MURRIETA, Calif., Feb. 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG), dba Inspired Media Entertainment, a leading publisher of Christian video games, announced today that Family Christian Stores will expand its PC game titles to include LEFT BEHIND: Tribulation Forces, Keys to the Kingdom and Charlie Church Mouse games. With nearly 300 retail locations, Family Christian Stores is the largest chain servicing the Christian market.
Since Family Christian Stores currently offer only a small number of PC games, Left Behind/Inspired Media products will significantly enhance their selection available in-store and online at www.familychristian.com.
Troy Lyndon, CEO, says, “Family Christian Stores have been very selective about the products they carry. They originally carried LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces, which is known as the most widely distributed Christian PC game in history. This recent decision to carry the sequel, LEFT BEHIND: Tribulation Forces, and our other products is very encouraging and supports our belief that Christian Video Games will become one of the fastest growing sectors of the video game business in the next five years.”
Christian products have gained popular acceptance in the music and book sections of retailers over recent years. For many years, numerous stores have sold gospel music and both fictional and non-fictional Christian books, including the well-known Left Behind book series, which has sold more than 65 million copies. Yet, there are few, if any, moral or Bible-based video game choices for youth and adults alike.
