Apocalypse now
Christian Century, June 13, 2006
APOCALYPSE NOW: First there were the Left Behind books, followed by several movies. Sometime later this year a video game will be released based on the Left Behind version of the apocalypse. According to a representative of the company producing the game, it includes "one cataclysmic moment [in which] millions of people disappear, throwing the world into instant chaos.
The Rapture has arrived, and those who have been saved are swept into Heaven." One of the game's cocreators says the game has "all the Christian stuff, and it's still got all the cool stuff" (www.leftbehind.com).
