 Introducing...
-- a 3d style Bible story software
game about the story of Joseph from Sunday Software.
Update Note: We have released a Joe
2.2 Update file that improves the game and
fixes a couple of things that make the game
play a bit quicker for classtime.
If you already have verson 2.0 or 2.1 installed,
get the free 2.2 update.
If you're ordering the CD for the first
time, you'll receive the latest version.
Joe 2.2's Game Plot and Content:
Like it's predecessor, Joseph 2.0 is a 3-D
style lesson-game that tells the whole story of
Joseph. Your students
guide "Robin MacTavish," a teenage archaeologist, through the
underground ruins
of Joseph's palace recently discovered beneath the Egyptian sands by
her grandfather, Sir Dabney MacTavish. Their
conversation during the adventure helps tell
the story and guide your students. (If
you've seen our terrific Exodus Adventures
CD, you've already met Robin and Sir Dabney.)

Movie of Joe 2.0
 Joseph has left
his amazing story behind in his mysterious palace for future generations
to discover.
But he's also made getting through the
palace rather challenging and fun.
 Robin meets her
Grandfather, Sir Dabney MacTavish, in the dig tent, then journeys into the underground
ruins to encounter the story. As Robin is guided
by your students through the ruins, they trace the path of the
story of Joseph --the coat of many colors, the dreams, the
well of rejection, Potiphar's house, Pharaoh's prison,
the Baker and Cupbearer's dreams,
Pharaoh's Dreams, famine service to Pharaoh, and
reconciliation with Joseph's brothers.
As she's
exploring the ruins, Robin gets
too close to the well and falls in it. --And that's when the real adventure
begins. The
ruins begin to think that Robin is Joseph. The
slave traders come after her. Potiphar's wife has her
arrested and thrown in prison. She finds the Baker and Cupbearer
and hears their stories. She solves Pharaoh's dream. And only when Robin finds the
cup of Benjamin do the game/ruins
return to normal.
When Robin finds her Grandpa Dabney
again at the exit of the dig site, she gives him
Benjamin's cup which triggers a final event:
Joseph's brothers appear and talk with
Robin. She hears what's in their hearts --and ponders
the true meaning of Joseph's story.
Version Note:
Joseph's Story 2 is now in version 2.2
with several technical and content
tweaks suggested by our customers.
Teaching Notes:
 Joseph's Story
CD is a game that's laid out like a lesson.
You play through the scenes and narrations of Joseph's life.
Students encounter the characters in the story who have something to
say. They must figure out certain parts of the story in order to
advance. In other locations, There are places
in the game that seem to trap Robin, and
she must play her way out. Along the way
Robin finds her grandfather's Bible
Study notes and questions which your
students can answer then by filling in a
worksheet we've provided our guide, or
discussing them with their teacher after
the game is over.
Ideally, the game
REINFORCES your previous Bible study of the story. But the game
itself is a good introduction to the overall story, --as it plays
through the Bible story elements in sequence.
We've added a "Jump Menu" in
Joseph 2.0 allowing teachers or students
to jump ahead to any point in the story.
Ideally, they should go through the
whole game to see the big picture, but
we know that occasionally time is short,
or you need to advance quickly during
your preview & preparation. Just press
"ESC" anywhere in the program to select
a story segment.
Please note:
Joseph's Story IS challenging. Older children and youth will need
about 30 to 40 minutes to play through it.
Younger children may need help
navigating (and will love it just the
same). We strongly encourage
teachers to print the free game guide (it includes a map and
shortcuts). And we strongly recommend printing the free Student
guide and Worksheet to guide your students.
