Wisdom Tree

Background: Color Dreams was a company that developed video games for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). While most companies that developed NES games obtained an official license from Nintendo to produce game cartridges, Color Dreams was unusual in that it developed NES games without an official license. As a result of its reputation for releasing poor games, Color Dreams formed the label Bunch Games in 1990. Bunch Games was meant to be a label that Color Dreams could use to release lower quality games so that its reputation would not be damaged further. In 1991, Color Dreams formed <a class="external" href="http://www.wisdomtreegames.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wisdom Tree</a> for the purpose of releasing Christianity-themed games. The Wisdom Tree label resulted in Color Dreams' best selling titles, including Spiritual Warfare (a clone of The Legend of Zelda) and Bible Adventures. Wisdom Tree is also noted for creating the only unlicensed SNES game to ever be released in North America, Super 3D Noah's Ark (a clone of Wolfenstein 3D). While Wisdom Tree remains active today and is still selling religious video games, Color Dreams quit the video game business in the mid 1990s. Wisdom Tree is no longer associated with Color Dreams.

Wisdom Tree

(1991-1995)

Logo: On a black background, we see a pink "T" with green leaves on it, and above it is the word "WISDOM" also in pink, and above that is a weird object (which is actually the top of the "T" upside down). The word "ree" appears next to the "T". Copyright info appears below.

FX/SFX: Usually still. On King of Kings: The Early Years, the logo appears without any leaves, then the leaves grow.

Music/Sounds: Usually none. On Spiritual Warfare an eight-note tune (which was later reused for Bible Buffet) was heard.

Availability: Seen on many games from the company.

Editor's Note: None.
