eternal Forces, 2006 The computer game Left Behind is based on the eponymous series of novels – very successful among the evangelical movement in the USA – by the Christian authors Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, a one-time pastor of a Baptist "Mega-Church." Players find themselves in the scenario of an apocalyptic final battle between good and evil after pious Christians have already ascended into Heaven. The goal of the game is to prevent the antichrist taking over the world. To do this, you have to build churches, reach people with missions and, if necessary, kill them. After every bloody deed, players' so-called "soul points" diminish and have to be restored by prayer in order to carry on the fight for Christian righteousness.  Jerry B.
