Like fish and bread, endless supply of Left Behind games being given away for free @ Gaming Target

News: OK, not endless, but Left Behind Games is offering up 1,000,000 copies of their spiritual RTS.

Left Behind Games has announced they will be giving away one million copies of their RTS game Left Behind: Eternal Forces. The game, which is based on the bestselling series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins has been available since November 2006. A sequel, Left Behind: Tribulation Forces, was released last November.

To obtain their free game, all you have to do is go to lbgames.com/free and request a copy. The game is available in both a boxed version and a downloadable copy, but a "nominal shipping and processing fee" (about $5) applies to both.

So why is Left Behind Games doing this? Well...

"This new program will help us to increase our installed base of users to benefit future sales and expand distribution of the world's only games where prayer is more powerful than guns", said Troy Lyndon, chief executive officer of Left Behind Games. Lyndon continues, "More and more people continue to communicate how grateful they are that our content presents a healthy alternative in an industry that is getting increasingly more graphically violent. Finally, parents can get their youngster, for FREE, a fun and safe game that encourages positive values."

Oh, and be sure to check out some of the screenshots on the Left Behind website. Those "positive values" include the good guys being able to set the bad guys on fire with just prayer.
