Red Sea Crossing

This game was created by Steve Slack at Inspirational Video Concepts in 1983 and was only initially available via mailing order in some small magazine publications, but wasn’t uncovered by gaming collectors until 2007 at a garage sale. As the story goes, there were only 100 copies produced, but they were quickly lost with no idea what happened to them. There are only 2 copies that have surfaced. According to the advertisement, the game was supposed to come with a coloring book and an audio tape, but we have yet to see any of those items surface. In September 2012, the cartridge sold for nearly $14,000 on eBay. Another copy showed up at Medium Bob’s Curiosity shop in Philadelphia and was later sold on GameGavel for $10,400. If a copy ever is sold with the coloring book and/or the audio cassette, It would likely climb higher on this list of the rarest games of all time

The gameplay of red sea crossing initially appears as though it was frogger, but is actually a side scrolling platformer, which sees the player as moses jumping over obstacles to gain a higher score, which is displayed in black text at the bottom of the screen.

A small jingle plays upon jumping, and upon being hit by an obstacle, moses dies and red fills the screen, restarting the game
