Lord of Hosts

What a heavenly court the Lord of Hosts has prepared for us. In this game built for the Temple operating system (TempleOS), you play as the Only-Begotten Jesus Christ on a mission to throw the best party ever.

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’" Go ahead as Jesus on your skateboard and collect as many pizzas as you can.

My best score is 461! I got to Level 7. Can you beat it?

Avoid glowie FBI drones who seek to ruin your fun and good times. Dodge the prickly cacti and palm trees so you don't lose your momentum. Make the wedding celebration as wonderful as you can.

Attached is the disk that you can load into VMware, which supports sound. In VMWare Select OS ‘Other’ and ‘Other 64-bit’. Make sure memory is set to 2048MB. The disk contains the entire operating system already installed. This game has audio, which only works if you use VMWare, QEMU or a physical install. Virtual Box does not support audio, so please, avoid ranking Audio if you can't hear the music.

If you use QEMU get the disk with wget:

wget https://archive.org/download/lord-of-hosts.-iso/LordofHostsv3.ISO.C

Cd(“LD2”);

#include “Load.HC”;

If you have trouble loading the operating system please let me know for assistance.

If you play this game on Windows 11 or newer hardware please excuse any lag. It is not the OS, it is not the game. Blame modern hardware acceleration and hypervisor companies. Use QEMU or a computer made in the early 2000s for the best experience.
