When all the scrolls are gone, your game is over.
You can collect additional scrolls in the game but to get the scroll, you will need to correctly answer a Biblical question.
In The Wise Men , you are the camel taking the wise men to Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus.
Along the way, in addition to scrolls, you can gather gold, frankincense and myrrh for points.
You can run and jump and spit water balls at your enemies.
You can also collect fruits that can be used against enemies.
Fruits are more powerful than water balls and some enemies can only be destroyed with fruits. "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem..." In Flight to Egypt , you are the donkey carrying Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus away from Bethlehem to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath.
You will have to run from, jump over or kick enemies and/or obstacles. "When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. 'Get up,' he said, 'take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt.
Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.'" In Jesus and the Temple , you are Joseph and Mary, searching for young Jesus, who has become separated from you after you have left from the feast of the Passover.
You must run from or through and jump over enemies and obstacles within a time limit.
If the timer runs out on any level before you finish, you will have to restart. "After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions."
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks King of Kings: The Early Years for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding King of Kings: The Early Years to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1991.

Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
