Why Their Games Were A (Color) Nightmare

 * 1) The controls in all of their games absolutely suck.
 * 2) Very poor graphics even for the NES.
 * 3) In one of their games, Menace Beach, the terrible level design makes one of the stages impossible to complete without using exploits.
 * 4) Almost every game they have made are complete trash and have no replay value.
 * 5) Nintendo threatened retailers to not stock products if they carried unlicensed NES games, so Color Dreams formed Wisdom Tree and sold Bible-themed versions of their games to Christian bookstores due to a loophole. This made it so Nintendo would not threaten Christian Bookstores because it was considered blasphemous for a company to go after Christian institutions.
 * 6) None of their games are even remotely fun to play and are certainly not worth the high prices they command on eBay.
 * 7) The music in most of their games are just dreadful to listen to. Even if you pause the game the music still keeps playing.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) One of their unlicensed NES games, Crystal Mines, is actually pretty good. That also goes for the Atari Lynx-exclusive sequel, Crystal Mines 2 as well as the Wisdom Tree equivalents, Exodus: Journey To the Promised Land & Joshua & the Battle of Jericho, which are on both the NES & Sega Genesis, though the latter 2 versions have biblical questions shoehorned in, which are nothing but bonuses.
