'Left Behind' creator looks ahead

By BILL HUTCHENS, TACOMA NEWS TRIBUNE

(SH) - Troy Lyndon remembers doing one interview for last year's Christian Game Developers Conference.
"I was interviewed by the '700 Club,' and I think that was it," Lyndon said last week in a phone interview from the 2005 conference in Portland, Ore.

This year, things are different for the CEO of Left Behind Games.

With all the hoopla over sex and violence in games in recent weeks and months, parents - and the media - are looking for redeeming content in videogames. Perhaps a game series based on the popular "Left Behind" Christian books is a good place to start.

"I think the success of the 'Passion' (film) has combined with people honestly being tired of videogames representing a more-satanic-than-thou image," said Lyndon, who has done several interviews in recent weeks.

Like many videogames, the first "Left Behind" title will have an apocalyptic warfare theme. The game will be based on the books and will follow the adventures of those who are left behind to face a frightening period known as the Tribulation after the mass disappearance, or "rapture," of the church.
