The King of Kings is comprised of three games, each dealing with a different segment of Jesus' life.

Not to be confused with the strategy game King of Kings.

Level Skip#

There is a level skip cheat which is normally disabled. To bring it back, change address 003B to any non-zero value. With the code re-enabled, you can now press B and Select during the gameplay to skip the current level.

This is also present in Bible Adventures.
